ZDNet Australia has received reports that the ATO servers have been flooded with last-minute applications, and have almost completely collapsed under the strain. Today is the deadline for businesses and individuals to file tax returns for the 2001/2002 financial year. A mere two days ago the ATO was expressing confidence it's servers would handle the load.
This morning spokespeople were extolling the virtues of patience.
The ATO is full of sH*T, I've been trying for days and the idiots are still saying it's o.k!
ahhh, I have been trying to lodge my return for approx 4 hours... and have been receivign a range of time out/ATO server type problems.
Its not straining under the demand, its broken!
