Testimonials
SATISFIED CLIENTS
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.

Successful residency objection – grateful to Waterhouse Lawyers
What a relief! I am thrilled with the ATO residency decision that I was a non-resident when I was working overseas.
And have you to thank for the amazing support, care and professionalism in every aspect of my case.
I have no doubt I have chosen the right lawyer for my needs and am very grateful for your expertise and diligence.

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.
Lourdes W—July 2018
Hi Lamees,
Thank you for helping to get our GIC remitted on our tax debt. What a successful outcome.
You have been wonderfully helpful and empathetic through this whole stressful tax debt process. I really don’t know how we would have managed without you!
Kindest Regards
Joan

Thank you Lamees for helping with the tax debt GIC remission
