    Why choose this course?

    When you wish to acquire a building owned by a company, there are two possible structures: either the acquisition of the building (asset deal) or the acquisition of the shares in the company that owns the building (share deal).
    The choice between one or the other has very different tax consequences for the seller and the buyer.
    This course will give you a better understanding of these consequences, so that you are better equipped to negotiate the acquisition of a property.
    This course is led by a tax lawyer specialized in real estate taxation.
