How the fee is confirmed.

The figures above are the fees we charge for a standard case. Where your case is not standard — several income heads, prior years to regularise, records that need rebuilding — you receive a fixed fee in writing before any work starts. Nothing is billed that was not agreed first, and we do not raise a fee midway through an engagement.

Fee questions

Why is your fee published when most firms quote privately?

Because at the volume we file, negotiating every engagement individually costs more than it earns, and a published fee filters out the conversations that were never going to convert. It also means you can compare us properly rather than on a number extracted over the phone.

Is the fee per year or per return?

Per return, per tax year. Regularising three prior years is three returns. Where several years are filed together the work per year falls, so tell us the full position up front and the quote reflects it.

Does the fee include the tax I owe?

No. The fee is for preparing and filing. Any tax, default surcharge or penalty payable is yours and is paid directly to FBR through a PSID challan in your own name — it never passes through us.

What if I engage you and the case turns out to be bigger?

You get told before the work happens, not in the invoice. If the scope changes materially we re-quote and you decide whether to proceed. If you decide not to, you owe nothing for work not yet done.
