What is an ATO dispute?
The ATO is responsible for investigating and enforcing tax law and may take action against you if they believe you’ve violated tax law. This may include reviewing, auditing and investigating your tax affairs to ensure that you have complied with your obligations as well as instigating proceedings against you for non-compliance and tax fraud. However, you may have the right to dispute or appeal ATO decisions.
When it comes to dealing with your tax obligations, it is critical that you get legal advice from an experienced tax lawyer so you can effectively comply with them. If you are in a dispute with the ATO, you should contact our experienced team to get legal advice.
Testimonials
“Tax Disputes: I’m an executive at a multinational corporation. When I sold most of my employee shares, the ATO charged me thousands in interest. Butlers made a request on my behalf for remission of the interest charges, resulting in a recovery of the full amount. I appreciated how the experienced Butlers team kept me informed at all stages of the process. Great result!”
“One of my accounting clients received an incorrect Australian Tax Office decision which amended business and personal tax returns to include previously undisclosed income. I put the client in touch with the Butlers team as I appreciated the complexity of the matter, and knew they were highly experienced in the area. The matter was settled at a conciliation conference, resulting in a significant reduction of the client’s tax liability, penalties and interest. Fantastic result and handling of a complicated matter.”
