While a surge in last-minute sales before the tax increase is expected in 2026, rushing to sell comes with significant risks and drawbacks. In this video, certified public accountant and tax accountant Kohata thoroughly explains the key points of the new tax system starting in 2027, as well as "six pitfalls" to avoid in 2026 M&A transactions and how to address them. ■ How will M&A taxes change from 2027? The current tax system until 2026 and the new tax system from 2027 onwards could result in a change of hundreds of millions of yen in the amount of remaining cash. Tax increase threshold: Capital gains will be significantly reduced from the current level of approximately 1 billion yen to approximately 330 million yen (estimated selling price: 350 million yen). Tax rate after the tax increase: A high tax rate of approximately 35.6% will be imposed on any amount exceeding the threshold. Deadline definition: Ownership of the shares must be legally transferred to the buyer (the sale must be completed) by December 31, 2026. ■ Six Pitfalls of M&A in 2026 Unique risks that are unlikely to arise in typical M&A deals arise before the tax increase. Buyer capacity overload: A sudden increase in sales projects could cause buyers to be overwhelmed and your company to be overwhelmed. Lack of competent staff: The capacity of skilled brokers and agent advisors will quickly fill up, raising the risk of being assigned to less experienced staff. Scheduling Mistakes: There's a risk that complex procedures like company splits and irregular responses won't be completed in time for the end of the year. Being Taken Advantage of in Negotiations: You risk being forced to accept unfavorable terms when sellers rush to close the deal by the end of the year. Deteriorating Document Quality: Lack of preparation time leads to a flood of sparse documents, which could result in the company's value not being properly conveyed. Return of Vampire M&A: Impatience can lead to buyers becoming less cautious, leading to the risk of becoming embroiled in a fraudulent takeover scam. ■ Two Countermeasures to Avoid Failure Start as Early as Possible: Ideally, you should get started by April 2026 at the latest. If you're starting after July, don't try to force a deadline by the end of the year. Selling at a higher price in 2027 is likely to increase your remaining balance. Allow Multiple Buyers to Compete: This is an essential strategy to prevent buyers from extending the schedule and ensure backup.
