Questions to prepare before your enquiry

A useful enquiry describes what you need, the facts that affect it, and the outcome you expect. Keep copies of written quotations and clarify exclusions before agreeing to a service.

  1. Identify the legal entity, ownership, activities and where transactions take place.
  2. Organise revenue, expense, payroll and cross-border payment records.
  3. Ask which registrations, taxes and filing obligations apply to those facts.
  4. Request the official basis for any threshold, exemption or filing date quoted.
  5. Agree what the professional will prepare, submit and retain, and who remains responsible.

Turn your checklist into a brief

Summarise your circumstances, location, desired timeline and the questions still unanswered. At the enquiry stage, avoid sharing identity documents, banking passwords or sensitive records. A provider can explain its secure document process if you proceed.
