Tax

Tax advice that accounts for the bigger picture

Addsum’s tax practice spans compliance, planning, cross-border structuring and risk management – all coordinated with your accounting, finance and wealth position so that nothing is optimised in isolation.

Our approach

Tax is never just a tax problem

For businesses and individuals, tax decisions rarely sit neatly in a single jurisdiction or a single service line. A business structure decision affects your overall tax position, a financing arrangement affects your transfer pricing, and a succession plan affects your capital gains exposure. Addsum’s tax advisory practice is built to see these connections, and to make sure a decision made in one area doesn’t create a problem in another.

Our tax compliance and advisory services

From complex structuring to ongoing compliance

• financial • taxation • assurance

Addsum’s tax team covers the full spectrum of Australian and cross-border taxation – from day-to-day compliance and BAS lodgement through to complex international structuring, transfer pricing and BEPS reporting. Our clients include individuals, growing businesses, multinationals and major Asia-Pacific enterprises with Australian operations.

Addsum holds the credentials and the experience to handle even the most complex obligations and can represent you directly in dealings with the tax authorities when required.
