Nichola's SME News Update: 21 October 2009

This Practical Tax Database and new webservice is now live.
The service has been in development for the last six months, and it reflects twenty years of tax and accounting know-how.
We are all very proud of it and believe it offers a unique online service. I very much hope that you will sign up and enjoy it too. Of course all feedback is welcome as the service is being constantly revised and updated.


Kind regards
