Background

About Sam Gathercole

I assist a range of clients to ensure their complex employment tax obligations are managed. I have worked with some of Australia's largest organisations, with a specialised interest in the ENR and financial services sectors. I am passionate about the growing role of technology in tax, and the impact of employment tax considerations on workforce decision-making. I have 3 years' experience working at KPMG as part of the employment tax team. I have assisted with a range of Fringe Benefits Tax (FBT), Superannuation Guarantee (SG), Payroll Tax (PRT), and PAYG withholding matters including: • Preparation and submission of employment tax voluntary disclosures, private binding rulings and class rulings with the relevant authorities. • Review of payroll code SG treatment, investigation of payroll code mapping, and lodgment of SGC statements using data analytics (Alteryx, SQL). • Tax due diligence as part of buy-side and sell-side transactions to identify tax risks and potential exposures. • Preparation and lodgment of FBT and PRT returns using data analytics.
