| Abstract: | Tax attributes of target firms are significant in explaining the abnormal returns to shareholder of both target and acquiring firms following acquisition announcements. The most prominent tax attribute in tax-free acquisitions is the amount of net operating loss carry forwards and tax credits due to expire. The most important tax attribute in taxable acquisitions is the step-up in the acquired asset's basis. Tax considerations motive acquisitions. Specifically, obtaining tax-free status for the proposed acquisition increases its likelihood of competition. Suggestions for further research are also provided. |
