Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do if I’ve been notified of an ATO audit?

Don’t ignore it. Get legal advice early. We’ll help you respond properly and reduce the risk of penalties or additional tax debt.

Can I challenge the outcome of an audit?

You can lodge an objection and, if needed, proceed to the AAT or Federal Court. We’ll guide you through the entire appeals process.

What if I owe a tax debt I can’t pay?

We assist clients in negotiating payment arrangements, requesting debt remission, or defending against enforcement action.

Is it worth hiring a lawyer for an ATO dispute?

Absolutely — especially for complex audits or high-value matters. Legal representation improves your chances of a favourable result and protects you from procedural missteps.
