Testimonials
SATISFIED CLIENTS
Glad I found you – undisclosed foreign income
Thanks Tania. Really appreciate how you have listed out the issues and what we need to do as next steps. Glad I found you.

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

So very Grateful. Five Star Service in tax matter
After 13 years of not being aware of it, the ATO advised me of an issue… a financially crippling, life changing kind of issue. Their timing was exceptional, with massive cutbacks at work, my employment future was uncertain, and a wife currently going through IVF the additional stress was almost unbearable.
I spent almost 6 months attempting to obtain the information I needed from the ATO with very little success.
In desperation I contacted Tania, and within a day of engaging her services she had cut to the core of the problem, obtained the information I had not been able to and explained clearly to me what the situation was. Within a week she had investigated the options available to me, identified a recommended course of action and put me contact with the relevant people to assist.
Tania was extremely professional and empathetic, kept me updated constantly on her progress and achieved a favourable outcome. My wife and I are so very grateful and it is an enormous relief to be able to put this behind us.
I would highly recommend Tania to anyone having tax issues of any kind.

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
