Taxation Law

Our principal, Andrew Baggio, has practised tax law for over a decade in Australia, the United Kingdom and Hong Kong.

Before practising as a tax lawyer, Andrew worked with an international accounting firm as a tax accountant.

Our advice is particularly well regarded by the accounting profession for its simplification of complex issues, practical application and our preference for plain English over legal jargon.

We regularly advise accountants, financial planners, SME’s, superannuation funds and high net worth individuals in the following areas:

• Business structuring & restructuring
• Capital gains tax
• GST
• Employment taxation
• Employee share schemes
• Income tax
• Indirect taxes
• International taxation
• Stamp duty and other state taxation
• Superannuation
• Trusts

We have extensive experience in advising clients on the most appropriate structure for their business and personal ventures bearing in mind, among other things, capital gains tax, income tax, stamp duty and asset protection considerations.

Unlike many tax lawyers, we are also very experienced in the preparation and negotiation (with financiers and counterparties) of commercial documentation in order to implement such ventures. Our Documentation Service (see Documentation Service) ensures complete integration with respect to this practice area.
