Testimonials
SATISFIED CLIENTS
Tania and her team supported me through a really difficult time dealing with the ATO following a long illness. Tania was able to ensure that I was remitted the full amount of general interest charges that had been imposed by the ATO, in circumstances when my initial request for remission had been rejected with seemingly no proper consideration or good reason. The entire team were so supportive throughout. Without her support, I may not have proceeded to push for remission of the charges and, without her knowledge of the ATO and lobbying of relevant persons, I do not have confidence that my case would have been properly considered by the ATO the second time round. My heartfelt thanks to the entire team at Waterhouse Tax Lawyers.
GIC remission success
GIC remission relief
That is such wonderful news about the remission of my GIC.
My tax predicament and trying to sort it all out has been rather worrying. I had managed to get myself in quite a state over it all.
But now light at the end of the tunnel.
I can’t thank you, Tania and your office enough for calmly and reassuringly guiding me through the process.
Thank you for taking on my case and thank you for the result – the sun is shining again.

Dear Tania
I want to thank you for responding so promptly to my request for assistance and thank you so much for assigning Lamees to look after our case.
She has been so very good to work with, I appreciate her skill at listening closely and understanding the specific details very quickly. She has assisted me personally by very gently managing my anxiety over this problem – by staying in touch and updating whenever possible.
We are of course hoping for a good outcome, but regardless of this it is comforting to know that she has a firm grasp of the issue and is dealing with it professionally and with sensitivity.
Kindest Regards
Help with DPN, tax debt
Absolutely fate
Dear Tania
I cannot thank you and your team enough for the work undertaken to have my charges completely withdrawn during recent matters I was facing with the ATO. It was absolute fate that I contacted your office, but it was the best decision I could have made. From the very first phone call, you treated me with kindness and respect, despite the situation I had found myself in.
When one thinks of a Solicitor, it is easy to go straight to the stereotypical movie character with images of someone who is selfish, greedy and rude. But you, Tania, are the epitome of thoughtful, generous and compassionate and I will forever be in your debt for the kind and considered way you supported me from afar.
I highly recommend Waterhouse Lawyers to others who may be facing overwhelming situations regarding tax litigation, although, I hope to never require your services again!
Kindest Regards Tania,
Leisa F.

Mission Impossible Achieved
Tania, You were referred to me after a relentless three year audit of my taxation affairs by the ATO. As well as threatening my means of livelihood, the audit caused enormous personal stress. But you achieved the impossible and liaised with the ATO to obtain an unbelievable result. I am so grateful to you.
As a result of your fantastic efforts I am now free to get on with my life. Thank you so much.
