It really depends on what you mean. "Tax and Insurance Services" implies that they are separate entities, which I think is what you mean in this case, and is also the correct usage for "or". To give examples in context;
'The Tax and Insurance services have merged into one new Tax and Insurance Service.'
'Tax or Insurance services are available from our "Tax or Insurance Service"'.
'The Tax and Insurance services have merged into one new Tax and Insurance Service.'
'Tax or Insurance services are available from our "Tax or Insurance Service"'.
