Wealth management firms are hopeful that a new Australian Taxation Office review could expand the financial advice services eligible for tax deductibility and make them more affordable, amid a 40 per cent blowout in median fees in three years.

Sector leaders and lobbyists, which have for years called for all advice fees to be eligible for deductions, say updated guidance could help revert the upward trajectory in fees, which has resulted in at least 100,000 Australians quitting or becoming priced out of advice.

Just 10 per cent of the population receives advice, and the supply of professional advisers has dropped from 27,959 in 2019 to 15,874 at the end of last year, according to analysis of government data by researcher Adviser Ratings.
