What to check before deciding

Tax treatment depends on the actual transaction, accounting evidence, counterparties and timing of income or expense, rather than the agreement's label alone.

How to prepare the matter

  1. 01

    Define the outcome and decision authority

    Identify the transaction objective, approving authority, budget and non-negotiable terms before revising documents.

  2. 02

    Check conditions before obligations attach

    Check the counterparty, signing authority, licences, tax, payment and conditions precedent so the agreement does not outrun required approvals.

  3. 03

    Write the exit before problems arise

    Set workable acceptance, default cure, suspension, termination, data return and dispute mechanisms.

Documents to prepare

  • Every version of the draft agreement, offer or term sheet
  • Current company affidavit, shareholder list and signing authority
  • Emails or messages recording the key commercial terms
  • The timetable for approvals, payment, delivery or registration
