TaxCalc · Wokingham, England, UK · founded 1983
What it is
TaxCalc is accounting software for UK tax compliance, client management, and practice operations. Its products prepare personal, partnership, trust, and company tax returns, along with statutory accounts. Self Assessment users can follow SimpleStep guidance or switch to HMRC-style forms, with real-time calculations and a Check & Finish review before submission. Tax products submit directly to HMRC, while Accounts Production files statutory accounts to Companies House. Accounts Production can import year-end trial balances from Xero, QuickBooks, or FreeAgent and export journals and adjustments, although integrations differ between products. TaxCalc supports self-employment and investment income but does not provide state filing. It runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows; mobile access is web-only. Pricing is paid from £42, with a free trial and no free plan. Listed options include £42 per year for Individual 6, £9 per month for Engager Practice Management, and £164 per year for Accounts Production 12.
