Capital gains tax can significantly affect the outcome of selling or transferring assets such as property, businesses, or investments. Understanding how CGT applies can help reduce uncertainty and support informed financial decisions.
Family trust distribution tax issues often arise where trust distributions do not align with Family Trust Election rules or beneficiary entitlements. Understanding how these rules apply can help manage tax exposure and reduce the risk of unexpected liabilities.
Land tax can affect the holding, structuring, and ongoing ownership of property, with significant consequences if liabilities are not identified and managed properly.
Payroll tax can affect the way a business engages workers, structures operations, and manages compliance, with significant consequences if liabilities are not identified and addressed properly.
Small business CGT concessions can significantly reduce or eliminate capital gains tax when business assets are sold or restructured. Understanding eligibility and how the concessions apply can make a substantial difference to after-tax outcomes.
Stamp duty, also known as land transfer duty, applies to a wide range of property and transaction arrangements and can significantly affect the overall cost of a deal. Understanding how duty applies can help manage exposure and avoid unexpected liabilities.
Tax disputes arise when a taxpayer disagrees with an assessment, decision, or action taken by a revenue authority. Understanding your position and available review pathways can help you respond confidently and manage risk.
Tax residency can have a significant effect on how income, capital gains, and cross-border arrangements are taxed. Understanding whether you or an entity may be treated as a resident or non-resident can help reduce uncertainty, manage exposure, and support better tax planning.
Vacant Residential Land Tax can affect residential property holdings where occupancy requirements are not met, creating significant exposure if the rules and exemptions are not properly understood.

How a Tax Lawyer at Velocity Legal Can Help You
Tax law covers a wide range of issues, from compliance to disputes and planning. Our tax lawyers in Melbourne provide comprehensive services to both high-net-worth individuals and businesses, offering strategic advice that aligns with your needs.
Tax Dispute Resolution
If you’re involved in a dispute with the Australian Taxation Office (ATO), having a skilled tax dispute lawyer on your side is crucial. We help resolve disputes effectively, whether it's related to unpaid taxes, audits or disagreements over tax obligations. Accountants provide invaluable expertise, but when their typical avenues with the ATO have been exhausted, our lawyers leverage their specialised expertise in legislation and the legal landscape to develop alternative strategies, negotiate effectively with the ATO, and, if necessary, provide representation in court or tribunal proceedings where required.
Capital Gains Tax Advice
Selling property or investments can trigger capital gains tax. Our capital gains tax lawyer provides expert advice on managing capital gains tax obligations and structuring transactions in a tax-effective manner. Whether you're selling real estate or other assets, we help you navigate the complexities of capital gains tax, helping you understand your compliance obligations and available concessions.
Tax Fraud Defence
Allegations of tax fraud are serious and can result in significant penalties. If you’re facing such charges, our team of tax fraud lawyers can help protect your rights. We have extensive experience defending clients against tax fraud allegations and working to achieve a fair and legally appropriate outcome.
Business Tax Planning and Compliance
Businesses face a range of tax challenges, including payroll taxes, GST, and corporate tax issues. Our tax lawyers help businesses stay compliant with Australian tax regulations while providing advice on structuring your business in a tax-effective manner. We also assist with strategic tax planning to help you minimise liabilities and maximise savings.
Personal Tax Advice
Tax law is just as important for individuals. Whether you need help with income tax, superannuation, or deductions, our tax lawyer can offer advice tailored to your situation. We help individuals navigate the complexities of personal taxation, helping you understand your tax obligations and make informed financial decisions.
