Professional advice website unbiased.co.uk, the home of professional advice, today announces TaxCalc as its latest sponsor. TaxCalc will join unbiased.co.uk’s 19 existing sponsor companies, made up of product and services providers within the financial services industry, all supporting unbiased.co.uk’s campaign to promote the benefits of financial advice to consumers.
TaxCalc is an award winning tax and accountancy software company, providing market leading software to tens of thousands of customers across a range of professional advisers, companies and individual tax payers.
TaxCalc will also be supporting the professional advice website’s 21st annual Tax Action consumer campaign this year. The longstanding tax campaign highlights the amount of money wasted in tax by people not taking advantage of tax efficient products and tax breaks available to them.
This year’s report, due to launch mid-March, will focus on four key areas including ISAs, inheritance tax, capital gains tax and pension relief.
Tracy Ebdon-Poole, Chief Executive of TaxCalc said; “It’s our passion to make tax as easy to understand for people as humanly possible and we truly appreciate the fear and frustration felt by many where the complexities of tax and self-assessment are concerned. Our straightforward, easy to use, award-winning software helps people take control of their tax affairs and ensures they pay only what they owe. This is a fantastic campaign to be a part of, and we’re proud to be joining forces with unbiased.co.uk, as the number one professional advice portal. We look forward to working closely with them in the future as they continue their hard work of creating financial awareness and providing common sense solutions.“
Karen Barrett, Chief Executive of unbiased.co.uk said; “We’re thrilled to have TaxCalc on board to help us communicate to consumers the importance of financial planning and the role that professional advice plays within it. TaxCalc has a great track record of engaging consumers and businesses with tax planning and the company is a natural fit to not only support our wider consumer awareness campaign in general but also our Tax Action campaign in particular.
“As an organisation we believe our campaign has never been more important: the advice industry has gone through significant change over the last 12 months and needs to ensure that consumers remain engaged with the advice process. Our sponsor companies, together with those advisers on our database who upgrade their free listing to an enhanced advertising package, are all helping us to promote the importance of professional financial advice to consumers.”
Unbiased.co.uk is now in its 24th year and each year the professional advice portal fulfils around 450,000 consumer requests for details of regulated and highly qualified professional advisers.
