Experience you can count on
Corporate clients involved in all types of transactions and circumstances (including mergers and acquisitions, restructuring, capital management, investments and divestments) depend on us to provide solutions to their problems rather than just answers to their questions. They trust us to identify tax solutions that can work within the relevant commercial parameters.
Our specialists draw on a sound knowledge of property, contract, corporate, trust and information technology law to achieve commercially viable solutions. We have been involved in some of the most innovative financing transactions in Australia. Our structured finance specialties include securitisation, infrastructure and project financing, structured equity products, leasing and asset financing, and financial engineering. We also have extensive experience in obtaining rulings from various revenue authorities and lobbying for appropriate legislative outcomes.
The Allens Tax Group is consistently involved in large tax audits and single-issue reviews for many of Australia's top companies and we are acknowledged as market leaders in undertaking tax negotiations and litigation on behalf of our clients. We have also advised on significant international tax issues including advising on general structuring of transactions and transfer pricing issues and disputes.
Our indirect tax experts provide advice on all stages of transactions to ensure the most efficient outcomes from the perspectives of the stamp duty and GST costs. These specialists are able to assist in documenting a transaction and also have experience in GST audits and stamp duty reviews.
Energy in innovation
The Allens Tax Group invests substantial time and resources to keep our lawyers at the leading edge of taxation. Rigorous legal analysis backs up our unusually practical approach. Many clients have benefited from our innovation and excellence through seeking changes to the Income Tax Assessment Act and new types of structures (such as the dual listed companies).
