Tony Fittler is the Managing Partner of HLB Mann Judd Sydney.

Tony Fittler is a highly credentialed taxation practitioner with over 25 years' experience, including 20 years with HLB Mann Judd.

Well regarded as being both commercially savy and technically astute, he possesses particularly strong skills in areas including:
 
  • advising private equity funds on structures and
     
  • assisting fund managers in relation to their tax matters across both the funds they manage, as well as the
    management company (including responsible entities)
     
  • advising medium-sized businesses (both privately and publicly owned) in relation to corporate taxation
    compliance, taxation audits and disputes and employee share schemes
     
  • advising individuals and groups undertaking property acquisitions and divestments (and in particular, matters
    surrounding capital gains tax and GST)

Tony has gained wide recognition for his work in securing private binding rulings from the Australian Taxation Office. Several of these rulings have established clear precedent for the future interpretation of taxation law and allowed to achieve commercial taxation outcomes that would not have been otherwise possible.

A pragmatic and client-focused practitioner known for his ability to look beyond issues purely related to taxation, Tony is well-regarded by both clients and peers for his innovative and personable approach.
