How much is our work taxed in Australia compared to other countries?

The OECD recently released its latest Taxing Wages 2022 report, and it’s interesting to see where Australia falls compared to other developed nations when it comes to tax. One of the purposes of this particular paper was to look at the impact of Covid-19 on how workers were taxed across 38 different nations – and it makes for interesting reading!

Our relationship with DFK Laurence Varnay spans about 20 years, which should say a lot! Colin and Faizal have been great partners to us and have delivered great outcomes despite some major challenges at times. One of the most valuable aspects is their responsiveness and availability. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend their services.

For at least 10 years DFK Laurence Varnay have been a trusted partner, supporting me with compliance, tax returns, SMSF and they have been instrumental with personal wealth management and setting up businesses. The accuracy of their advice is something I appreciate and rely upon. They are experts at striking the balance between risk and opportunity.

Tony and his team are excellent. They are professional, highly responsive and proactive in their approach to working with us. They have been a crucial partner in support of our local and overseas operations with accounting, taxation and general business advice.

About a year ago I engaged the team at DFK Laurence Varnay to help me set up my new business. Being a new business owner, Tony and Tim were able to provide me sound advice on structuring my business and guided me through the whole process. I love the fact that they are so responsive and reliable - it really allows me to focus my time on what I do best.

We have been delighted with the care and thoroughness provided to SIMA during its audit. The DFKLV team took the time to understand our business, and provided professional and efficient services. Because of this, we have moved our bookkeeping over to DFKLV as well. I highly recommend them.
