Personal Computer World review of TaxCalc 2008 Personal 6 - August 2008 issue
According to Benjamin Franklin: "In this world nothing is certain but death and taxes."
There's not much IT can do to prolong your lifespan, but software such as Taxcalc 2008 can help when it comes to taxes.
An official HMRC partner product, the version of Taxcalc we tried was Personal 6, which enables up to six individual returns to be made for the 2007/08 tax year. read more...
PC Pro review of TaxCalc 2008 Personal 6 - April 2008 issue
Verdict: Excellent tax software makes it easy to upload returns without relying on the Revenue's website.
It's happy days for third-party tax programs. With the fiasco early this year - when HM Revenue and Customs' website was rendered unavailable for days - still fresh in the mind, many users are re-evaluating the Revenue's own online submission tools. This excellent alternative will be one of the first to benefit.
There may be big changes to the 2008 self-assessment forms, but TaxCalc 2008 Personal 6, which covers the SA100 return and its supplementary pages as well as Partnership, Trust, Companies and the R40 repayment forms, retains a familiar look. read more...

PC Answers review of TaxCalc Lite - October 2007 issue
Tax: it’s nobody’s favourite word, subject or task, but it’s something that impacts on all our lives, some more so than others.
If you’re self-employed or have to manually fill out your tax returns, then you’ll know how much of a chore it can be. This isn’t helped by the overly complex nature of HMRC’s (HM Revenue and Customs) tax forms. Fear not, though: help is at hand. The TaxCalc 2007 product range from Acorah is the most comprehensive and simple tax software on the market.
The program takes its users beyond the tax man’s jargon and makes it possible for anyone, regardless of their tax and accounting knowledge, to calculate the amount of tax that they have to pay and complete their tax return. By completing the SimpleStep questionnaire, TaxCalc users can calculate their tax liability calculations, from capital gains tax to company car tax, before they send their completed return to HMRC. read more...
