Nuwaru has been enhancing its capability to provide Senior Tax Expert Opinions as a service to address the complex tax issues of our clients. 

We receive many requests for tax experts with broad professional experience and life skills to support or resolve complex tax matters for organisations or for a professional firm’s own clients. Quite often, tax areas are involved which require specialised skills, deep subject matter expertise and a strategic approach. 

Nuwaru has been purposely designed to provide clients with affordable access to the most experienced and capable tax professionals, whilst reinventing the delivery of tax services. We have assembled a team of highly qualified tax professionals from many antecedent Tier 1 firms and organisations providing a diversity of views and approaches to solving tax problems.

Tier 1 quality and insight

With our unwavering focus on Tier 1 quality and insight and drawing on acumen, honed over many years practicing in the profession and in businesses, our tax experts are keen to share their knowledge to benefit clients. Confidentiality, prudence and trust are of the utmost importance.

Senior Tax Experts augmenting the needs of accounting and law firms and inhouse teams

We are on-call to augment and contribute to the needs of our clients. We support many accounting, law and other professional firms with expert or second opinions on complex tax matters for their clients, seamlessly working as part of their teams.  Similarly, we work with inhouse tax and finance teams in the corporate sector.

Senior Tax Expert Opinions to support Litigation and Disputes

We are also asked to provide tax expert opinions to support law firms and their clients in litigation and disputes where tax plays a role. These may involve insurance, commercial or family disputes, and do not directly involve the ATO, but require tax aspects to be understood in a broader context.  Our experts are called upon to attend mediation or appear in Tribunals and Courts to present and explain their opinions and respond to cross-examination.

Independent Senior Tax Expert opinions and soundings for Boards and Senior Management

Our Senior Tax Expert capability suits Boards and senior management, who need independent tax expertise, second opinions and soundings, often at a senior strategic level, to understand and resolve complex tax matters.

Full-service tax firm capability

We are a full-service tax firm and cover the broad spectrum of taxes including income tax, stamp duty, GST, employee taxes, transfer pricing and international taxes.  In many instances, sub-categories of tax areas come into question, such as employee shares schemes, franking credits, capital gains tax or trust taxation, which require specialist knowledge and experience beyond many generalist tax advisers.

Nuwaru focus on the user experience of clients to deliver value

Nuwaru has a systematic approach to making it easy for our clients to align the scope and budgets, receive instructions and deliver our opinions in a suitable format; the user experience for our clients is everything and we pride ourselves on seamlessly delivering value.

The key is to know where to look and identifying the right fit. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us at Nuwaru to arrange an introduction with one of our tax experts suitable for your needs.

Our very own David Early recently wrote an article for MNE Tax, discussing important tax consequences resulting from reforms to LIBOR and other inter-bank offer rates.

‘So first and foremost, if you have any loan agreements that reference LIBOR, or Euribor or other ibor, you need to update the agreement urgently (if you haven’t already). It is then a matter of how it is updated (ie is it just an amendment, or a rescission and new agreement) that will determine the tax consequences.’ – David Early
