Tax Dispute Resolution

If you are selected for an ATO, or state tax, audit and adverse findings arise from the audit we can assist in resolving the dispute, in the event that you disagree with any adverse findings made by the tax auditor.

We can either negotiate a resolution by defining the issue(s) in dispute and managing the negotiation process on your behalf or, in the alternative, provide further professional assistance in any contested dispute.

FEDERAL TAX DISPUTES

We can further advance your case by preparing Notices of Objection under Part IVC of the Taxation Administration Act, 1953. If any Notice(s) of Objection is disallowed on review we can help by advising you on whether or not such decisions should be referred to the Administrative Review Tribunal (previously Administrative Appeals Tribunal) or the Federal Court of Australia.

STATE TAX DISPUTES

In the event that a Notice of Objection is lodged against a NSW state tax assessment we can advise you on whether or not a decision, disallowing such an objection, should be referred to the NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal or the NSW Supreme Court.

STRATEGIC SUPPORT AND EVIDENCE PREPARATION

Time limits apply to lodging objections and appealing decisions. We ensure your matter is managed within the required timeframes, and we assist in:

• Compiling supporting evidence and documentation
• Evaluating legal and commercial options
• Negotiating settlements where appropriate – even if the substantive dispute remains unresolved

At Richard A Bobb, we understand that tax disputes can be both stressful and costly. Our goal is to deliver strategic, practical, and efficient resolution pathways for every client.
