December 27, 2023 | 60,00 EUR | answered by Petra Lehmann
Dear tax advisor,
My name is Siegfried Hoffmann and I am currently considering whether to use the services of a tax advisor. My main question is what services are actually included in the price of tax consultation.
Background information: I am self-employed and have been preparing my tax returns myself in recent years. However, as my business has grown and I now have international business relationships, the issue of taxes has become more complex. Therefore, I am considering hiring a professional tax advisor to avoid possible mistakes and to make the most of tax benefits.
Currently, I have been managing my tax matters myself, but I have reached a point where I am losing track and need professional support. My main concern is that I am not sure about the specific services that a tax advisor provides and whether the costs are worth it.
Therefore, my specific question to you is: What specific services are included in the price of tax consultation? Are there differences depending on the tax advisor, and which services would be particularly important in my case? I want to make sure that I receive the best possible offer and that my tax matters are handled optimally.
Thank you in advance for your support and advice.
Best regards,
Siegfried Hoffmann
Dear Mr. Hoffmann,
Thank you for your inquiry and your interest in the services of a tax advisor. It is understandable that you are concerned about what specific services are included in the price of tax advice, especially as your tax matters are becoming increasingly complex due to the growth of your business and your international business relationships.
In general, the services of a tax advisor include a variety of activities aimed at optimizing your tax affairs and taking advantage of possible tax benefits. These include preparing tax returns, advising on tax questions and issues, reviewing tax assessments, representing you to tax authorities, and preparing financial statements and business evaluations.
It is important to emphasize that the specific services of a tax advisor can vary depending on individual needs and agreements. There are tax advisors who specialize in specific industries or offer special services such as international tax law. Therefore, it is advisable to discuss your individual requirements with potential tax advisors in advance and ensure that they are covered.
In your case, as a self-employed individual with a growing business and international business relationships, the following services of a tax advisor would be particularly important: advising on the taxation of international business activities, optimizing your tax strategy, preparing financial statements and business evaluations, and assisting with compliance with tax regulations and deadlines.
It is important to inform yourself in advance about the fee structure and costs of a tax advisor to ensure that they are in line with the services provided. Often, the costs of tax advice are calculated based on an hourly rate or a flat fee per assignment. Therefore, compare different offers and choose the tax advisor that best suits your needs.
I hope that this response has given you a first insight into the services of a tax advisor. If you have any further questions or would like personal consultation, I am at your disposal.
Sincerely,
Petra Lehmann
