TaxResolve

Helping you to secure the best outcome!

A Tax Audit can be incredibly stressful, frustrating and challenging. How you respond to and manage the audit can be career-defining and costly.  The best way to avoid mistakes is to engage an experienced and qualified taxation consultant.

As a former Senior Assistant Commissioner at the ATO, and former Tax Controversy Partner at both Deloitte and at PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), Ashley King has been consistently recognised (by the International Tax Review) as one of Australia's leading tax dispute resolution advisers.

"I started working in the ATO when I left school (in Canberra) to learn about tax and business.  I worked days and studied nights obtaining two degrees in my first ten years (Accounting and Tax Law). I worked hard and gained deep experience in audits, investigations, court appeals and law design before becoming the youngest ATO Assistant Commissioner in 2001," says Ashley.

Ashley lives in Glen Iris and since starting his own registered tax advisory firm in 2018, has been part of the Boroondara Council business network.  He has worked with numerous businesses in the local community and has played an integral role in helping to resolve taxation disputes with the utmost adherence to client confidentiality.

If your business requires assistance understanding and achieving tax compliance, and could benefit from an experienced and qualified independent advisor, Ashley King welcomes all enquiries.

Qualifications

Ashley has a Bachelors’ degree in Commerce and Accounting and a Masters’ degree in Taxation Law.  He has been a member of the Tax Institute of Australia for 25 years and is a Chartered Tax Advisor and Registered Tax Agent.
