    Hi just wondering if anyone can tell me how much a tax return through an accountant or bookkeeper would cost? I was doing my own returns for the last few years but would like a professional to help this year as I'm dealing in much higher figures. I was quoted by 3 different accountants between €185-€500. Thanks for any help.

    Would help if we knew what we were quoting for.

    €185 sounds very low...

    €500 on point

    Stay away from bookeepers if you are looking for a tax advice. Have seen some very entertaining figures/outcomes over the years.

    Thanks for your reply it's just a form11 tax return for 2016 for myself I work on RCTs but my earnings went over the threshold last year and want to be sure everything is done correctly.

    It's very much a "how long is a piece of string" question.

    I wouldn't advise you to divulge too much information on a public forum,

    However, the cost of a professional doing your tax return will depend on a multitude of factors.

    Income sources
    Quality of records kept
    Previous dealings with revenue
    Personal circumstances
    Etc.

    The best advice I could give is try to get a recommendation and speak to them.

    Apologies... had my post written about three hours ago and forgot to post
