Taxation

Advising a broad range of clients from individuals and large corporate groups to superannuation funds and financial institutions, Gadens’ Tax Team has specialist knowledge across all aspects of tax law and the way in which the various taxes interact.

Against this background, we are able to guide clients to the best possible tax outcomes and to work with other legal and accounting teams to ensure that the tax outcomes fit within our clients’ overall objectives. With years of experience providing accurate, commercially-astute and innovative legal solutions, we are committed to being agile and responsive to meet the needs of our clients efficiently and cost effectively.

Our many years of experience from both a legal and commercial perspective ensure our clients are well positioned to take advantage of opportunities while complying with their legal and regulatory obligations. We regularly advise in relation to corporate and personal income tax, international tax aspects, taxation of trusts, charities and not-for-profits, superannuation and the superannuation guarantee charge, employee share schemes, capital gains tax, goods and services tax (GST), fringe benefits tax, PAYG, stamp duty, pay-roll tax, land tax, and withholding tax.

By staying abreast of changes in both federal and state tax legislation and policy, Gadens’ Tax Controversy & Disputes Team is well-placed to help both individuals and organisations prevent, manage and resolve any tax controversy matters. Our objective is to get the best outcome for every client, every time – whether that be negotiated arrangements, settlement or litigation. We understand the way in which the various types of taxes interact, and against this background we are able to guide and advise clients on the best possible outcome within their overall objectives.

Having worked closely with the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) for a number of years, we are aware of and understand how the ATO approach matters. This understanding, combined with our technical knowledge and experience in the areas of tax law and disputes, ensures that we are best placed to help organisations prevent, manage and resolve any tax controversy matters. It also means we can ensure that only those cases with a real chance of success are litigated.
