Tax Advisory

Some tax matters are more complex and require a higher level of specialist expertise. Our Tax Advisory division has in-depth knowledge of tax laws, legislation and interpretations, and can cut through the complexity to deliver good, practical advice for your business.

Who we help

Our Tax Advisory division has experience in providing tax consulting services to all types and sizes of businesses, including:

  • SMEs
  • Family businesses
  • Large corporate taxpayers

 

Our Tax Advisory division is also trusted by many other professional service firms (especially accounting and law firms) who consult us on any specialist tax advice needed by their clients.

Our approach

Every situation is unique. During our initial meetings we will work to understand the underlying facts and objectives. For example, there are usually many different ways to enter into a transaction, and structuring it correctly can result in tax savings of thousands of dollars, if not hundreds of thousands.

Our Tax Advisory experts can propose potential ways to legally minimise your tax obligations. Throughout the process we provide you with clear explanations so you fully understand the advice.

We can also provide assistance with the hands-on implementation of our advice. This may involve working with other professional services advisors, such as law firms to assist in drafting appropriate agreements, or valuers to obtain business valuations as required.
