MicroTax 1982/83

ZX Computing

THE TAX COMETH If you haven't got around to that most dreaded of all tasks, working out your tax for the year, here could be the answer for you. Consisting of a series of programs on tape accompanied by a comprehensive manual, Microtax is claimed to be the first easy to use microcomputer system for completing tax returns. In addition to calculation of tax liabilities, Microtax also provides Spectrum users with all the details to be filled in on the 1983/4 tax return (which is the return of the income for the tax year 1982/3 and a claim for allowances for the tax year 1983/4). For those with their own printer, Microtax even provides a printout of all the relevant details so that they can be attached to the return. Microtax was first developed by Tax and Financial Planning Ltd and took nine months of professional accountancy time and the equivalent of two person-years of program time to develop. The first Microtax package is an income tax system for 1982/3, but there will be a 1983/4, version of the program available in Autumn 1983. Also, in 1983, complimentary systems will be available dealing in more detail with the taxation of business and professional income and a third system to cover Capital Gains Tax. Microtax is available for £24.94 (including postage and packing) from Microtax Ltd, [redacted]. Telephone enquiries can be made on [redacted].
