Overview (Program Summary)
A program hosted by:
ACC AustraliaThe overlap between tax and disputes is complex and can create tensions within organisations that are not prepared for them. Julian and Muhunthan will chart a course through this broad topic.
They will explore:
- The perennially contentious topic of when to bring in the lawyers (both internal and external);
- The equally contentious topic of whether to go to litigation;
- Avoiding, mitigating and navigating reviews, audits and ultimately litigation;
- Current ATO programs and focus areas, and an overview of State and Territory focus areas; and
- Some of the ATO’s areas of sensitivity so that you do not inadvertently poke the bear where it is sore!

Presentation: 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm
