We are exclusively licensed to use the Tenant Doctor™ trademark and specialise in compliant independent practitioner arrangements.
Overview
Hamilton Bailey is exclusively licensed to use the Tenant Doctor™ trademark in legal documents within Australia and advises on independent practitioner arrangements under state payroll tax legislation. We help Facilities Service Providers structure arrangements with the aim that payments are not characterised as taxable wages; the outcome depends on the facts and on the relevant revenue authority's assessment.
Details
Hamilton Bailey is exclusively licensed to use the Tenant Doctor™ trademark in legal documents within Australia. We advise Facilities Service Providers on:
• Structuring arrangements with the aim that payments are not characterised as taxable wages • Documenting independent practitioner relationships consistently with their operation • Understanding the separate tests applied under state payroll tax law, Commonwealth tax law and employment law • Supporting sound operational and financial administration
Characterisation depends on the whole arrangement, including the contract terms, conduct and flow of funds, and on the relevant authority's or tribunal's assessment. Our analysis has regard to decisions including Thomas and Naaz [2021] NSWCATAD 259, affd [2023] NSWCA 40. Would you like to discuss how Tenant Doctor™ arrangements may apply to your Facilities Service Provider entity?
Every matter turns on its own facts and we do not guarantee any particular outcome.
