General information

E-tax may not work on operating systems or browsers other than those recommended by the Tax Office that have been tested to comply with our security and privacy requirements. If you choose to use an operating system or browser that is not recommended by us, you may experience problems using e-tax.

E-tax is not compatible with Linux or Apple Macintosh computers. However, e-tax has been tested successfully on an Apple computer running OS X v10.4.11 with Virtual PC 7 software emulating a recommended Windows operating system. Some Linux users have reported success using 'Wine', but we have not tested this. Wine is a translation layer (a program loader) capable of running Windows applications on Linux and other POSIX compatible operating systems.

We are committed to providing you with easier, cheaper and more personalised service. Part of this initiative is a commitment to the continuous improvement of e-tax. We will continue investigating ways to make e-tax available on different computer platforms.
