How much should a tax practitioner charge for an hour consultation?

I wish to do a Voluntary Disclosure Programme application for 4 preceeding tax years, and was charged R3000 for 2 hour review of my documents before even the process of VDP was initiated. It was called preliminary assessment by this service provider. I just want to know it this figure/fee is regulated and whether in your opinion is a fair and/or ethical charge.

There is no regulated fee, but for situations of VDP that does sound quite fair.
