Effective from : 1 January 2025

Standard fees

Our standard fees for the preparation of a UK tax return are EUR 450 - 750. This covers the majority of “standard” situations (e.g. employment income, UK interest and dividends etc.).

In some cases, additional fees are required where situations are non-standard and therefore out of scope of the standard fee. For transparency we detail the typical level of additional fees below. All fees are quoted exclusive of VAT.

 
 

Tax residence / HMRC Set-up

Transfer-year : In the year of transfer to/from the UK the UK tax resident start/end date must be determined using the Statutory Residence Test which depends on various factors. Our fees will be charged on a time-spent basis at EUR 125 per hour.

Registration for Self Assessment : If not already registered for self-assessment and filing annual income tax returns then an application for self-assessment and to request a UTR (Unique Taxpayer Reference) are charged at EUR 125.

HMRC Agent Authorisation : If online authorisation by the client is not possible (e.g. digitally excluded taxpayers) then fees to prepare the paper filings are EUR 125.

Non-Resident Landlord Application : Preparation of request to be treated as a Non-Resident Landlord.  Fees are charged at EUR 125.

 
 

Specific tax reporting

Remittance based taxation : We do not prepare tax returns for individuals filing using the remittance basis of taxation.

Rental income : One rental property is included in our standard fee, and each additional rental will be charged at EUR 75.

Sale of Real Estate : Sale of a UK property requires specific reporting. We charge EUR 400 – 600 + VAT for the preparation of UK Capital Gains Tax Return (Resident or Non-Resident) for the sale of a single property.

Jointly Owned Real Estate : For non-resident taxpayers who are required to file UK tax returns to report solely their rental income, where we prepare the income tax returns for both spouses, a discount is applied : please contact us for details.

Capital gains : Since the UK has strict matching rules for Capital Gains our fees are based on the provision of an up to date “pool” for any capital gains transactions including assets held.  We can create the pool, upon request, if this is not available but it should be noted that this is often time-consuming/complex.  Please contact us for a specific fee quote for this work.

Cryptocurrency / Digital Assets : The standard tax return fee is based on the provision of summary data for the fiscal year showing any income (e.g. airdrops, staking etc.) plus details of any gains/losses subject to UK taxation. Each sale/trade (incl. intra-crypto) must be matched using the UK capital gains matching rules (see above) and, where applicable, exchanged to FIAT at the date of the trade. Where additional analysis is required to determine the UK taxable amounts/matching transactions/pooling, this will be charged on a time-spent basis at EUR 125 per hour.

Commuters / Foreign Tax Credit / Tax Treaty claims : The analysis required for taxpayers commuting to/from the UK, who need to claim Foreign Tax Credits and or apply double tax treaty provisions requires some complex analysis.  Time to make the required calculations and analysis will be charged on a time-spent basis at EUR 125 per hour.

Other services

Reduction/cancellation of Payments on Account : Calculation of estimated UK taxes and online request to change Payments on Account.  The time spent varies depending on the detail of the calculations required. We typically charge EUR 125 - 250 for this request.

Cancellation of Self-Assessment : Liaison with HMRC to cancel the filing obligation for an individual who ceases to have a Self-Assessment filing obligation. Time will be charged on a time-spent basis at EUR 125 per hour.

Section 9(a) or other HMRC enquiries/correspondence : If HMRC request additional information or raise enquiries into your tax return we can assist with responding to these requests.  We charge on a time-spent basis at EUR 125 per hour for all correspondence.

Ongoing HMRC Agent Authorisation : Whilst we are generally not registered as agents with HMRC when we are not preparing ongoing income tax returns, we can keep the access live, upon request.  We charge EUR 100 per calendar year for this service.
