About Me

History

I have dealt with all manner tax disputes from every professional angle.
I have had a long association with Tax Disputes and Tax Litigation since being admitted to practice in 1983.
I worked for several years in the ATO as an auditor and legal adviser to the ATO's debt management area.

I worked at the Australian Government Solicitor as a Senior Solicitor including leading the AGS Tax Recovery team, and in the Tax Appeals team where I conducted review litigation on behalf of the ATO. I also practiced in Administrative Law and Freedom of Information especially in the context of the Commissioner's access powers and ATO administration.

I later worked in PwCLegal's Tax Disputes practice in which I advised corporate clients and represented them in their dealings with the ATO and in Tax litigation.
Later still I worked in Maddocks Tax Disputes practise advising clients and representing them in their dealings with the ATO.

Work

I have regularly advised clients undergoing Risk Review and Audit. Issues I have dealt with include transfer pricing and claims of tax avoidance.

Approach

You can expect me to a realistic appraisal of your position and what be achieved through the review and audit process.
I will aim  to put your position persuasively to the ATO. As much as possible I will try to keep the dispute becoming a distraction from your business, and manage it so that it does not drag on, costing you more money and needlessly straying into other lines of inquiry.
Over the years I have found that often clients, accountants and lawyers are surprised when they fail to persuade the ATO that their position is correct.

I will present your case as persuasively as possible. I can’t predict an outcome but I will always aim to get the best result that the law and the circumstances allow.
