Tax Consulting

Practical tax advice for businesses and individuals

Tax rules change constantly, and getting it wrong costs money in penalties, missed deductions and poor structuring decisions. Our tax consulting team works with business owners, families and individuals to plan ahead, stay compliant and make the most of the opportunities available under current legislation. We combine technical depth with plain-English advice, so you understand the reasoning behind every recommendation.

For businesses

We advise companies, trusts and partnerships at every stage, from start-up through to succession or sale. Our services include:

• Ongoing tax planning and structuring reviews for growing businesses
• Corporate tax matters, including tax consolidation and Division 7A compliance
• Advice on group restructures, CGT rollovers and available tax concessions
• Mergers, acquisitions and business sales, including due diligence and pre-sale structuring
• GST, Fringe Benefits Tax and Superannuation Guarantee obligations
• Employee share schemes and remuneration structuring

We work alongside your existing advisers where needed, so tax advice is built into your broader business strategy rather than treated as an afterthought.

For individuals and families

High net worth individuals and family groups face their own set of tax challenges, particularly around wealth protection, succession and cross-generational planning. We provide:

• Tax planning for family groups and multi-entity structures
• Succession and estate planning, including deceased estates
• Advice on matrimonial settlements and their tax consequences
• Support for property investors and developers
• Guidance on tax residency for individuals moving to or from Australia

Dealing with the ATO

If you're facing an ATO review, audit or dispute, having the right advice early makes a real difference. We assist with:

• ATO risk reviews, audits and objections
• Private binding ruling applications and early engagement with the ATO
• Tax governance frameworks that reduce risk before it becomes a problem

International tax

For businesses trading across borders, we advise on income tax and GST issues for both inbound and outbound operations, as well as residency questions for individuals working or living overseas.

Why work with Stragans

Our tax consultants don't just prepare returns. We look at the full picture, your business goals, your family circumstances and your appetite for risk, and build advice around what actually matters to you. Every recommendation is explained clearly, so you can make decisions with confidence rather than guesswork.
