Hi all
i'm now lying in bed at night worrying about not just getting the UK tax done, but also (and more pressingly) the Aus tax return.

Does anyone have any personal experience/recommendations for good/smart Aus tax accountants on the north shore in Sydney?

I'm (pre children) an UK accountant by training, and have had some 'interesting' UK experiences with UK tax accountants... which I'd prefer not to repeat here!

Do let me know your thoughts or advice!

with thanks
teagg (aka Gillian)

Oh and ballpark costs for the work would be particularly useful!

with thanks

Does the accountant have to be in Sydney, Gillian?

Best regards.

Gillian,

Contact me and my firm would be more than happy to help. We are in South Australia but can prepare tax return by correspondence and telephone interviews.

Hi Sir Henry



I would expect that you would pay $0.95 cents to the dollar.



I would advise that we set-up a tax-haven in your name – I can introduce you to a real estate person who can sell you a small island in the Maldives .



I would require a retainer for 10 hours of work – please forward a cheque for $99,000. This will be non-deductible & non-refundable.

I have just been informed of this post.

I can only assume that your query, which I have no knowledge of, was directed to Mark Willis, who is no longer associated with Southern Taxation Services.
I also must assume that your query caught Mark when he was in a playful mood.

That aside, my company has no association with Go Matilda, and I would suggest you direct any tax related questions to the owner of the website.

Hi Teabag, we were in the same boat as such and used a local (to us) tax man however neither my wife nor I were convinced he was competant. After seeking advice from Go Matilda Alan we use Craig Trusler of a company called WHK Business Services Pty Ltd. The web site is www.whkdayneilson.com.au or email info@whkdayneilson.com.au. The firm has offices in Vic and M'bourne. I appreciate they are not in Sydney but with email and phones is was not a problem for us. However the choice is yours and I can only give you the benefit of our experience. Regards.
