How to tag H&R Block, a tax preparation service?

1

H&R Block is a company where you get help to prepare your tax forms. How should I tag that?

Name: H$R Block Office/shop: Tax ?

Note that taginfo shows more shop=tax than office=tax... I didn't expect that. What about office: accountant? That would be simple but it's not exactly right.

What's wrong with "office=accountant" for this kind of business?

office=tax sounds better; you could go there for tax services, not to 'buy a tax'. The 'office=' tag group was created after shop= , and that's likely why there are more shop=tax than office=tax.

n my opinion office=tax should be reserved for government tax offices not for tax accountants or tax advisors even though they have offices
