Tax Authority accuses CA Israel of undervaluing cybersecurity assets sold internally in 2010.
The Israeli Tax Authority is demanding an additional tax payment from CA Israel, a subsidiary of CA Technologies, which was acquired by Broadcom. The dispute involves the alleged underreporting of the value of a cybersecurity business sold nearly 15 years ago. The Tax Authority claims CA Israel reported the value at 111 million shekels instead of the estimated 667 million shekels. This has resulted in a tax liability of approximately 250 million shekels. CA Israel has challenged the assessment in the Israeli Supreme Court. The case highlights issues of valuation and tax liability in transactions between related parties.
With AI advancements falling short, Intel's future may lie in a breakup, with two major players eyeing parts of the company.
Intel, once a leader in the chip industry, is facing potential break-up as two major players, TSMC and Broadcom, are eyeing parts of its operations. TSMC is interested in acquiring Intels manufacturing operations, while Broadcom is looking at its chip design and marketing units. The deals are still in preliminary stages, but if they proceed, Intel may cease to exist as an independent company. This comes amid Intels struggles to compete in the AI processor market and its failure to capitalize on the mobile revolution. The potential acquisitions could lead to layoffs and operational changes, particularly in Intels significant Israeli operations.

The potential deals could dismantle Intel’s long-standing integrated model, reshaping the semiconductor industry.
Intel is reportedly in discussions to sell its chip design and marketing operations to Broadcom, while its manufacturing division might be acquired by TSMC. These potential deals could dismantle Intels integrated model, marking a significant shift in the semiconductor industry. The discussions are still preliminary, with no formal offers made. Intels interim executive chairman, Frank Yeary, is leading the talks, aiming to maximize shareholder value. The company has faced challenges, including a 60% drop in share value last year and a 15% workforce reduction, due to its capital-intensive manufacturing strategy. The potential breakup could align Intel with companies like Nvidia and TSMC, focusing on either development or manufacturing.

With deadline looming, Broadcom tries to push $61B VMware deal over finish line | TechCrunch
Broadcoms $61 billion acquisition of VMware, announced in May 2022, is facing a potential hurdle from Chinese regulators.
