Anthony Harb, Partner

I have more than 18 years of indirect tax experience across Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States. I advise clients on complex GST and indirect tax matters, with particular expertise in financial services, including banking, asset management, and payments. I have also worked with clients across a wide range of industries, supporting larger, multi-entity, and cross-border organisations as they manage their indirect tax obligations and navigate significant transactions.

Before joining SW, I was a Director in Deloitte’s Indirect Tax practice. I previously held senior roles with KPMG in London and New York, advising major global organisations and collaborating with tax specialists across multiple jurisdictions. Throughout my career, I have advised on a broad range of indirect tax matters, including cross-border transactions, complex restructures, M&A indirect tax due diligence, and property transactions, and have extensive experience liaising with tax authorities.

Earlier in my career, I worked as a solicitor in HM Revenue & Customs’ (HMRC) VAT litigation team in the UK, where I was responsible for the conduct of indirect tax appeals before tribunals and the Court of Appeal. My experience working with HMRC and supporting clients through challenges from tax authorities has given me a practical understanding of how indirect tax legislation is interpreted, applied, and reviewed.

I enjoy translating complex tax issues into clear, commercially focused advice. My approach is collaborative and practical, helping clients understand their options, manage risk, and make confident business decisions.
