BNR PARTNERS
specialised tax adviceSpecialised Tax Advice
our expertise
BNR Partners also provides written opinions on more complex taxation matters where there is uncertainty on the interpretation of taxation legislation in relation to deceased estates and testamentary trusts, or when tax planning is recommended during the Will preparation process. This advice is often used in mediation processes.
Private Binding Rulings
With the variety of estate taxation complexities and uncertainties that exist, it is often in the best interest of the estate and the LPR to seek a private binding ruling as to how the Commissioner would assess a given arrangement or situation.
This is increasingly important where there is uncertainty in relation to tax treatment so as to provide the LPR with certainty on how to report certain events, to be able to manage their exposure to personal liability for income tax post the distribution of an estate’s corpus.
Voluntary Disclosures
BNR Partners regularly attend to voluntary disclosures directly with the ATO on behalf of our clients where uncertainty exists as to the tax history of the deceased, or where there are retrospective compliance issues that the executor has been unable to address satisfactorily and wishes to do so prior to distribution the estate’s corpus.
Specialised tax advice
We provide written opinions on more complex taxation matters where there is uncertainty about the interpretation of taxation legislation in relation to deceased estates and testamentary trusts, and any associated entities of the deceased.
This advice if often used in mediation processes or alternatively, is purely sought by executors and trustees alike to give comfort that the tax issues have been reviewed by a tax professional specialising in this domain.

testimonial
“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.”
