How much does a tax advisor cost?
The cost of working with a tax advisor depends on:
The complexity of your affairs – straightforward compliance is usually less expensive than bespoke structuring or international tax matters.
The level of service required – from annual returns through to ongoing strategic support.
Specialist expertise – for example, R&D tax relief, inheritance tax planning, or cross-border advice.
As a guide, fees can range from a few hundred pounds for one-off compliance work to several thousand pounds a year for more complex, ongoing advisory support. At HURST, we always provide a clear fee proposal upfront, so there are no surprises.
Is it worth paying for a tax advisor?
In most cases, yes. The benefits often outweigh the costs:
Tax efficiency – identifying reliefs, allowances and structuring opportunities.
Risk reduction – avoiding penalties, enquiries and reputational damage.
Time saved – freeing you to focus on running and growing your business.
Peace of mind – knowing experts are safeguarding your interests.
For many clients, the savings and opportunities uncovered through proactive tax advice significantly exceed the initial outlay.
