Product Description
Manufacturer's Description
An easy-to-use program that takes the hard work out of Self-Assessment. Calculates how much tax you should be paying for tax year 2003-2004, and tells you how to claim any rebate. All you have to do is enter your personal and financial details on-screen, and TaxCalc 2004 will do the rest.
You can do it quickly: Let TaxCalc 2004 interview you to get all the information it needs, or just fill in the blanks directly on forms, à la carte. Either way, our powerful number-crunching takes it from there.
You can do it accurately: Originally developed by Which?, TaxCalc has been trusted over the last two decades to file over a million tax returns, quickly and accurately. And with fail-safe features like live-audit messages... its like having a professional accountant watching over your shoulder to spot costly errors. And youll sleep better in the knowledge that we also guarantee to refund your purchase price PLUS any penalties that might arise from any inaccurate TaxCalc calculation.
You can do it and still get professional money-saving tax advice: TaxCalc boasts over 50 money-saving tips that you wont find in any Inland Revenue tax guide so it may well end up paying for itself many times over.
Thoroughly complete. Completely thorough: From politician to pop star, no matter who you are, or what you do for a living, TaxCalc can calculate your personal tax return. We include every single self-assessment tax return form published by the Inland Revenue... everything you need, including Capital Gains Tax calculation, indexation and taper relief.
You can print and post, or file by Internet: TaxCalc prints out an Inland Revenue approved paper tax return that you can pop in the post. Or you can use TaxCalcs online filing function. It lets you file your return simply and securely at any time of the day or night. And you get an immediate confirmation of your successful filing. Better still, if youre owed a rebate youll receive it up to three months faster when you file online with TaxCalc. (Typically within five days!)
Peace of mind? Fully automatic: No matter what tax rules change during the course of the tax year, or what new features are added to TaxCalc, its Live Update function keeps your software current over the Internet. Plus, TaxCalc 2004 automatically saves your return as you type into it. So you dont even have to worry about re-entering lots of information after a computer crash or power interruption.
You can get your refund sooner with TaxCalc: Why let the tax man keep your money until January 31st next year? TaxCalc lets you do your tax return when it suits you best. If youd like to do your taxes right away, TaxCalc makes calculation and filing so simple, theres no reason not to. And, if you use TaxCalc to file online you could get your refund in days rather than months. The program is also perfect for procrastinators or those who owe the tax man money. With TaxCalc, the September 30th deadline for Inland Revenue calculation is of no consequence. Whenever you choose to file, youll have quick, accurate calculations at your fingertips.
No worries about Internet security or lengthy connection charges: TaxCalc lets you do your tax return off-line, keeping all your personal financial details private. Once calculated, if you decide to file online, it sends your file quickly and securely, with 128-bit encryption, with a single mouse click.

I loathe filling out tax returns, and the only thing that keeps me vaguely sane at the end of January is the knowledge that TaxCalc will help sort things out.
The best bit is it takes you relatively painlessly through various easy steps that identify the raw information it needs to fill out the form. There's no subtracting box 32a, 45d and 57.i ii & iii from the square root of your pension contributions. It's all very logical, straightforward and somehow less intimidating than those ghastly IR forms.
The other nice touch is when you get to the end and calculate what you owe, if it all seems far too much and you suspect there's an error, it's very easy to go back and amend figures or add in some crucial fact that can reduce your tax bill.
TaxCalc can either send your forms off electronically (but you need to register well in advance with the Inland Revenue first) or you can print them out (b&w is ok) and post them.
As for their various marketing claims, yes you could complete the return in under 30 minutes IF you have all the necessary forms and data to hand. If your filing is as shambolic as mine, this is closer to 30 days, but you can hardly blame the software for that.
Money saving tips - yes, these are ok but I don't recall any that were relevant to me - either so basic I'd already figured them out, or so complex I didn't understand.
In general though, the explanatory notes they provide for all aspects of the form are very good. They're not always simple, but this is a horrendously complex topic and they do a difficult job well.
Another nice benefit of TaxCalc is if you don't know certain figures, you can put guesstimates into the form and get a rough calculation. If you add an explanatory note, you can even submit your return with estimated figures and the TaxMan will generally be happy (which reduces the stress of not being able to find that crucial bit of paper).
I've used TaxCalc for several years now and I would be lost without it. It is absolutely worth £20 or so, I really can't imagine anyone using this and then wanting to go back to the horrendous paper forms. What's more the software isn't limited to filing one return, the whole family can have a go.
Great value, immensely useful, I'd award it 6* for sanity saving value, but feel obliged to drop it to 4* because some aspects of it could be easier to use. Even so, it's a must-have bit of software for anyone who detests tax returns.

This is the second year I've used TaxCalc. I bought it last year because I had a mess to sort out, this year is more straightforward. The 30 minutes or less is still nonsense as there's loads to explore and frankly a marketing gimmick (surely, and who cares anyway?) but the program remains very good.
It has an import from Quicken function but it crashed and is curiously missing from the Help file. I'm not fussed about that bit. Could be useful if you've loads to type in but I doubt most folk will and I suspect it's more trouble than it's worth.
If you've used TaxCalc before it's more of the same (and none the worse for that) and it easily pulls last years details forwards and then you're off. You uninstall 2003 before you start.
So I'd recommend it as well worth £20. Probably still the only remaining sane part of the Intuit product set, given last years Quicken debacle. I await the first reviews of this years with baited breath.

Well I used Taxcalc to calculate my tax return and it all worked very well. Mine is fairly complex with Self-Employment earnings and the like but it all slipped into place.
NOW THE BAD BIT... they are scrapping it in 2005. I received a letter from Intuit saying it will no longer be supported and no 2005 version will be published so not much point in buying 2004 is there?
