Pricing questions

Questions about tax accountant fees

The price becomes a fixed fee only for the written scope and assumptions confirmed before engagement.

Are the prices fixed?

They are starting prices. A fixed fee is confirmed after the period, income sources, records, deadline and deliverables are clear.

Is VAT included?

No. The guide prices are shown before VAT. The written quote will show the fee, VAT and total separately.

Why can similar tax returns cost different amounts?

The work may differ because of additional income sources, properties, gains, foreign income, missing records, earlier errors or HMRC correspondence.

Will I know the fee before work starts?

Yes. The scope and fee basis are confirmed before detailed work begins. Specialist matters may require an initial review first.
