Testimonials

SATISFIED CLIENTS

Big thank you from a happy yachtie

Dear Tania,

Well I would just like to thank you the hard work you applied in my case of non residency for tax purposes. Your background knowledge and experience in previous cases with yacht crew is clearly evident when dealing with Waterhouse.

The kind assistance throughout the ordeal was professional and courteous and was consistently kept up to date from start to finish, I will definitely recommend your firm to my fellow colleagues in the yachting industry!!!

Stuart E—July 2018

Excellent outcome

We are most appreciative of all your counsel and hard work on this matter.

It has been delightful working with you, and congratulations to you and your team for securing this excellent outcome for us.

Andrew H—June 2016

Frustrated with the ATO one size fits all approach and the original law firm that I chose’s approach to not wanting to upset the ATO, I came to Waterhouse on recommendation.
Lucky for me, Tania and Charm were in the job the next day, grab all the information, dissected it, got to the central issue and started work in a proactive and informative manner.
Told immediately that if the case had no merit they would look to settle or take a stronger proactive stance.
It took some time and work, but success followed and very grateful to Tania and Charm.
Thank you

Grateful to Tania and Charm

Hi Michael,

Thank you so much.

I do not think we would get the outcome as good as this without your help.

I would definitely put 5 stars google reviews for you😊

Kind regards

Jane

Thank you for the great outcome Michael Cranston

When I was audited by the ATOI was given the wrong advice by my legal and accounting advisers. I was therefore left with a very unfavourable outcome and I had to object

I engaged the team at Waterhouse Lawyers for my audit objection and they were able to successfully reverse some very poor ATO decisions. I wish I had contacted Tania and team as soon as I received the original audit notice rather than trying to deal with the matter myself.

Unfortunately due to the original advice I had, the matter then progressed to something of a very serious nature. I contacted Tania and she very quickly returned my call and was able to give me advice at a time that was terrifying for me personally.
