Step-by-Step Guide
How to estimate tax advisor fees for your business: 1. Determine turnover and profit: these figures form the object value for the various fee tables. 2.

Annual financial statement: Table B of the StBVV, where the object value is the balance sheet total. 4.

Example: a GmbH with 500,000 EUR turnover, 80,000 EUR profit and a balance sheet total of 300,000 EUR. Accounting (12 months): about 780 EUR/month x 12 = 9,360 EUR. Annual financial statement: about 1,800 EUR. Tax returns: about 1,200 EUR. Net total: about 12,360 EUR plus VAT = about 14,708 EUR/year. All costs are deductible as business expenses.
