Virtual tax assistant TaxTim has recently celebrated coming in at number 1 on Google SA search results when typing in “SARS tax calculator”.
Of the achievment, TaxTim founder Evan Robinson says that while it wasn’t a direct goal of the company’s they are very pleased. “We try to always provide the best possible services and most relevant content regarding tax,” says Robinson, “but I guess the result is the same if people like what you are doing.
In addition TaxTim is also on a Google PageRank of 4/10 (SARS eFiling is 5/10) and is the number one result for the search “how to use efiling” too – above SARS own resources.
As for developments in the works, TaxTim will be releasing a new calculator in the next week or so and a new promotion just in time for the July tax season.
“We also do a lot of work with universities teaching students about tax via TaxTim, and as a result have found several qualified graduates who will help man our tax questions helpdesk from June onward,” says Robinson.
Other game-changing developments for the Cape Town based startup are in the works but not signed so TaxTim won’t be revealing any other updates just yet.
