Jan de Belastingman VS. A tax advisor
Jan de Belastingman is not just any tax advisor. However, many people still wonder whether they should use Jan de Belastingman or the traditional tax advisor. The choice is yours of course, but we would like to give you a hand and compare Jan de Belastingman with the traditional advisor.
Accessibility
When you want to use a tax advisor, in most cases you have to make an appointment beforehand within the opening hours of the tax office. So you already have to be lucky that the opening hours already fit within your schedule, or you may have to reschedule your appointments.
Jan de Belastingman was founded partly out of this kind of irritation. With this initiative we want to make tax advice easy and accessible to everyone, regardless of your schedule. This is why we have drawn the card of online advice from the very beginning and have completely perfected our working method ever since.
Costs
It goes without saying that tax advisors also need to earn a living, and thus charge a fee for their services. There is nothing wrong with that either, but this can quickly add up. Especially for individuals or small self-employed people who only have a "simple" question, the costs often do not outweigh what you get in return.
However, Jan de Belastingman has worked out a unique system where both individuals and self-employed people can receive free advice through the chat. You register for free on Jan de Belastingman's platform and can always use the income tax chat free of charge. So you don't pay high hourly rates when you only have a small question.
Remote appointments
Above, we have already discussed accessibility. Unlike John de Belastingman, traditional advisors do not always offer remote appointments. This can be quite convenient because these appointments are very easy to schedule, even for people with busy lives.
In addition, COVID-19 may have forever changed the way we make such appointments. Making an appointment with a tax consultant is not the most pleasant thing to do, especially when you have to wear a mask all the time. No, just relax at home on the couch with a drink of your choice, while getting free tax advice from Jan de Belastingman. Why should we make things so difficult for ourselves?
Reliable
Most tax consultants are totally trustworthy. Nothing wrong with that. However, every now and then a story pops up of untrustworthy tax advisors who scam people. These advisors are willing to give tax advice for next to nothing (and a few euros) and they mainly target the lower social class. These are precisely the people who perhaps need help with their tax returns the most. We make this accessible to them as well by offering free income tax advice via our chat.
Help while completing your tax return
It is not always possible for a tax advisor to really dive into your application with you at the time you are filling them out. For example, an advisor may have been really good at helping you with the question you had, but you may find that you still have an additional question while filling out your return. Well, there you are....
