QUESTIONS

Frequently asked questions.

Are you replacing our tax adviser?

Not necessarily. We handle the compliance work and can coordinate with your existing advisers on complex advice, disputes and planning.

What if we have missed filings in the past?

The health check identifies them and we remediate first, including voluntary disclosures where appropriate, before moving into the regular service.

How do we know a filing has been made?

Every filing is logged with its submission receipt in your compliance calendar, and summarised in the monthly status report.
