I've been using TaxCalc for many years, sometimes doing as many as four tax returns for various family members each year. The user interface is a little dated and possibly confusing for new users, but... See more

If Taxcalc can't pick up the phone on their support line in a reasonable timescale, what is the point of using their software?

Very good value for money.
Very good value for money.
We switched over from IRIS's accountancy suite to TaxCalc and instantly noticed the difference in usability and speed of the software.
We would highly recommend TaxCalc
Terrible support
I am a registered user. After decades of using a rival product, I started running the two produicts in parallel. Whilst my old software is well established, it was getting qwerky and expensive.
My review is not based on software capabilities but comparative responses to queries for support. Taxcalc support is non-existent!

Excellent Software for small accountancy team
We I have used TaxCalc for many years and always found the software to be excellent and easy to use, and also their support to be incredibly helpful whenever we've had issues. We also feel as though they are constantly looking at ways to improve the software and user experience.
We are a small team of seven working with clients of various types and industries and have found the software to be adaptable and to fit our requirements well.

There are two parts to my comments here. First of all the assistance and support was great however the wait to get through is beyond ludicrous. Given the charges you are making these delays are completely unacceptable and VERY SERIOUSLY need loking at
Support could be much better, product so-so
I have found the quality of support provided for the Personal Tax modules has been steadily getting worse. Time taken to reply is very variable and invariably the first reply either doesn't answer the question asked or is incorrect, so frustrating. The product itself is also far from perfect with entry boxes for certain items not in particularly intuitively placed and often hard to find. The 'Knowledge Base' is generally completely unhelpful as the search facility brings up so many unrelated items. I also find it frustrating that there is no way clearly to mark whether a particular section of the return is complete or still has outstanding items or has not been considered. This leads to wasted time having to keep going back into schedules to check. Digita product is far superior in this respect.

Excellent piece of software!
I have used TaxCalc for several years, and I find it simple and straightforward.
Excellent product, and the "What If" option is very useful for me and my wife when working out how much we should contribute to our pensions every year.

Updated to cloud connect- but when I try to download the update (shows as available) then not available when log in as admin to do so
Not as wonderful as it used to be
I originally loved TaxCalc and recommended it to other people because it was so quick in answering any questions. I still find it helpful but problems take longer to solve. Microsoft (which itself never solves anything) sends a warning whenever I log in. I don’t know why this is but suspect it won’t pass on information on the Internet.

Rob and Sam have been extremely helpful with our accounts production and CT600 preparation and submission to HMRC and Companies House.
They handled everything efficiently and ensured the process was smooth from start to finish. Their support and attention to our work were greatly appreciated, and it’s clear they genuinely care about delivering a high standard of service.
Thank you both for your excellent support.
