Tax-return preparation — Tax adviser
For a tax-return service, identify which return and period need attention and whether records are ready. A useful brief distinguishes a first filing from recurring preparation or overdue work, while personal identifiers and financial documents are reserved for secure onboarding.
Service scope
Preparation and, where expressly authorised, submission of a specified tax return using the taxpayer's records for an identified period and jurisdiction. Record reconstruction, tax planning and handling a later enquiry are separate unless included.
What is normally included
- Reviewing return-preparation records
- Preparing an identified return
- Agreed filing and acknowledgement support
What is not included
- Filing without client approval or authority
- Inventing deductible expenses
- Unlimited later enquiry handling
Typical tasks
- Confirm the return and period
- Review the supplied record set
- Identify missing information
- Prepare the return for review
- Complete agreed submission steps
What to include in your brief
- Return type
- Tax jurisdiction
- Reporting period
- Records ready or incomplete
- Known submission date
Choosing the right professional
Ask what records the preparer needs and how you will review the completed return before submission. Confirm whether bookkeeping, amendments and authority correspondence are included; a headline return fee may assume orderly records and a narrow scope.
Important considerations
- Incomplete evidence can affect reported figures
- Filing responsibility and approval must be clear
- Earlier omissions may require a separate correction
