Cost of Services

How much do all the services cost ?

Personal/Individual Returns

Income tax returns are charged at no less than $ 110 (including GST) per return lodged. The most basic returns are charged at this level. Fees increase depending upon the work and time involved. Most returns are prepared for the minimum charge.

Payment is made using one of the methods described here.

Services are generally only available to Australian residents. Australian income tax returns can however be prepared for non-residents that hold certain Australian investments.

Business Clients

My work practices encourage a flexible approach to billings and incorporate low overheads. This translates into a very competitive fee rate for our clients. I provide initial consultations free of charge and without obligation to business clients.

The fee structure is flexible and competitive and can be charged on either of the following bases:

Charging on a scale of hourly rates. Appropriately qualified and experienced staff are assigned to complete work for business clients.Hours expended by each staff member are costed your job based on that staff members' hourly "Charge-out-rate". These rates are arrived at based on each staff members, qualifications and experience. ; or
Providing a fixed fee quote reflecting the nature of the assignment, based on the staff involved and the length of time to complete the assignment.

I can assist clients to prepare their own financial information and data in order to minimise my clerical work and associated charges.

My policy on fees and disbursements is:

I welcome the opportunity of providing clients with an initial no-cost consultation in respect of their business, financial information, taxation concerns, commercial undertakings and business strategies.
Where we undertake work on an ongoing basis, for example, the provision of monthly management information and analysis thereof, we are prepared to provide a fixed fee and ensure that our charges do not exceed this level.
Disbursements are charged at cost.
Time spent on brief telephone enquiries and associated advice, and in the preparation of fee accounts, is not charged.
Time spent travelling to and from non-local the client's premises is normally charged.

I encourage open and frank discussion regarding any query or concern relating to fees rendered.
