Fee schedule
Tax advice (rates as of 1 January 2010)
All the work we do is charged at an hourly rate. The more complicated your questions are the higher the rate will be since specialized knowledge is required. We believe our fees are very competitive, considering that we have extensive knowledge about expat related tax issues. Expat tax is our core business and we assist several thousands expats every year which is one of the reasons why we can keep our fees low.
For income tax returns we can give an estimate of the costs. The fee depends on the complexity of the return and the time which needs to be spent.
A lower fee is possible if:
- you request Expatax to file tax returns for three or more years at the same time;
- you refer three or more expats to Expatax who actually have us prepare their tax return (to be able to offer a lower fee the other expats must have sent a signed client questionnaire to us before we start the preparation of your tax return);
- you refer at least five of your colleagues to Expatax whereby a collective agreement can be made with your employer which includes additional benefits besides a fee arrangement.
A referral can be made by using the referral form.
