INTRODUCTION

In the event that 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. In the event that 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 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 Administrative Decisions Tribunal or the NSW Supreme Court.

OTHER MATTERS

There are time limits associated with making decisions to refer or appeal an unfavourable tax decision and the burden usually rests on an aggrieved taxpayer.

In the event that a tax dispute escalates by way of a reference to a tribunal or an appeal to a court we can assist in the compiling of evidence to support the taxpayer's position.

We can also assist in negotiating a resolution for a claim, in respect of any taxes said to be payable, (notwithstanding the merits of the dispute remain outstanding).
