Tax Law Partners is operated by AHS Legal Pty Limited (ABN 82 681 409 405). This notice explains how we collect, hold, use and disclose personal information, including information you give us through this website, following the Australian Privacy Principles in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth). It was last updated on 6 November 2026.
Who we are and how to contact us
AHS Legal Pty Limited, trading as Tax Law Partners, Level 24, International Towers Three, 300 Barangaroo Avenue, Barangaroo NSW 2000. You can also reach us by phone or email using the details on our contact page. Please mark a privacy request or complaint "Privacy".
What we collect
- Website enquiries: your name, phone number and email address, the kind of matter, any deadline you mention, when and how you'd like us to contact you, anything you write in the message box, and the page you sent the enquiry from.
- If you call, email or meet us, or we act for you: information about your tax affairs, finances, business and family, your identity details, and information about other people involved in your matter, such as co-directors, family members or the other party.
- Sensitive information: some matters need sensitive information, such as health information supporting a hardship or remission request. We collect it only with your consent and only where your matter needs it.
- Website visits: our website host automatically records technical information, such as your IP address and browser type, to run and secure the site. We don't currently use analytics or advertising cookies on this website.
Please don't send tax file numbers or documents through the website form.
How we collect it
Mostly from you: through this website, by phone or email, or in meetings. We also collect information from others where you authorise it or your matter needs it, for example from your accountant or other advisers, the ATO, Revenue NSW and other agencies, and public sources such as ASIC and court records, including when we check for conflicts of interest.
If a law requires us to collect particular information from you, such as identity details for some kinds of work, we'll tell you at the time and name the law.
Why we collect it
We use personal information to respond to your enquiry, check for conflicts of interest, advise and act for you, run our practice (for example billing, record-keeping and insurance) and meet our legal and professional obligations. We don't sell personal information or use it for unrelated marketing.
You can make a general enquiry without giving your name. But we need your name and contact details to respond and to check for conflicts, and if you don't give us the information we need, we may not be able to advise or act for you.
Who we disclose it to
As lawyers, we also owe you a duty of confidentiality. We disclose personal information:
- to our service providers, such as our website host, the email service that delivers website enquiries to us, and our IT, cloud storage and practice management providers, so we can run this website and our practice;
- when we act for you, as your matter requires, for example to the ATO, Revenue NSW, courts and tribunals, barristers and other consultants we engage, your accountant and other advisers, and other parties to the matter;
- to our professional indemnity insurer, if needed; and
- otherwise, with your consent or where the law requires or permits it.
Overseas disclosure
Enquiries sent through this website reach us by email through an email delivery service that processes data in the United States, and our website host may also process data there. So personal information you submit through this website is likely to be held or processed in the United States. Some of our other service providers, such as cloud email and storage providers, may also store information outside Australia.
How we hold and protect it
We hold personal information electronically, in our practice systems and with cloud service providers, and sometimes on paper. We take reasonable steps to protect it from misuse, interference and loss, and from unauthorised access, change or disclosure, and to destroy or de-identify it once we no longer need it and the law doesn't require us to keep it.
Access and correction
You can ask for access to the personal information we hold about you, or ask us to correct it, by contacting us. We'll respond within a reasonable time. In limited cases the Privacy Act allows us to refuse access, for example where giving access would unreasonably affect someone else's privacy. If we refuse access or correction, we'll tell you why in writing and how you can complain.
Complaints
If you think we've mishandled your personal information, please tell us in writing using the contact details above. We'll look into it and reply in writing, aiming to do so within 30 days.
If you're not satisfied with our reply, or you haven't heard from us within 30 days, you can complain to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC). Its website, oaic.gov.au, explains how, and its enquiries line is 1300 363 992.
