Electronic tax assessment has finally been a success according to the Inland Revenue. Twelve thousand self-assessment forms were filed this year compared to only 864 for the same period last year.

Jane Ashton, Inland Revenue spokeswoman, told Silicon News: "We honestly believe we have reached 100 per cent efficiency." The service, managed by EDS, acknowledges tax filings the next day and offers free modems as an incentive to accountants.

"There is no need to re-type the forms, because they are transferred electronically," Ashton said. "Tax returns are so much quicker and more accurate this way."
