Who each one suits

Worth knowing

TaxCalc

  • Prices are in pounds, UK only, banded by client numbers; practices above 1,000 clients are sold through sales.
  • The pricing page does not say whether prices include VAT; the product page says 'per year'.
  • Mixed tax return bundles are sold through sales; accounts production, VAT and MTD filers are separate products.
  • CloudConnect cloud hosting is a paid add-on; Windows, Mac and Linux support comes from the page's structured data, not a visible requirements page.

TaxDome

  • Pricing could not be read: the vendor's site answered with a bot check, so no plans or prices are listed here.
  • Clients need their accountant to sign up for TaxDome before they can use the client portal app.
  • The mobile apps listed here are for iPhone and iPad; no Android listing was read.
