After seven years of working out tax manually (well, with a spreadsheet and calculator!) I now think I should buy some tax software. Can anyone recommend a good product? I need to calculate for about 50 clients, both personal tax and corporation tax.

Invest in Iris
We moved to Iris about 8 years ago and it is probably the best decision we ever made. Iris allows you to start as low as 25 clients and increase as your practice grows and the fact that all modules work around one central data base will save many hours and human errors.
If you consider practice software as an investment rather than expenditure, Iris will best investment in my opinion.
You will pay to buy the Iris software and then pay an annual licence if you ask then nicely they may well allow the latter to be pay quarterly throughout the year. I would recommend, at the very least, to obtain a quotation and see a demo of iris, before making a final decision.
Good luck
Tax Software
I use Taxcalc and generally it works fine. I have about the same number of clients and after using Taxcalc for 7 years just can't understand how I did it before.
However I still check it with spreadsheet or calculator but that just me!

I like and use PTP but others like TaxCalc, Drummohr etc. Get some sample software from their websites and try it out!
