How it works?

Get in touch

We know that taxation authorities and taxpayers do not always see eye to eye, which is why we listen to understand how we can help you.

Call us on (02) 8287 3118 or email us at enquiries@axelegal.com.au and we’ll take time to consider your situation so that we can determine the best course of action and next steps.

During our initial consultation, we’ll provide you with our recommendation and an estimate for our services.

We review your tax debt

Having a tax debt with a tax authority can be quite stressful, especially when you’ve been charged interest and penalties.

We gather all the important information needed to assess the circumstances that brought rise to your tax debt, and provide you with advice as to the prospects of applying to reduce the tax debt and remit interest and penalties.

We apply to reduce your tax debt

Based on our thorough understanding of your situation and goals, we’ll either object to the assessment or apply to have your debt released or reduced.

We have an impeccable track record in applying to have interest and penalties remitted and/or negotiating repayment of the tax debt so you can avoid legal or debt recovery action.

Why respond to a tax debt?

Tax Verification

Responding to a tax debt allows you to verify the accuracy of the tax assessment, ensuring that you are only obligated to pay the correct amount in accordance with applicable tax laws and regulations.

Tax Debt Reduction

By engaging with tax authorities, we have the opportunity to negotiate and potentially reduce your tax debt through the correction of facts, identification of errors, and application of defences.

Interest & Penalty Remission

Timely response to a tax debt can lead to the possibility of having interest and penalties remitted or reduced, providing relief from additional financial burdens associated with delayed payment or non-compliance.

Flexible Payment Terms

Addressing a tax debt offers the opportunity to negotiate flexible payment arrangements, including installment plans or compromise agreements, allowing you to manage your financial obligations effectively.
