Tax Debt

Next Service >< Previous Service

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.

Wish we had found you earlier

Thank you so much for your help. I just wish we had found you two years ago when we first starting having problems with the Tax Office.

Hi Lamees,

Thank you for helping to get our GIC remitted on our tax debt. What a successful outcome.

You have been wonderfully helpful and empathetic through this whole stressful tax debt process. I really don’t know how we would have managed without you!

Mission Impossible Achieved

Tania, You were referred to me after a relentless three year audit of my taxation affairs by the ATO. As well as threatening my means of livelihood, the audit caused enormous personal stress. But you achieved the impossible and liaised with the ATO to obtain an unbelievable result. I am so grateful to you.

As a result of your fantastic efforts I am now free to get on with my life. Thank you so much.
