The World of Simple Software For Small Business Taxes

With tax season upon us, as a small business owner, you might find that your accounting software really isn't taking care of your taxes the way you wish it would. Well, there is so much competition in the market for software for small business taxes that it's quite likely that you will find a better option out there. From mere apps for phones and tablets it to full-blown tax software for the computer, you'll find that tax software companies are totally anxious to meet your needs. You don't even have to worry about how to make the move to a new tool. Most of them offer you plenty of easy ways to do this.

As you look through the choices available to you in software for small business taxes, you'll find that a disproportionate number of software vendors come from Europe - around Britain, especially. Let's take a look.

Free Agent, for instance, is a Scotland-based vendor of software for small business taxes. It's very informative program that actually teaches you about small business taxes as you use it. The user interface couldn't be simpler, either. It's a simple tab-based system that lets you quickly switch among your estimates, your expenses, your billing, your bank data and so on. You can create expense reports, pull up invoices and so on. It's pretty affordable too at $20 a month. You just have to consider how the software requires that you be quite conversant with accounting techniques.

Yendo, like Free Agent, is from Europe, this time from Ireland. It's a very simple and easy-to-use application that's  especially built for smartphones and tablets. The small size of the devices that they run on doesn't mean that these are not serious applications. This app has some pretty powerful analytical features. Not only is it easy to use, it's easy to understand, too. You can use the free version, if you have very limited needs. Anything about five invoices a month though, and it'll cost you $50 month.

From the Old World to the world Down Under, Xero is a program from the land of the Kiwi (the bird, and the fruit). This software from New Zealand will give you some pretty deep features to help you understand your small business taxes. It'll throw up all kinds of graphs and other statistical expressions. Well it's pretty affordable at $20 a month. But you might want to look elsewhere if you're not really conversant with accounting protocols.

And finally, from closer home, the Canadian company Kashoo  has a completely deep feature set and it's accounting package. From check printing to bookkeeping and statistical analysis, it's about the most powerful tool you can hope for.
