About how much are tax accountant fees for inheritance tax?

Hello. This is an attorney specializing in inheritance at Daeryun Law LLC.

Tax accountant fees for inheritance tax do not have a single fixed standard; they vary depending on the scale of the inherited property, the type of property, the difficulty of valuation, the number of heirs, and whether there is a dispute.

Therefore, it is difficult to conclude uniformly "how much is needed."

An inheritance tax return requires complex review, not only of the tax calculation but also of the valuation of real estate, the valuation of unlisted stocks, the review of debt deductions, and the determination of whether the spousal inheritance deduction and various personal deductions apply.

In particular, where unlisted stocks or income-producing real estate are included, the difference in tax amount can be considerable depending on the valuation method, so there are many matters in which the involvement of an expert is practically essential.

Generally, tax accountant fees are set according to the total value of the property or the tax base bracket, or determined through separate consultation depending on the difficulty of the work.

A return centered on financial assets and a return that mixes real estate, unlisted stocks, overseas assets, and the like differ in the time invested and the very scope of review, so a difference in cost is inevitable.

In addition, inheritance tax issues are often connected with the division of the inherited estate, disputes over the legally reserved portion (forced heirship), transfer of title, prior gift issues, and the possibility of responding to a tax investigation.

Because the possibility that the tax authorities may request supplementation or that it may lead to a tax investigation after filing cannot be ruled out, it is important to approach it structurally at the early stage.

In this respect, because the legal issues in the process of negotiating the division of the inherited estate and the structure of the tax calculation must be reviewed simultaneously, inefficiency arises when an inheritance tax matter is handled with the tax area and the legal area separated.
