PTP personal tax and corporation tax products top latest ICAEW IT in accountancy practices Survey 2007.

The PTP personal tax and corporation tax software products, PTP Tax Return and PTP CT Platform, have achieved remarkable results in the latest ICAEW research into IT usage in accountancy practices. PTP Tax Return comes top in the survey of personal taxation software scoring 91 points out of a possible 100 and PTP CT Platform scores 88 points, just missing the number one position by 1 point. Both products appear in the ICAEW ‘Software Leaders Chart’.

The report states that PTP Tax Return ‘continues to perform strongly in all categories. It has no reported critical business failures’. It secures the top overall satisfaction rating of 91; a full 20 points ahead of the lowest rated product; LKA Objective Tax (Keytime). PTP Tax Return is top in terms of performance, ease of use and on-going support. 97% of users said they would recommend it.

PTP CT Platform is also said to ‘perform strongly in all categories’. It secures the second highest satisfaction rating of 88 and is top in terms of ongoing service, performance and reliability. 93% of those using the software would recommend it.

In terms of market share, PTP software is shown to be one of only two suppliers of personal taxation software that have grown their market share in the last two years. Other key suppliers: Digita, Sage and MYOB have all suffered a fall in their share of the market.

In the 16 years since PTP was founded, we have built an excellent reputation for our expertise in the tax software market focusing primarily on small practices and sole practitioners. The aim is to provide software that meets accountants’ ever changing requirements backed by the highest quality technical support and customer service. The PTP portfolio comprises compliance products and added value software for planning purposes e.g. company cars, IHT and CGT.
