In brief, “it depends.” However, tax attorneys generally charge flat fees for specific tax resolution services.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Nearly every prospective client seeking a tax resolution attorney<\/a> wants to know how much a cannabis tax lawyer will cost. Of course, the cost will depend upon the individual attorney and the scope of representation. In general, the larger the scope of representation the more likely a tax attorney will charge ‘by the hour<\/em>.’ In contrast, if the tax client needs a specific service that allows the tax attorney to estimate the number of hours required to complete the service, the more likely the attorney will charge a flat fee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flat Fee Services<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A tax attorney representing marijuana dispensaries is more likely to quote a flat fee for minor services. For instance, a marijuana dispensary that owes an unknown amount to the CDTFA may need a tax attorney to conduct a tax account review and identify the exact amount of tax liability and what is required for ongoing sales tax compliance. That service is limited in duration and scope so a tax attorney may feel comfortable charging a flat fee of $3,000 USD. In contrast, if the marijuana dispensary is under audit by the CDTFA<\/a>, it’s more likely that the tax attorney will charge an hourly rate as the total hours in the life-cycle of representation are difficult to estimate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Retainer Fee + Hourly Rate<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Attorneys traditionally charge a retainer fee and bill against that retainer fee according to their hourly rate as they work on the client’s case. Attorneys often default to this traditional method of billing in lieu of flat fees when litigation is involved. Likewise, when the number of hours required to represent the client is not clear, attorneys often charge a retainer fee and bill by the hour. In cannabis tax cases, retainer fees on the low-end range from $5,000<\/strong> to $10,000<\/strong>. When litigation is involved retainer fees can easily be greater. Hourly rates range from $300 to $450 for average tax attorneys in solo practice. Of course, these rates can easily be greater depending upon the law firm, partner, and area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
