Accounting Built for Mediation and Arbitration Practices
Mediation and arbitration professionals face challenges that general accountants rarely handle. Variable case-by-case fee income, CMC and CEDR accreditation costs, CIArb membership, professional indemnity insurance, venue hire and CPD requirements all demand advisors who understand how dispute resolution practices operate.
ABM Chartered Accountants works with commercial mediators, family mediators, arbitrators, adjudicators, dispute resolution firms and expert determiners across England, delivering structured financial support for dispute resolution businesses and individual practitioners. Every Self Assessment and tax filing is handled accurately.
Helping Mediators and Arbitrators Manage Fees and Tax
Dispute resolution practitioners need more than basic compliance. ABM Chartered Accountants prepares case fee schedules, accreditation cost tracking, travel expense claims, professional indemnity records and tax planning, giving practitioners clear visibility over case income, operating costs and annual profitability.
Whether you mediate commercial disputes, conduct family mediation, sit as an arbitrator, provide adjudication services or combine dispute resolution with expert witness work, our ICAEW and ACCA qualified team adapts to your practice, keeping the business and individual practitioners covered.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are answers to common questions mediators, arbitrators and dispute resolution practitioners ask about specialist accounting.
How is mediation fee income recorded?
Case fees are recorded when mediation services are delivered. Advance deposits are treated as deferred income until the session takes place. Cancellation fees are recognised when due.
Are accreditation costs tax deductible?
Yes. CMC registration, CEDR accredited mediator fees, CIArb membership and panel listing fees are all deductible. CIArb is on HMRC’s approved List 3 for tax relief on annual subscriptions.
Is mediation VAT exempt or standard-rated?
Mediation and arbitration services are standard-rated at 20%, not VAT exempt. You must register once taxable turnover exceeds the threshold and charge VAT on all case fees.
What practice expenses can be claimed?
Venue hire for mediation sessions, travel to hearings, case preparation at home, professional indemnity insurance, reference materials and IT equipment are all deductible business expenses against taxable income.
How is mixed employment and self-employment handled?
Many practitioners combine employed positions with freelance mediation. Each income source is reported separately. Employed income goes through PAYE while self-employed mediation fees are declared through Self Assessment.
Can ABM support mediators and arbitrators nationwide?
Yes. ABM Chartered Accountants serves mediation and arbitration professionals across England using secure cloud-based platforms, delivering specialist accounting to mediators, arbitrators and dispute resolution firms.
