TaxDown vs TaxFreeway

TaxDown lets people prepare and submit Spanish income tax returns online from a phone or computer. It is available on Android, iOS, and web, and can import tax details using Cl@ve PIN, a digital certificate, or a reference number. Its Rita engine selects applicable questions and checks more than 250 deductions and allowances; an expert reviews each return before submission. The service covers employment income, self-employment, rental income, investments, and tax notices. For rentals, it calculates income and expenses and identifies deductible costs and exemptions; for investments, it calculates gains and losses and integrates investment platforms. The Free plan calculates a result but does not include expert review or filing. PRO costs €35 a year and includes one return, expert review, filing, and basic support. LIVE costs €45 a year and adds advisers by chat or WhatsApp; FULL costs €65 a year and adds a personal adviser and review of the last four returns. FULL is unavailable under the regional tax regime and excludes traceability and second residence-procedure filings.

TaxFreeway prepares Canadian federal, provincial, and territorial tax returns for individual filers. It supports self-employment, rental income, capital gains, and unlimited slips such as T3, T4, and T5. Returns can be completed in Interview mode, Form mode, or both. Tools include integrated spousal returns, tax tips, RRSP and split-pension planners, medical-expense and donation planners, and a return review. CRA services include Auto-fill My Return, NETFILE, ReFILE, Notice of Assessment through Tax Software Service, and address or direct-deposit changes. Returns are prepared and saved on the user’s computer, and the company says its website does not store personal financial information. Users with total family income of $20,000 or less can prepare and NETFILE at no cost. Windows and Mac product keys cover up to 20 returns for the current tax year, priced at 9.95 USD and $14.95, paid once. Quebec TP-1 returns and several electronic form transmissions are excluded.
