MWA Lawyers provide a range of taxation services to assist clients. Our services are tailored to meet the needs of commercial clients. These include advice and assistance including in relation to:

• Capital Gains Tax (CGT);
• CGT Small Business Exemptions/Concessions;
• Income Tax;
• Goods and Services Tax (GST);
• State Payroll Taxes (as imposed across Australia) (Payroll Tax);
• State Land Taxes (as imposed across Australia) (Land Tax); and
• State stamp duties (as imposed across Australia) (Stamp Duty).

We also provide objection and appeals services in relation to assessments received concerning all Commonwealth and State taxes, including appeals to relevant Commonwealth and State Tribunals, and the Federal Courts and State Supreme Courts.

No matter what commercial transaction is being contemplated, invariably there will be a tax consideration. When engaging a lawyer to assist with any transaction, it is vital the lawyer has an inherent understanding of the taxation issues. MWA lawyers has both the skills, experience and commercial understanding to be able to effectively assist in these matters.

Even where we have not been specifically asked to provide underling taxation advice, we often work with existing taxation advisers (usually the business external accountant) to ensure the desired objectives of any proposed transaction are achieved and any adverse consequences are identified and addressed before the transaction complexities.

In the end, it is about ensuring:

• the right outcome within the limits of the tax law; and
• any risks are clearly understood and addressed before they become a major problem.
