Hi folks,
Anyone out there know what is a reasonable charge for an accountant to do a CGT calculation?
My brother was left a few acres of land 2 years ago(valuation accepted by revenue was given to the accountant) , he gave me a free site. The site is registered in my name now and my brother wanted to calculate the CGT due on the gift of a site to me.
He was advised to go to an accountant who came up with a liability of around 100 euro less than I did and charged 600 euro plus tax for doing that (reduced it to 300 euro plus tax on account of knowing my brother)
I would have been better off overpaying revenue by 100 euro.
Also if you miscalculate CTG and overpay revenue do they refund the excess when they check the calculations?
