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.

Speedy, Efficient, Friendly

My experience with Tania has been nothing short of awesome. Her expertise, her experience, her speedy work, and her cheery and pragmatic approach has been instrumental in giving us the direction we needed with our case. Tania is a superstar and we love working with her.

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.

Thanks for ATO tax advice

Dear Tania, thanks for your help. You have been instrumental in keeping my spirits high these past few weeks as the ATO enquiry was one of many issues I had to deal with at present.

When it comes to tax correspondence and official dealings with the ATO the usual anecdote is always to seek expert advice, but advice given is only one part of the story. The personable approach, understanding of your clients’ pain points and delivering on that developed empathy is many times more valuable in effect than perhaps the advice itself.

You aced that approach when dealing with my situation, understood my story and went far beyond the mile or service benchmark that I would normally expect any professional consultant would go to.

So, in that regards, I unreservedly am happy to recommend you to any contact I know who wants to get the right advice and in a way that he or she are also satisfied with the interaction.

Bob W—February 2019

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.
