Questions We Hear Every Week

Since the Closing Loopholes reforms, a well worded contract alone isn’t enough. Our framework is a third-party, arm’s-length structure built on established common law precedent, the employer employee relationship genuinely doesn’t exist, not because a contract says so, but because the arrangement is structurally designed that way.

If contractors primarily work for you and can’t pass the Personal Services Income (PSI) tests, this means they’re not really running their own business, and bear no commercial risk, the ATO may classify them as your employee. We offer a free assessment to quantify any exposure.

Third party, precedent based common law contracting is a specialised area that’s not widely covered in general practice. We’ve operated since 2004 and make all precedent documentation available for due diligence.

No. We offer a free, confidential, no-obligation review, we’ll assess your exposure, review agreements, and give you an honest appraisal.
