Particular areas of interest to Yina include staying updated with the evolving regulatory landscape around income tax in Australia. She also enjoys assisting her clients in engaging with the relevant departmental and regulatory stakeholders on a range of issues, including taxation issues and the impacts on a business’s commerciality.
A key focus of Yina’s work is taking the time to speak to her clients to understand exactly what they want to achieve.
