Tax Debt - Waterhouse Lawyers - Tax Law Specialists

Tax Debt

Waterhouse Lawyers are experts at dealing with tax debt, particularly when the ATO has garnisheed a taxpayer’s bank accounts or is threatening bankruptcy.

We are generally able to arrange payment plans in even the most dire financial circumstances. In many instances we have successfully applied for reduction of the General Interest Charge.

The ATO is dramatically increasing its use of tax garnishee notices. Under a garnishee notice, the ATO can recover monies from third parties such as banks and employers.

Where the ATO has issued a garnishee notice, we can assist by ensuring the notice has been validly issued and, if so, negotiating the best possible outcome with the ATO for your tax debt.

Compassion & understanding

Tania, again I want to thank you not just for your outstanding advice but also your compassion and understanding towards the whole situation. What you do is change people’s lives for the better in many ways.

Thanks soooo very much again.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts: tax debt

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.

Jack C—August 2016

Thank you very much for helping us through the difficult period during the first half of this year. Michael’s proposal for a settlement with the ATO was fair, practical, and highly effective.

We are very pleased with the outcome — it allows us to refocus on our business and continue contributing more tax to the ATO.

A true win-win-win for all parties.

Thank you for arranging settlement with ATO

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
