There is another option, but it may cost you. I had a bit of whinge to the ATO just yesterday about the application running only on Windows. The clerk was sympathetic and mentioned this site: http://www.etax.com.au/ which apparently allows to submit your tax return online using the web. A tax agent then submits it to the ATO on your behalf. I still like the paper system. Takes me under an hour to fill in. If the ATO receives a paper return before mid July, they process it within a week or so. Anytime after that (I am told by the ATO) and they begin bogging down with a work overload. cheers rickw -- Rick Welykochy || Praxis Services || Internet Driving Instructor For every complex problem, there is a solution that is simple, neat, and wrong. -- H.L.

I was curious what on-line services are available.. my tax agent has 'net/ATO access to things about me that even I didn't know! Naturally I'm p-ed off that the ATO spends our money supporting Bill.

This was my experience with their E-BAS software back in 2000, first version worked, no support for upgrade. That was on Windows 95, I haven't bothered since.
