PC Pro review of TaxCalc 2009 Personal 6 - March 2009 issue

Verdict: Few new features, but a solid, inexpensive program that remains the best tax return software for individuals.

The Inland Revenue's push towards online tax filing has spawned a clutch of third-party tax return tools and Acorah Software's TaxCalc Personal is our current favourite, allowing you to submit up to six tax returns.

TaxCalc offers a wider choice of forms than the Revenue's own web-based online service. As well as the standard individual, partnership and trust returns, TaxCalc adds a clutch of others, such as Lloyd's Underwriters, not available through the Revenue's service. read more...

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 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.
