Tax office IT failure forces massive refiling

Some 400,000 companies will have to resubmit payroll details to the tax office because of software problems, NOS reports on Thursday.


The chaos has been caused because software supposed to make it easier for firms to file payroll details electronically does not work properly, NOS says.
The tax office needs the information to calculate if workers are entitled to social security premium rebates or extra payouts to help with health insurance or housing costs.
The Walvis law, which was supposed to simplify the process, was introduced at the beginning of 2006.
