Private Binding Rulings


Getting Clarity and Certainty from the ATO

Nobody wants to make a mistake and underpay or overpay their tax, but sometimes a situation or transaction is so unique, it's not possible to know exactly how the tax laws apply. In these cases we can apply to the ATO to  give a ruling on how something ought to be treated, and guarantee what the outcome will be.


How does it work?

We write a submission to the ATO in their approved format, outlining the facts of your case and how we believe the law should apply. They respond with their decision and, as long as we apply the treatment given, the outcome will be certain.


How long does it take?

Getting a Private Binding Ruling can be a lengthy process so it's best to get started early to ensure it's completed before the relevant tax form is due.


How do I get started?

Fill in the form below with the details of your case and we'll be in touch to let you know if a Private Binding Ruling Application is right for your circumstance. If so, we'll present you with a proposal to apply for the ruling on your behalf.
