Handy Self Assessment software

   

Most of the eight million people who have to file a Self Assessment form find it is every bit as complicated as it looks...

We've come across a handy bit of software (TaxCalc 2005) that may well take the pain out of completing your return - particularly if you have a large number of transactions to include.

Developed originally by Which? the Consumers' Association, TaxCalc 2005 is an HM Revenue & Customs Self Assessment filing partner so reliability won't be an issue.

Some key features of the software include:

• Calculates your tax bill and advises if you are eligible for a refund.
• Over 50 professional tax-saving tips that you won't find in any Inland Revenue form or guide.
• Fail-safe features like SimpleStep and as-you-type advice written in the plainest of plain English.
• Includes calculators written for Capital Gains Tax, Indexation and Taper Relief.
• Enables useful 'what if?" calculations (e.g. "what if I received an extra £3000 on my salary instead of having a company car?").
• Allows you to file up to 6 Income Tax returns e.g for your whole family,
• Simple, encrypted submission over the Internet with immediate confirmation and processing by the Inland Revenue. You receive any rebate up to 3 months faster when you file online - and no HMRC transcription or calculation errors
• Online updates for tax changes and new TaxCalc 2005 features.
• Free support by telephone, email and 24/7 via www.taxcalc.com

TaxCalc 2005 download costs £19.99 inc.VAT (plus £4.95 for CD and p&p). Customers will be able to order TaxCalc 2005 online at www.taxcalc.com, by phone on 08707 669935 and by email atsales@taxcalc.com.

And, we're not getting paid anything to feature the product - we've used it ourselves at Bytestart, and we feel it's worth a mention!
