testimonials
“I have worked with Ian and his team for many years. I consider BNR to be the pre-eminent advisers in taxation issues relating to deceased estates and trust matters.
The advice BNR provides is always on point and presented in a manner which is easy to comprehend, which is something that is not always easy to do. This is reflective of their skills and thorough knowledge in the area.
Ian and his team are always easy to deal with and helpful when you need some guidance.
I highly recommend BNR Partners to anyone seeking tax advice in estate and trust matters.”

Director – Cornford-Scott Lawyers
“We have both referred many clients to BNR Partners. Each time they have involved complex tax issues including:
– in specie transfers from deceased estates to DGR registered charities;
– advice on complex capital gains tax for deceased estates where properties were used partly as the principal place of residence of the deceased and partly liable to capital gains tax;
– advice on capital gains tax for deceased estates where properties owned by the deceased (including their home) were disposed of more than 2 years after their date of death;
– advice on tax issues affecting non-resident taxpayers as beneficiaries of trusts; and
– advice and tax returns arising from the interpretation of a trust deed where the trust vested on the death of an individual.
On each occasion, BNR have provided brilliant service and in some cases urgent overnight advice on the relevant tax issues and how the tax is calculated and assessed as well as preparing the necessary tax returns. We often recommend BNR partners to clients to advise on complex deceased estates and trust taxation issues.”

“I have had the pleasure of working with Ian Raspin and the team at BNR Partners for many years.
Ian is widely considered Australia’s leading expert on the taxation of deceased estates and trusts. Within seconds of meeting him, you will understand why. Not only is Ian technically brilliant, but he is able to draw on his decades of experience to provide practical guidance on how to navigate the complexities and hidden traps with the taxation of deceased estates.
I regularly act as an independent administrator of complex estates and engage BNR Partners. They provide invaluable tax advice and assistance to me including with obtaining private tax rulings.
I am extremely grateful for the advice and support which BNR Partners continue to provide McIntyre Legal and our clients.”
Anthea McIntyre
Accredited Specialist – WILLS & ESTATES (NSW)
Director – McIntyre Legal
“As an accredited specialist solicitor in Wills & estates, I work extensively in the areas of estate administration, estate planning and estate litigation.
In the course of my practice, I regularly engage BNR Partners to provide advice on deceased estate taxation issues. It has assisted me from time to time with both simple and complex issues with equal facility and it has always provided a reliable and cost-effective service. The taxation of deceased estates is a specialised accounting area which, in my experience, is well understood by few accountants. BNR Partners are deservedly regarded as an expert in the area.
I have no hesitation in providing this testimonial and recommending the services of BNR in this area of practice.”

When that advice is needed we are confident that Ian Raspin and his team at BNR Partners can be relied upon.”
