Taxation

Tax Planning & Compliance

The honest, lowest tax position across your business, family group and super.

At Local Knowledge, taxation is not a once-a-year event — it is a continuous strategic discipline. As a Fellow CPA and Chartered Tax Adviser, Graham brings institutional-grade rigour to every client engagement: structuring, planning, and compliance that holds up to ATO scrutiny.

We do not chase aggressive positions. We build defensible ones — grounded in current legislation, tested against ruling history, and documented to the standard a reviewer would expect. Every return, every BAS, every private ruling request is signed off by Graham personally.

Our taxation work spans individual returns through to complex multi-entity group structuring, international tax obligations, and ATO dispute management. The goal is simple: get your tax right, sustainably, with no surprises.

What we deliver

Individual and business tax returns — prepared and lodged before deadline, every time
BAS preparation and lodgement with GST structuring advice
Multi-entity group tax planning (trusts, companies, partnerships, SMSFs)
ATO audit representation and dispute resolution
Private ruling applications and technical interpretation
International tax compliance (cross-border, FIRB, withholding)
Capital gains tax planning — property, shares, business disposals
Fringe benefits tax (FBT) compliance and planning

This is for you if

1
Business owners wanting proactive tax structuring, not just compliance
2
Property investors with complex portfolio structures
3
Families with multi-generational wealth and trust structures
4
International investors entering the Australian tax system
5
