What AccountingWEB says

With 6,500 firms using its products, TaxCalc more than holds its own in a market where it competes with well funded international groups such as IRIS, Sage and Thomson Reuters. TaxCalc’s integrated tax and practice suite is rated very highly by users and backed with a strong reputation for customer support, winning our 2017 award for practice suites in a photo finish with close rival BTCSoftware.

After a shaky start when it was first introduced in 2015, TaxCalc’s Client Hub has matured into the award-winner that binds together the developer’s tax, accounts and practice software suite, which now includes modules for filing VAT returns under MTD. With the addition of Cloud Connect in 2016, TaxCalc created a web database that can be accessed remotely, for example when working on site with a client. Once the database has been set up, the other modules access encrypted data from CloudConnect rather than a local server. This hybrid cloud/desktop approach has proved popular with TaxCalc’s sizeable user base among small firms.
