Online tax service launched for smaller firms

Bloomsbury Professional has launched an online tax service for small and mid-sized accountants.

The new Bloomsbury service includes 15 titles covering the main taxes and five specialist topics. The service also integrates with social networking sites such as LinkedIn and Twitter, allowing subscribers to freely share information with clients.

Subscribers get a free annual subscription to TAXtv and discounted rates for the PTP Tax Consultancy helpline. 

Bloomsbury Professional said the service is responding to demand for more competitively priced reference tools. Smaller firms typically access tax services infrequently and download only a few hundred documents a year, and are unwilling to pay the higher prices larger firms pay for more extensive services.

Steve Savory from Bloomsbury Professional commented: "If you’re only accessing your current online reference service occasionally – as most high street firms do – spending several thousand pounds on it is a luxury you really can’t afford."

Bloomsbury Professional is available to download now for an annual subscription of £195 for a core tax service for one to three users.  A free trial is available here for AccountingWEB.co.uk members.
