Jolyon Dare
Partner
Tax Consulting
Jolyon Dare is a highly qualified and seasoned taxation practitioner. Following time with accounting firms Moore Stephens and WHK Horwath, Jolyon joined HLB Mann Judd in 2005 as Manager, Tax Services.
Jolyon is highly regarded for his understanding of commercial taxation matters, particularly those that typically apply to small to medium-sized businesses. This includes high level expertise in areas including:
  • tax consolidation specifically in relation to how corporations treat losses, depreciation deductions, cost bases, franking accounts and inter-company transactions, and more broadly how the tax consolidation regime can help corporations restructure their affairs or pursue growth whilst maximising tax efficiencies
  • transaction advisory services, where a corporation is seeking to acquire an entity or business asset. This typically includes taxation due diligence, typically through a thorough analysis of historical tax returns and financial statements, to identify tax risks and opportunities associated with a transaction, and
  • international taxation for corporations operating across different jurisdictions, including specific expertise in relation to foreign sourced income, permanent establishment matters and transfer pricing issues.
Jolyon’s technical proficiency was well demonstrated as a result of a taxation due diligence task. The task involved a multinational in the waste management sector acquiring an existing business in a acquisition valued at around $45 million. Through a comprehensive risk analysis of the target’s corporate structure and taxation affairs, a number of significant issues were identified that allowed greater value to be extracted from the acquisition, mostly as a result of tax consolidation arrangements. Administration and compliance costs were also minimised. A critical factor in the successful completion of this task was Jolyon’s ability to work within a tight time frame, with all work being completed within one month of taking initial instructions from the client.
Jolyon is a technically astute and commercially focussed practitioner. Above all else, he is widely recognised as a balanced and perceptive problem solver.
