In late 2020 my business was contacted by the QLD Office of Sate Revenue in relation to a historical Payroll Tax review for our Queensland Operations. The timing could not have been worse, just a couple of weeks before Christmas and with deadline for data submission in early January 2021. After reviewing my due diligence on this matter from when I purchased the business, I determined that I needed specialist payroll tax advice to verify my position. This is when I reached out to Peter Tobin.

From our first interaction I was impressed with the depth of knowledge and experience that Peter has in these matters. Equally important was his ability to guide me in the data collection, preparation process and response to OSR at a time of the year when everyone is typically closing down. Peter was available in January to complete the submission and begin discussions with the OSR case manager. His advice is direct, practical and easy to work through.

As part of this process, Peter also provided advice on a business restructure that more clearly defined our business practices and gave us a clearer view on our payroll tax position. This change ignited a transformation in our business model which enabled us to plan for future growth with the security that we are not at risk of any payroll tax issues.

After almost 18 months, this matter was finally settled in our favour. The submission, experience and guidance from Peter Tobin was fundamental to achieving this successful outcome.

I absolutely recommend that you have a chat with Peter Tobin, you won’t be disappointed.
