Corrs Chambers Westgarth shares key learnings
ATO’s appetite for challenging claims of legal professional privilege (LPP) has been highlighted by a recent Federal Court of Australia decision (Commissioner of Taxation v PricewaterhouseCoopers [2022] FCA 278) and the consultation in the lead-up to the imminent release of the ATO’s new LPP Protocol.
