Fees

Initial Contact

‍There are two possible ways to engage with the firm.

The first is a tax consultation, the purpose of which is to answer your legal or tax questions, confirm an analysis, explain a tax regime, or guide you through the steps to be taken.

The second is a free initial discussion, where the sole purpose is to understand your situation and determine whether the firm can assist you with a specific engagement and, where appropriate, provide you with a fee proposal.

🔹 Tax Consultation

‍Where the discussion is primarily intended to answer specific legal or tax questions, confirm an analysis, explain a tax regime, or provide guidance on the steps to be taken, it constitutes a consultation.

The consultation fee is €250 excluding VAT (€300 including VAT) and may be conducted by video conference or telephone.

Where the matter involves a particularly high level of complexity, the firm reserves the right to adjust the consultation fee, subject to prior notice and the client's agreement.

🔹 Request for Assistance with a Specific Matter

‍When you contact the firm with a view to engaging us for a specific assignment, the initial discussion aimed at understanding your situation and, where appropriate, providing you with a fee proposal is free of charge.

This may include, for example:
- the preparation of a tax return;
- a tax claim or regularisation procedure with the tax authorities;
- a tax ruling request;the calculation of a tax liability;
- a comprehensive analysis of a tax regime applicable to your situation;
- assistance in the context of a tax audit...


Fee arrangement

Fees are set in full transparency with the client and are always the subject of a prior discussion.
In accordance with the ethical rules governing the legal profession, three billing methods may be applied:

1. Billing based on time spent

Fees are calculated according to the time devoted to the case, at an hourly rate of €200 (excl. VAT).
‍
An estimate of the fees is generally discussed during the first meeting.

2. Flat fee billing

For certain matters, a flat fee may be agreed, covering all the firm’s work on the case.
This flat fee does not include potential external costs (bailiffs, postal expenses, translations, administrative filings, etc.).
‍
A fee agreement specifies the amount and the services covered.

3. Success fee

A success fee may be agreed in addition to a fixed or flat fee, for instance based on a tax reduction obtained or a tax saving achieved.
‍
This fee can never constitute the sole remuneration.
‍
A fee agreement sets out the calculation method.
