Tax Navigate Services

GST Consulting

GST obligations in Australia are rarely straightforward, the system’s
complexity and the ATO’s expectations continue to evolve. We work with
businesses and advisors to simplify GST risk, improve compliance, and
ensure tax efficiency. Our approach is commercial, strategic and proactive,
built on decades of experience in both private practice and within the ATO.
Our GST consulting services include:
  • Technical GST interpretation and advice
  • Classification, attribution and recovery guidance
  • Private ruling requests and audit defence
  • General anti-avoidance rule (GAAR) opinions
  • Data analysis and systems testing
  • Compliance reviews and outsourced support

Marine Sector Consulting

Bringing a yacht into Australian waters comes with significant regulatory and tax complexity. We provide end-to-end tax strategy, compliance, and agency support to help you charter or operate with confidence and without surprises.

Key service areas include:
  • Australian tax planning and registrations
  • Foreign flagging and ownership structures
  • Charter readiness and tax-effective structuring
  • Fiscal agency services for non-residents
  • Representation with the ATO and Australian regulators
  • Local stakeholder management and support
