This is from a description of a presentation given at a conference held by a large German corporation that offers audit, tax and advisory services. There’s nothing else in the text that would shed some light on the term. Tax trap? In relation to negotiation tactics or to acquisitions in insolvency scenarios? A Fallstricke is a snare or trap.
Herr X stellte die steuerlichen und rechtlichen Rahmenbedingungen beim Kauf aus der Insolvenz dar. Anschließend veranschaulichte Herr Y die steuerlichen Fallstricke sowie Besonderheiten bei der Verhandlungstaktik an Praxisfällen.

fiscal booby traps
My first thought:
fiscal = anything to do with taxation and finance,
booby trap = something that looks to be rather innocent but can cause a lot of damage if heed is not properly paid.
But would it fit in with the general tone of the paper?

Birgit Gläser
: Love the booby traps, but not really suitable here as booby traps are set up intentionally to blow someone up

Not always, though that is their usual application! The bucket of water balanced between door and door frame to upset the teacher (schoolboy and cartoon gags) is also a booby trap, isn`t it?

Fallstricke
Die "Fallstricke" (pitfalls?) beziehen sich wohl auf den Zeitpunkt des Erwerbs, da der Käufer u.U. Gefahr läuft, f. die steuerlichen Verpflichtungen des aufgekauften Unternehmens in Anspruch genommen zu werden.
"Vor der formellen Eröffnung eines Insolvenzverfahrens bestehen somit steuerrechtliche Gefahren, so dass vor dem Erwerb von Vermögensgegenständen einer Unternehmung vor diesem Zeitpunkt nur gewarnt werden kann."
