Complicated start but now satisfied

Over 20 of our customers are registered with Hellotax. In the beginning, we had very big problems, which were caused by miscommunication. We would have liked to get more information from Hellotax. But we should have asked more from us as well. After we openly and honestly communicated our dissatisfaction to Hellotax, they took it very seriously and made a lot of effort to help us. We also got another account manager who tries very hard and gets back to us in a timely manner. A few months ago we would not have recommended Hellotax to anyone, however we can do so again with a clear conscience. Of course there are always things that can be improved, but Hellotax is also open to all suggestions and takes criticism and improvements very much to heart.

PROS

The software is very easy to use! Most of it you can teach yourself or learn in a short meeting with Hellotax.

CONS

Some things could be less error-prone. Sometimes you get error messages. However, these are usually fixed quickly or you quickly get feedback on how to solve the problem.

Reason for choosing hellotax

Hellotax offered to find a special solution for us and programmed us something that makes it much easier to operate everything.

Reasons for switching to hellotax

Because they could not give us the service which we needed and the software is not useable for our needs.

Vendor Response

Hello, Thank you for partnering with us and for taking the time to share your feedback! We appreciate it and we'll use it to improve our service. Best regards, hellotax

Horrible horrible experience

As described above, this is a terrible company that really needs to be put out of its misery for all the chaos and suffering they inflict on their users. As long as these users do not check up on them and understand that big mistakes are made they'll feel fine and happy. But sooner or later the situation will explode. They are one of the cheapest in this line of business, but you get what you pay for. Bad advice, horrible service and no idea of what they are doing. I urge anyone considering going to these people to really stay away from them.

PROS

The price was one of the lowest when I was comparing them to the other options and they offered fiscal representation. I needed that as a non-EU business, so my options were limited.

CONS

- Letters from tax offices delivered after 6 months if at all. This leads to problems and fines escalating. - Mistakes are made with settings. This company for example did not take into account that in order to charge VAT to the destination country, you first need to either breach the distance selling threshold to that country or you need to inform the local tax office that you will lift the thresholds. They never bothered to do that for any of their customers and just went ahead charging destination country VAT everywhere. This means A LOT of the tax returns they file have been incorrect since they started. They also quite bluntly refuse to correct them. As the customer it is YOUR problem and they really do not care about you. - For most of the mistakes they make, they will try to charge you a fee of £200-250 or €200-250 (the amount and currency kind of change a lot). Fines that are sent by a tax office are on you, even if it was their mistake. - When you make it clear to them that you are not going to pay anything anymore until they fix the problems they created, they will abandon you and ignore you. - They do not generate invoices for transactions, which meant I had to use another company for those. In the mean time I guess Amazon is doing that. - Many mistakes with zero-rated zones like the Canary Islands, where they happily charged Spanish VAT.
