1. ATO Prosecutions – Failure To Lodge Tax Returns
  • Being charged with a tax related criminal offence can be a stressful and confusing time, therefore it is important to get legal advice from one of our taxation experts who are up to date with the law and possess the necessary skills and experience to obtain the best outcome.
  • We regularly represent clients at the Magistrate and District Courts who are being prosecuted by the ATO for failing to lodge their tax returns.
  • A prosecution for failure to lodge a tax return is a strict liability offence. This means that the only course of action is to plead guilty; however, in appropriate circumstances, we have been very successful in obtaining a section 19B order i.e no conviction recorded.
  • Fort Knox Legal is uniquely placed to help our clients through a tax audit by the ATO. An intensive tax audit by the ATO can take 2-3 years and cost the taxpayer significant amounts in lost revenue, particular SMEs, due to attending to the time consuming requirements of the audit. Not to mention the high level of stress and anxiety caused by the audit.
  • We are able to assist in ensuring the audit runs smoothly, with the best result achieved in the shortest amount of time possible for our client.
  • We have the knowledge and expertise to represent you at all levels in your taxation dispute – AAT, Federal Court and High Court.
  • If you have been unsuccessful in obtaining a favourable outcome to a taxation objection decision, the next legal avenue available to you is to seek an administrative review at the AAT.
  • Fort Knox Legal has the necessary experience to represent you in court.

    • Our tax advisory team has extensive experience in advising corporate and commercial clients in relation to:

  • Creating tax effective structures and transactions;
  • Trust structures;
  • Income tax and capital gains tax;
  • GST; and
  • Land tax.

    • We provide advice on:

  • duty issues, relevant business structures and transactions;
  • exemptions to the payment of transfer duty;
  • buyers of residential and commercial property in relation to their GST and transfer duty liabilities; and
  • all types of businesses, including small, medium and large businesses, public and private companies and not-for-profit organisations.
  • Superannuation is an area that is rapidly evolving, with legislative changes and reforms being introduced by the Government on a continual basis.
  • Fort Knox Legal's superannuation experts can help you navigate your way through the complex rules and regulations that govern this area. We help individuals implement and maintain effective superannuation investment strategies and advise on regulatory and taxation issues including investment restrictions, contribution strategies and excess contributions assessments.
