Australia’s complex and evolving tax laws, the ongoing work of the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) tax avoidance task force and the importance of tax compliance, governance and reputation affects organisations across all industries and sectors. Tasked with preparing for, managing, mitigating and resolving tax reviews, reporting requirements, audits and disputes, organisations require a dedicated team of experts and a proactive approach to effectively manage their full breadth of obligations.
Our pre-eminent tax controversy team supports clients through the end-to-end process of preparing for and handling tax reviews, audits, disputes and litigation, helping to manage stakeholders and mitigate the effects for the broader business.
We support all taxpayers, both public and private, including multinationals, large corporations and significant family groups. We represent organisations on both domestic and cross-border tax controversies, strategic mergers and acquisitions and other significant transactions at all stages of the tax disputes lifecycle. This includes the ATO engagement strategy, reviews, audits, preparation for the ATO General Anti-Avoidance Review (GAAR) hearings, objections, appeals, settlement and if necessary, litigation.
Our expertise extends to areas of law including income tax, transfer pricing, international tax, Part IVA/anti avoidance, state taxes, research & development and GST.
We are trusted by our clients and highly regarded for our commercial approach and ability to identify and manage tax risk and scrutiny by the ATO, provide advice on evidence and help to resolve disputes with revenue authorities at the earliest stage possible.
