Tax & Business Advisory
ATO Audits & Disputes
Are you on the verge of an ATO audit or review? An audit can involve large amounts of work and the collection of massive amounts of paperwork. The process itself can lead to increased stress and demand a considerable time commitment from those under the audit.
At Fortuna, we help to mitigate the risk of an ATO audit, assist in ensuring consistency in meeting tax obligations and help keep the entire process hassle-free and time-efficient for you or your business. Read on for more information on how we can help you today.
International Tax
Navigating around international tax laws, anti-avoidance laws and transfer pricing issues can be a significant challenge for most established businesses. While growing and expanding overseas, some companies end up facing various unexpected risks and, in some cases, penalties for non-compliance.
As an individual, your tax residency could imply the application of different tax rules, and this could impact you if you are an inpatriate working in Australia or an Australian working as an expatriate overseas.
Having a team with years of experience in both Australian and international tax matters can be a game-changer in the global market. At Fortuna, we help you circumnavigate the complexities of international taxation. We act as your trusted advisers beyond borders, keep you updated with the requirements of overseas regulatory bodies and help you keep up with the ATO’s expectations.

Usually, what they need is not more passion or a more innovative organisation, but often an external opinion from a team of experienced professionals that can help them make considerable improvements to their performance and profitability.
Our expert analysts can help you define the characteristics of your company, identify its strengths and opportunities, define your goals in the market and implement an effective plan to achieve set targets. Read on for more information.
