Depending on the nature of the restructuring, employee consent may not always be required. However, it is important to comply with employment law, consult with employees, and handle any redundancies or transfers fairly and lawfully.

What are the tax implications of company restructuring?

Company restructuring can have significant tax implications, such as capital gains tax, stamp duty, VAT, or corporation tax. It is essential to consult with a tax specialist to ensure compliance and optimize tax efficiency.
