Tax Insurance
What it is
Specific policy designed to take identified tax risk out of a deal or structure.
It is widely used in M&A when neither seller nor buyer is willing – or able – to retain a known tax risk, avoiding the need for escrows or price chips. It can also be used on a standalone basis where tax law is unclear or open to interpretation and obtaining formal tax authority clearance is not possible or practical.
