Pune-based Link Software launches Taxationdesk.com

Are you always stressed out by taxation problems? Is it next to impossible to

meet tax deadlines? Are you moving from pillar to post to access correct advice?

You need no longer fret over these issues. Just long onto www.taxationdesk.com

and your problems could well be solved.

At a time when almost all dotcoms are going bust, the Pune-based Link

Software and Systems Pvt. Ltd has launched yet another portal called

taxationdesk in association with the tax consulting firm Shantilal Shah to reach

out to harried tax payers.

The launch of Taxationdesk comes close on the heels of the success of their

popular portal www.indiaart.com, a site which has been attempting to popularize

Indian arts and crafts through the web.

Link Software has been in the business of providing IT services, solutions

and consulting to a wide customer base in India and abroad. The company has

developed portals and has helped organizations harness the power of the net with

their ERP and CRM solutions

"Taxationdesk was conceived with the idea and strong belief that

Internet can act as a big enabler in reaching out to a large number of people

and organisations, who may not find it easy to have access to tax consultants.

The portal has very specific and focussed content and a clear revenue

model," Milind Sathe, managing director, Link Software Systems and

Solutions explained.

Taxationdesk has been registered as a separate company with Link Software

holding the minority stake. Shantilal Shah will take care of the domain

knowledge while Link Software will be the technology partner in this joint

venture.

The portal includes information on schedules, notifications, circulars, all

DDQs, Bare Act and Rules and all amendments, facility to search for tax rates,

schedules entries, notifications, download and print functions, calculation of

Income Tax returns, TDS, service tax and sales tax returns, procedures and

penalties, online consultation and extra cost, decisions of high courts on

commodities, order online various in-house and other publications on taxation,

special offers for tax-saving investments and a special tax calendar to remind

customers about tax dates.

Sathe is banking on the subscriptions from customers to bring in revenues and

hopes to make a profit in the first year of operations. In the next few months,

we will launch the portal in other towns of Maharashtra and have ambitious plans

of reaching out to the customer nationally, he said

Besides expanding beyond Maharashtra, Sathe is also hoping to add value by

addressing opportunities that would come from increased bandwidth. This could

include video conferencing.

Sathe expects individuals, small firms, corporates and tax consultants to

register with the site to get their problems solved even if they are not

net-savvy.
