Official registers to check a professional
| Where | Register | What it shows |
|---|---|---|
| United States | IRS Directory of Federal Tax Return Preparers with Credentials and Select Qualifications | Lists CPAs, enrolled agents, attorneys and some others with a PTIN |
| United Kingdom | Chartered Institute of Taxation: find a Chartered Tax Adviser | Professional body for chartered tax advisers |
| Australia | Tax Practitioners Board public register | Check registered tax and BAS agents |
| European Union | Find a lawyer (European e-Justice Portal) | Search lawyers across EU national bar registers |
Each country page also links its tax and immigration authorities, which often explain who may give tax advice or act for you there.
Questions to ask before you hire anyone
- Which countries are you licensed or qualified to advise on, and under which credential?
- Will you prepare the return in each country, or only one? Who handles the other?
- What exactly is included in the fee, and what costs extra?
- Do you carry professional liability insurance for cross-border work?
- How will you receive my documents securely?
- Do you pay or receive any referral fee for this engagement?
How referrals will work, if they open
If FlagSage ever introduces professionals, each will have a named card with their jurisdictions, credential and the date we verified it, their scope and fees, and any compensation we receive. Nothing will be shared without your specific consent to a named recipient, and you will always keep your own export. Today none of this is live.
