Tax & Revenue
Maddocks' Tax & Revenue team advises a wide range of clients on tax issues relevant to their personal and business needs. Highly regarded for their ability to provide practical strategic advice, the team regularly acts for accountants, financial advisers, individual tax-payers and the executives of Australian, and multinational, companies.
Members of the team have wide-ranging experience, gained from working in the larger accounting firms and the Australian Taxation Office, along with legal and accounting qualifications including post-graduate tax qualifications.
Results driven
The outcomes achieved for clients, and the reason clients continue to rely on Maddocks for tax advice, turn on three key strengths:
- a thorough understanding of each client's commercial objectives
- a strong technical knowledge of the law
- an ability to provide practical solutions which add real value
The advice we provide is not simply about optimising a particular tax result. We strive to achieve solutions that are both tax efficient and commercially acceptable. In achieving this result, the Tax & Revenue team often also works closely with both the Tax Disputes and Superannuation teams.
Industry knowledge
The team acts for clients across a variety of industries, including construction, manufacturing, property and retail. It therefore understands the tax issues regularly faced by clients and the commercial parameters within which they operate.
