Objecting to ATO decisions

Preparing an objection to a tax, GST or penalty assessment or some other ATO decision is not easy. The consequences of getting it wrong can severely compromise your legal position and might limit the arguments that are available to you. Our tax lawyers have worked at the ATO where they determined tax objections. They know: • which arguments are more likely to be accepted and which are likely to fail • the evidence required to satisfy the “burden of proof” that taxpayers face • how to craft a persuasive and correct legal argument to maximise your chances of receiving the correct decision in relation to your tax dispute
