How are tax consultant's fees calculated?

Since 2012, the fees that a tax consultant may charge have been calculated in accordance with the Tax Consultant Remuneration Ordinance (StBVV) since 2012. There, it regulates for which activity the tax consultant can charge which fee.

Depending on the service and object value, it specifies a minimum and a maximum rate. The billed fee may not be below or above these two values. However, since the difference between the two values can amount to several thousand euros, there is no simple answer to the question of what a tax consultant costs.

Our calculator for determining the tax consultant's costs therefore gives you the minimum fee, the medium fee and the maximum fee depending on the object value. Many tax advisors orient themselves on the so-called average value. This is - as one might suspect - exactly the middle of these two values.

This legal regulation is intended to prevent a price competition between tax advisors, to ensure the quality of processing and to help the taxpayer to estimate a fee.
