How can we help?
The challenge was to manage immediate cash flow pressure while stopping penalties from spiralling further.
By drawing on our tax and legal expertise, we negotiated a realistic payment plan with the ATO and prepared a strong submission that secured an $82,000 remission in interest charges.
At the same time, we identified that their investment property had been incorrectly assessed for land tax – despite being partly leased to a not-for-profit. Our team built a robust objection, applying the charitable exemption rules and liaising with the SRO to achieve a $350,000 remission.
Robin received $450,000 in remissions within just a few months. With Aintree Group’s integrated approach, we turned complex policy and legislation into tangible financial wins.
By working together across our accounting, legal, finance, and wealth management teams, we designed a tailored solution that safeguarded the asset and delivered significant tax savings. We also made sure Alex’s estate planning and powers of attorney were updated to match the new arrangements.
We were able to ensure Alex’s property was protected, they saved $50,000 in tax, and the entire process was seamless – with Aintree Group’s integrated team managing everything from start to finish.
