Crowe Horwath appoints leading GST practitioner
Crowe Horwath has appointed goods and services tax (GST) practitioner, Jonathan Doy, as a principal in the Sydney Tax Advisory group.
Doy has 26 years experience as a senior indirect tax adviser in the big four accounting firms, with his past 8 years spent at PwC. He was the first equity GST partner at a big four firm following the introduction of the GST in 2000.
Most recently, Doy was a major contributor to the Australian Taxation Office's (ATO's) 2010 GST Governance and Risk Management Guide.
Crowe Horwath, chief executive officer Darren O'Brien, said that Doy's appointment would benefit the accounting firm's clients due to his strong GST technical expertise, combined with his tax governance and risk management experience.
"Jonathan is not just a technical expert, but a trusted adviser building strong relationships with clients and the ATO," O'Brien said.
"Jonathan has led and resolved multimillion dollar ATO audits across retail, property, infrastructure and large government agencies. Finding solutions across these audits would only have been possible through addressing both indirect and direct tax aspects before considering the relevant solution," he said.
Doy has also contributed to the development, interpretation and practice of GST laws over the past 11 years.
"Jonathan has been instrumental in shaping the practicalities of the [GST] legislation," O'Brien added.
