Testimonials

SATISFIED CLIENTS

I highly recommend Waterhouse Tax Lawyers to anyone who has an issue with the ATO. The team were all fantastic and particularly Tania Waterhouse – she is a life saver! My wife and I had what we perceived to be a huge problem with our SMSF – after speaking to Tania we engaged her to take over and communicate with the ATO on our behalf and the end result was way beyond our hopes. We can’t thank you enough Tania – you have made our year! Best wishes and eternal thanks from Tony and Alison.

Tania Waterhouse – she is a life saver!

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts: tax debt

In a time filled with emotional and stressful challenges, seeking advice from Tania Waterhouse was the best decision I could have made. Her guidance provided me with the clarity and confidence needed to navigate through my issues. She has a remarkable ability to ease one’s mind with her expertise and genuine support. I highly recommend Waterhouse Lawyers for anyone in need of legal guidance.

Very fortunate to find her

Tania, thank you sincerely for the result you have achieved with the ATO who carried out an audit on my 2002 return (in 2014!). This was an incredibly stressful time with no records, living in another country and an accountant who was very unhelpful.

You have achieved an amazing result, one which I could not have achieved without your professional help. My final ATO account was a mere 1.3% of the original ATO invoice. Now I can resume a normal life.

Sincerely,

Jasmine

Chapeau! as they say in French thank you


Dear Tania,

From my first contact with yourself and your firm, I knew I had contacted the right people to assist me in reviewing an ATO audit decision. How did I know that? I strongly felt that I would comfortably accept whatever outcome it may be, even if it was not the best, feeling confident that you and your team of experts would provide the best possible advice and chance to resolve the matter. Furthermore I also felt that you and your team do care about their clients and was impressed by your commitment. Was I right? Yes I was, your team achieved the best outcome that could have been expected: a win!

Dear Keerti,
Your dedication to resolving my taxation matter in the best possible way (“fighting tooth and nail” as you said) was remarkable and to say the least very much appreciated. You were approachable and always available for comments or explanations. Although it can be challenging, you were soon familiar with all the details of the evidence. Above all you were able to secure a win. I would have no hesitation whatsoever to recommend you.

Chapeau! as we say in my native French as a mark of gratitude and respect.

Best regards,

Didier
