Last night the Government announced a scheme that assists the self-employed across the country during the COVID-19 pandemic.

It will also apply to members of partnerships.

An update from our CEO – Support Hours and TaxCalc 2020 Release

Our continued updates on what’s happening at TaxCalc:

• We are in the final stages of testing for the 2020 release with a view to the release landing by the end of this month.
• Our Customer Support Team is now set up and working from home, dealing with calls as if they are in the office.

At the time of writing, we are all OK. We have had a few of the team self-isolating but now that we are working from home, we have reduced the risk of infection considerably. Long may this continue. Plans are in place to ensure minimal disruption to you and your firm regardless of staffing levels.

COVID-19 and TaxCalc

TaxCalc, like all business is having to implement a change to how we currently work in light of the rapid acceleration of the COVID-19 pandemic. As you would expect of a family business, we have prioritised the wellbeing of our employees and their collective families. As we navigate these uncertain times together, I want to keep you updated and assure you that it’s business as normal at TaxCalc.
