338 Election Clause Samples
The 338 Election clause allows certain corporations to elect to have a stock purchase treated as an asset purchase for tax purposes. In practice, this means that when one corporation acquires another, they can choose to step up the tax basis of the acquired company's assets, potentially resulting in greater depreciation or amortization deductions. This clause is primarily used to optimize tax outcomes for the buyer, providing flexibility in structuring transactions and potentially reducing future tax liabilities.
