Tax Controversy – Grant Thornton Legal

Grant Thornton Australia is the only Australian accounting and advisory firm, outside of the Big 4, able to provide clients with a Tax Controversy service.

The ATO is more closely monitoring companies’ tax compliance and governance processes and this,  coupled with an increased focus on mitigating risk and new governance approaches, means having access to specialist Tax Controversy advisors is essential to a successful tax risk mitigation strategy. 

Engaging an expert in Tax Controversy at the earliest possible time is key to a successful outcome.
Engaging Grant Thornton Legal provides our clients the protection of client legal privilege on all advice – even before a dispute arises.  This allows us to work with you to tailor a confidential solution which delivers value and benefit. 

Our team are experienced in assisting both corporate and high wealth individual clients to manage their relationships with revenue authorities, resolve tax issues and manage their tax risks within corporate governance frameworks.  We are experts in managing tax disputes of all types and sizes, no matter how complex, from an initial risk review through to settlement or litigation.

Our Tax Controversy services include:

• managing tax dispute resolution and litigation
• provision of legal (tax) advice to obtain client legal privilege (covering all Commonwealth and State taxes as well as customs duties)
• drafting and reviewing of documents
