FinTaxPlus
FinTaxPlus software from Softbyte Computers
Established in 1983, we have been in the business of producing premier software for financial consultants for 38 years. Many tens of thousands of individual financial consultants have chosen to use our software over the years. Our financial planning and tax software have also been chosen for use, under license agreement, by many of the very largest life assurance companies and financial institutions over the years.
Besides calculators to help with investment and financial planning, FinTaxPlus also features calculators for personal tax. Bookkeepers, accountants and financial advisors may steer clear of actually submitting tax returns for their clients but their clients are always asking them questions about tax matter such as Capital Gains Tax, PAYE deductions, taxation of retirement lump sums, travel allowance claims, the saving advantages to be had from contributing to Retirement Funds, medical aid funds etc. These are the same same tax calculators found in our acclaimed WinTax tax assessment software. FinTaxPlus offers easy-to-use calculators to turn your pc into an expert on these subjects. In addition, the actual FinTaxPlus program offers dozens of accredited video lectures explaining everything the user would want to know about these subjects, how all the FinTaxPlus calculators work and how to use the calculators to get the most out of different investment products.

Click on the buttons below to watch short videos regarding some of FinTaxPlus calculators (average video runtime 1-minute each). New, and extra, options and calculators are added regularly for free download for FinTaxPlus users. NOTE that these short videos, below, merely show the calculator screens and explain what the calculators will do for you. The actual FinTaxPlus program offers access to dozens of comprehensive video lectures explaining, using detailed examples, exactly how each product works, how the calculators work and how the calculators can be used to save you time and increase your business. The videos require that you have sound. If your computer doesn’t have speakers then use your cell phone ear-bud speakers plugged into the green jack on your computer.

All FinTaxPlus calculators and options allow you to print reports either directly to your printer or you can export the reports to any other WINDOWS program, such as WORD etc, where the reports may be edited in any way you like and even attached to an email.
The CGT calculator in FinTaxPlus has received acclaim from many quarters. Property and tax lawyers have praised it’s accuracy and ease-of-use. The CGT calculator, alone, is worth more than the modest annual license fee charged for the whole FinTaxPlus program! Download and install a copy of FinTaxPlus, ask us for a free-trial activation code and see for yourself. If you decide that FinTaxPlus does not suite your needs then simply delete it and it will have cost you nothing!
The worst thing that could happen is that the FinTaxPlus program will save you time, make your life easier and make you more money!
If, after the trial period, you would like to continue using FinTaxPlus then the license fee is only EIGHT HUNDRED RAND A YEAR(incl.VAT). That is R800 a year and NOT R800 a month! Similar programs out there are 10 times more expensive than FinTaxPlus and they don’t even have FinTaxPlus’s time-saving and money-making calculators and features features! Note that the cost of FinTaxPlus is also fully tax-deductible which means that SARS will actually be paying a good portion of the cost of FinTaxPlus for you! How can you lose? Paying annually means if you retire, emigrate or if you no longer need the software then you simply stop your annual renewals and you are not stuck with having paid a huge amount upfront for something you no longer use! You are effectively only paying for the time you use the program! If FinTaxPlus helps you close just one deal then it will have paid for itself many times over.
FinTaxPlus also includes quotation calculators for R/A, Unit Trusts etc investment products PLUS “user-friendly and simple-to-use-and-understand” needs analyses for death, disability and retirement-planning including policy schedules etc. A full save/retrieve database is included. FinTaxPlus has everything a financial consultant would want!
Note that a special customised version of FinTaxPlus, without these quotation and FNA/database options, is available.
Note that all client data, policy data and FNA data saved in the old SoftFin program can be easily imported into the FinTaxPlus program.
