Focused tax-advisory consultation — Tax adviser
Use a tax-advisory consultation when a specific decision needs analysis beyond completing a return. Describe the question, relevant taxpayer type and countries, and whether a decision has already been made; agree the supporting documents privately before expecting a reliable answer.
Service scope
A professional opinion or consultation on a defined tax question rather than routine return preparation. The engagement should identify the facts, assumptions, jurisdiction and written or verbal output needed for a particular decision.
What is normally included
- Assessment of a specified tax question
- Explanation of relevant information gaps
- Agreed written advisory conclusions
What is not included
- Automatic filing or implementation
- Open-ended tax planning
- Promised savings without assessment
Typical tasks
- Frame the tax question
- Establish the factual assumptions
- Identify required supporting records
- Analyse the agreed scope
- Deliver a bounded explanation or opinion
What to include in your brief
- Main tax question
- Taxpayer category
- Countries involved
- Decision stage
- Written opinion or consultation required
Choosing the right professional
Ask the adviser to specify which assumptions and taxes their conclusion covers. Separate advice from filing or restructuring work, and prefer a clear explanation of limitations over an unsupported promise that one answer applies in every market.
Important considerations
- Advice may change if the facts change
- Informal summaries can omit decisive details
- Implementation may require other specialists
