HOW MUCH DOES YOUR ACCOUNTANT CHARGE TO DO TAXES ?

Assuming you use one that is, and don't use the pre-filled template on the RF site.

Tax season just ended last week, and I actually paid my guy two weeks ago. Now, while everyone has different situations obviously, and unless you have only one source of Brasilian income, and no assets or trading activity, it's not going to be that easy, especially for an expat learning the ropes, nor I imagine at the lower end of the scale when you get the bill.

R$1.500 was my annual fat rate (for multiple Brasilian and foreign income calcs, capital gains, trading, and RE assets) and I also pay him a retainer of R$250 a month for carne-leao and direct access. Basically I can send him a WA to his personal number as much as I want with the questions/situations that I have, and he'll respond immediately if he is free. Research, whatever, no extra charge as well.

FWIW this is on the lower end of the scale IMHO, if I compare it to tax preparation services in other countries, as it equals $300USD. It's been several years now and I've had no issues or malha fina problems, so, just curious what everyone else pays and does ?
