- Your claimed refund is being refused
- A dispute needs an appeal before the tribunal
How the matter moves
We review the notice or order and calendar the deadlines. A reply or appeal is prepared with the legal grounds and supporting records. If needed, we seek a stay of recovery, and the case moves through the appellate forums, including the tribunal and the High Court on questions of law.
Papers to keep ready
- Notice or assessment order
- Tax returns and wealth statements

Questions clients ask
Should I reply to a tax notice myself?
Replies can have long-term consequences, so have them reviewed. Even a short response should be accurate and timely.
Can recovery be stopped during an appeal?
A stay may be available from the appellate forum, depending on the case and the applicable rules.
Do you replace my accountant?
No. We work with your accountant on the legal side of the dispute.
