Chris Peadon of New Chambers was a member of the taxpayer’s counsel team.
Chris has significant experience in international tax issues, including taxation of cross-border financing arrangements, and gains made by foreign residents on disposals of Australian assets.
Please direct enquiries as to Chris’ availability to the Clerk, Ms Angela Noakes.
