System requirements

TaxCalc for all firms

We recognise that practices in the UK come in all shapes and sizes.
That's why we offer a wide range of Unlimited and smaller pre-built packages to suit your client base.

There is no extra cost for the server options and both come with free, unlimited support.
 

Standalone

Suitable for startups and those working on their own:

  • Local database with option to store tax returns in your own file system or cloud storage (e.g. DropBox)*.
  • Designed for a single installation. For multiple standalone machines please contact our team on 0345 5190 883.
  • Available for Windows, Mac, and Linux.

 

* Note that tax returns stored outside of the database will not be included in backups. If you move a tax return file, you will be required to help TaxCalc relocate it.

Server

Suitable for multi-staff offices at one or more locations:

  • Central database to store and coordinate all your practice data in your office.
  • Easy to use installer. One option for the server (which will auto-configure itself to run as a service on your network) and another option for each of the computers on your network.
  • TaxCalc's server software is designed to run over modest, lightweight hardware. You don't even need a dedicated server. In simple setups, you just need to bless one computer on your network with the database and TaxCalc takes care of the rest.
  • TaxCalc's software is optimised to run over VPN, so connecting in from remote locations provides superb performance.
  • Concurrent user model means that you can install software on as many computers as you like.
  • Two concurrent users allowed out of the box with additional users available to buy at just £105 per user.
  • Back up all of your clients' accounts, tax returns and other practice records in one go.

If your practice's circumstances change, we can migrate you from the standalone version to the server version. Please call us on 0345 5190 883 to discuss.
