Our analysis

Why choose TaxMate?

Software does nothing for you

e-Boekhouden gives you a digital environment to keep your administration, but it does not do the work for you. Filling in VAT returns, calculating income tax, preparing annual accounts: you do all that yourself. Or you hire an accountant separately, on top of your software subscription. TaxMate takes all that work off your hands.

Lower real costs than you think

At first glance, e-Boekhouden seems cheaper: software from €12 per month. But also factor in the time you spend on your administration, plus the cost of an external accountant for tax filings. That combination quickly adds up to €80 to €150 per month.

No accounting knowledge required

e-Boekhouden requires basic accounting knowledge. At TaxMate you do not need that. You upload your receipts and bank details in MyTaxMate and your personal point of contact does the rest, correctly and proactively.

Everything in one place, for one price

With TaxMate you have one point of contact, one portal, and one invoice. No separate subscriptions, no external accountant who does not know how your software works. MyTaxMate is built for your accountant and vice versa, so documents, transactions, and processing come together seamlessly.
