Tax

About

Provided by McCullough Robertson

With one of the largest taxation groups of any law firm in Australia, the firm regularly assists with tax audits and with related settlement negotiations with the Australian Taxation Office and State revenue authorities. McCullough Robertson acts for clients across Australia and has the expertise to provide tax advice on restructures, mergers and acquisitions, and on debt and equity fundraisings.

Its taxation group has acted for clients in tax cases before the State and Federal Tribunals and Courts. They act for a wide range of clients from listed company groups, private groups to high wealth individuals. They also provide dedicated taxation advice to a large number of accountants, lawyers and financial planners.

A number of the firm's taxation lawyers are dual qualified as Chartered Accountants – allowing them to be as comprehensive as possible in their advice, which brings an added dimension to the assistance they can provide.

Having such a high number of qualified specialist tax lawyers to leverage expertise allows for deep specialisation, including in industry sectors such as resources, property and retirement villages, private client and M&A.

The firm also has a successful and growing tax controversy practice with high profile successes in the State Supreme Courts, Federal Court and High Court with multiple appearances on behalf of clients at the Australian Taxation Office’s (ATO) General Anti-Avoidance Rule Panel.
