Frequently Asked Questions
You’re not the first person to wonder about these things. Most of our clients come to
us with similar worries.
What does a tax lawyer do that an accountant can’t?
Accountants focus on compliance and tax returns. A tax lawyer represents you legally — in audits, disputes, and litigation — and protects your rights when things go wrong.
When should I call Mathews Tax Lawyers?
As soon as you receive notice of an audit, penalty, or investigation. The earlier we act for you, the more options you may have.
Can you help if the ATO is already taking action?
Yes. Even if the review or audit process has started, we can still represent you and work towards the best outcome.
Do you work outside Brisbane?
Yes. We act for clients anywhere in Australia, with our headquarters in Brisbane and virtual offices in Sydney and Melbourne.
How do your fees work?
Costs depend on the complexity of your matter. We provide clear, upfront estimates before starting work, so you know what to expect. Where possible and depending on the scope of work, we provide fixed fees.
