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. Financial accounting (monthly): Table C of the StBVV, depending on annual turnover. At a turnover of 500,000 EUR, the table value is about 93 EUR/month (mid-range fee 7/10). 3. Annual financial statement: Table B of the StBVV, where the object value is the balance sheet total. 4. Tax returns: trade tax, corporation tax/income tax and the annual VAT return according to Table A. 5. Add up all items and add 19% VAT. 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.
