Testimonials
SATISFIED CLIENTS
Thanks for ATO tax advice
Dear Tania, thanks for your help. You have been instrumental in keeping my spirits high these past few weeks as the ATO enquiry was one of many issues I had to deal with at present.
When it comes to tax correspondence and official dealings with the ATO the usual anecdote is always to seek expert advice, but advice given is only one part of the story. The personable approach, understanding of your clients’ pain points and delivering on that developed empathy is many times more valuable in effect than perhaps the advice itself.
You aced that approach when dealing with my situation, understood my story and went far beyond the mile or service benchmark that I would normally expect any professional consultant would go to.
So, in that regards, I unreservedly am happy to recommend you to any contact I know who wants to get the right advice and in a way that he or she are also satisfied with the interaction.
Bob W—February 2019
I highly recommend Waterhouse Tax Lawyers to anyone who has an issue with the ATO. The team were all fantastic and particularly Tania Waterhouse – she is a life saver! My wife and I had what we perceived to be a huge problem with our SMSF – after speaking to Tania we engaged her to take over and communicate with the ATO on our behalf and the end result was way beyond our hopes. We can’t thank you enough Tania – you have made our year! Best wishes and eternal thanks from Tony and Alison.
Tania Waterhouse – she is a life saver!
Thank you for ATO tax help
We would like to thank Tania and her team for helping us through a very difficult challenge that we had with the ATO. Through her knowledge and patience we had a successful outcome and are able to continue with our business.
We have learnt a very valuable lesson: don’t mess with the ATO and if you need help don’t put it off ,get in touch with Tania and she will do her utmost to help sort it out
Very kind regards

Saving my life and company
Hello Tania,
I hope this note finds you well.
You may or may not recall our case.
I will keep this short, as I can imagine you are very busy, but wanted to update you of the outcome. After you went into bat for me against the ATO in 2018, due to them issuing a garnishee over the company leaving me nowhere to go.
With your persistence we reached an agreement…saving my life and my company!
In our last conversation you asked me to let you know how we ended up and told me “show them that we would make it”!
Today I am emailing you with an enormous smile on my face…our ATO Super Guarantee Account debt was finalised in August, 2020 and today we received the attached statement from the ATO…as of 8th December, 2020 this is also finalised.
It has not been an easy journey, especially with the additional challenges of COVID…but we survived!
Thankyou Tania from the bottom of my heart, as without you I would not be sitting here typing this email.
May I wish you, your family and colleagues a very Merry Christmas and a safe New Year.
Warm Regards,
Trisha F
