Our Tax team provides clients with innovative tax structuring, advisory and dispute management services that are independent and cost effective. We assist clients across the full spectrum of tax regimes, including income tax, international tax, thin capitalisation, tax consolidation, capital gains tax, transfer pricing, stamp duty, GST and other Federal and State taxes. We advise on standalone tax issues, as well as part of a multidisciplinary team working on M&A transactions, tax disputes and other major projects.

Our team has been involved in major corporate restructuring, M&A transactions including domestic, inbound and outbound investment, and tax due diligence. We work both as part of the M&A team, or can provide this as an independent advisor in a transaction.

Our specialist tax dispute management and resolution practice has strong credentials in dealing with revenue authorities in taxation disputes, from managing risk reviews, audits, negotiating settlements and appeals in the State and Federal courts, through to the High Court of Australia.

We have the depth of experience and commercial approach to simplify complex legal issues. Our team bring to the table expertise from legal practices and large accounting firms, as well as ongoing participation in industry and tax professional associations where we are invited to participate in consultation and present on current and proposed legislation and rulings.
