ATO audits, reviews & disputes

An ATO letter is unsettling, and the instinct is either to respond immediately or to put it in a drawer. Both are wrong. What you say in the first response shapes everything that follows, and there is usually more room to move than people assume, particularly if you come forward before the ATO finds it.

What’s included

• Review of the ATO's letter, the information request and the real scope of the enquiry
• A response strategy before anything is sent
• Position papers and technical submissions
• Voluntary disclosures where there's an exposure to get in front of
• Division 7A reconstruction, complying loan agreements and remediation
• Substantiation packs for income, deductions, related-party loans and business structure
• Payment arrangements and remission of general interest charge and penalties
• Objections and, where warranted, referral to counsel for AAT or Federal Court

General information only. Outcomes depend on the facts of each matter and the ATO's assessment.
