Our fees are calculated by reference to the amount of work required, the skills and experience of the staff deployed on a particular assignment and individual client circumstances. Circumstances and the amount of work required can vary widely from one client to another and as such, the indicative fees on this page are a guide, and not a fixed price. We review individual circumstances for all potential new clients and provide a tailored quote wherever possible.

Some tasks cannot be performed on that basis and instead are charged at our hourly rates which range between £175 per hour and £295 per hour. If hourly charging is appropriate for your work, we will provide an estimate and, if required, an upper threshold at which point forward costs can be reassessed.

As a guide, median fees for the main services offered are as follows:

  • SA100 personal tax return: £650 plus VAT
  • R40 personal tax reclaim: £250 plus VAT
  • SA900 trust/ Estate tax return: £750 plus VAT
