Testimonials
SATISFIED CLIENTS
Tax residency thank you
Dear Tania and team
I came to learn of my tax issues when I returned to Australia after having been working and living overseas. I had no prior communication with ATO so this matter took me by complete surprise. The internet was my first call and when I saw Waterhouse Lawyers I was immediately struck by their credibility that told me I had come to the right place.
From the very first enquiry Waterhouse Lawyer’s expertise on tax residence, experience and professionalism were simply impressive. Communication with Tania, Keerti and Amanda were focused and kind. With the ATO’s final positive decision all the charges and interests amounting to $107,000 were completely cleared. I am exceedingly grateful to Tania and her team and will gladly recommend Waterhouse Lawyers to anyone with tax issues.
Thank you so very much

Exceptional Service and Tax Knowledge
I believe Tania is a very intelligent and honest person. She has a great sense of intuition and a very commercial approach. She also has a sense of urgency and diplomacy found only in a rare few.
Tania takes a pragmatic approach to solutions. She has a very approachable manner and does not become intimidated by aggressive and complex situations.
I have no hesitation in recommending Tania to anyone needing assistance with their taxation matters.

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.
