Perspective. Preparation. Purpose.
01 / An informed starting pointUnderstand your position.
Understand your position.
Plan the next step.
An effective response to a tax issue begins with the actual notice, relevant tax period, records and applicable procedural options. We focus on understanding what the authority is asking, what has already been filed and which next steps should be discussed with the client’s tax adviser or accountant.
Case-specific advice
The right approach depends on your documents, circumstances and the relevant legal process. An initial enquiry does not establish a lawyer-client relationship.
02 / Scope of work
Matters we can discuss.
The examples below explain the kinds of questions that may arise. The firm will confirm whether it can accept a particular matter after reviewing the facts.
Assessments and disputes
Considering documents, procedural position and possible routes for contesting an assessment.
Appeals and representations
Discussing available appeal processes, relevant orders and filing timelines.
Income tax matters
Guidance on legal questions arising from income tax proceedings and documentation.
Sales tax matters
Assessing correspondence, record requests and procedural disputes related to sales tax.
Business tax coordination
Working through the legal issues alongside information from the client’s finance team or accountant.
03 / Before we meetGood preparation
Good preparation
makes the difference.
We review the notice and dates first, then identify the records needed and discuss the response or challenge process. Where financial calculations are required, we may ask the client to coordinate with a qualified tax professional.
