Practice Areas
As a specialist indirect tax lawyer, Rhys assists private sector and government clients to achieve optimal GST outcomes on new commercial and residential developments, major infrastructure projects and international mergers and acquisitions.
Rhys brings a balanced, solutions-focused mindset – GST can be an enabler of transactions instead of serving as a roadblock.
Rhys is proud to have worked with many of his clients for more than 15 years. His experience ranges from appearing before the High Court to conducting site visits wearing gumboots and a hard hat – because understanding his clients’ business helps Rhys provide the best service.
Rhys has been recognised as a leading tax lawyer and customs and excise lawyer by Best Lawyers since 2010 and as a leading tax lawyer by Chambers Asia-Pacific since 2014. As a member of the Property Council of Australia’s GST Committee and the Law Council of Australia’s Tax Subcommittee, he is often asked to consult on prospective Australian Taxation Office positions, and have the opportunity to represent his clients’ views on policy issues before decisions are made.
