Somewhere in the one I received it said it was in lieu of a paper tax
pack as I had submitted on paper previously. They would like people to
submit electronically, as it saves them reading the paper ones, they
have the group certificates, share dividend data, interest data
electronically so can match that electronically. Means that most
electronic returns, where the data matches and claim thresholds are not
exceeded, probably are not even seen by a human eye. Whereas paper ones
someone has to read. So while paper ones are still possible it is not
the easiest option for the ATO.
I will continue to submit on paper as the CD software was faulty, it did
not run on any of my Linux computers, even under wine.

Just received a communication from the Aust Tax Office - apparently
"hand delivered" ie not by Aust Post - addressed to my 85 year old
mother and advising her that she can submit her 2007-08 tax return using
the e-tax software on the enclosed CDRom.
I think that the communication and CDRom will be returned to the Tax
Dept , at thier expense, with a nice little note attached.
Anyone else received such a "package"?
