Court hearing for failure to lodge tax returns less daunting
HI Tania,
Whilst daunting, your assistance and representation at the hearing for my failure to lodge tax returns made it possible, and easier than anticipated.
I didn’t realize how much it was weighing on me until I decided to take my first afternoon off in over 20 years (apart from illness) and have just woken up…
Looking around the courtroom I feel for some of those people in a similar position who had no representation

In-depth knowledge of tax residency and other tax issues
Dear Tania,
Just want to say a big thank you, coming from a financial background myself, I was so impressed by your in-depth knowledge on tax residency and other tax issues, these are areas I often find that lots of accountants don’t even have an answer for, you are so knowledgeable, helpful, and really put my mind at ease.

Very fortunate to find her
Tania, thank you sincerely for the result you have achieved with the ATO who carried out an audit on my 2002 return (in 2014!). This was an incredibly stressful time with no records, living in another country and an accountant who was very unhelpful.
You have achieved an amazing result, one which I could not have achieved without your professional help. My final ATO account was a mere 1.3% of the original ATO invoice. Now I can resume a normal life.
Sincerely,
Jasmine

So very Grateful. Five Star Service in tax matter
After 13 years of not being aware of it, the ATO advised me of an issue… a financially crippling, life changing kind of issue. Their timing was exceptional, with massive cutbacks at work, my employment future was uncertain, and a wife currently going through IVF the additional stress was almost unbearable.
I spent almost 6 months attempting to obtain the information I needed from the ATO with very little success.
In desperation I contacted Tania, and within a day of engaging her services she had cut to the core of the problem, obtained the information I had not been able to and explained clearly to me what the situation was. Within a week she had investigated the options available to me, identified a recommended course of action and put me contact with the relevant people to assist.
Tania was extremely professional and empathetic, kept me updated constantly on her progress and achieved a favourable outcome. My wife and I are so very grateful and it is an enormous relief to be able to put this behind us.
I would highly recommend Tania to anyone having tax issues of any kind.

Thank you
My kids, my wife and I, cannot thank you enough.
When we thought we had lost everything you gave us hope.
You are a kind, humble and competent lawyer.
You have such amazing caring quality, so honest and such a fighter.
We will never be able to repay you.
