I recognize the actual figure is very specific to each situation, but is there a general figure you advise using?
1. Value added tax in transactions involving almost any transfer of assets outside of the US. 2. Payroll-related costs. 3. Additional legal fees, including success fees.
Besides these costs, in some jurisdictions I suggest to pay close attention to modifications to the tax attributes of the target company.
