Seven in ten wage earners and pensioners made no changes to their tax return and chose not to submit it in 2013. There was an increase in electronic submission among those who submitted tax returns, with seven out of ten wage earners and pensioners submitting electronically.

Fewer seek guidance and information

Telephone calls to the Tax Hotline are declining with the growing use of electronic solutions. The number of telephone enquiries has been falling since 2008, and 2013, with a fall of 2 per cent from the previous year, was no exception. However, the proportion of answered telephone calls rose and 83 per cent of the telephone calls concerning tax returns and tax withholding cards for wage earners and pensioners were answered.

Fewer complaints

The number of complaints about tax settlements has been decreasing every year since 2010. The Tax Administration received scarcely 80 000 complaints about tax assessments in 2013, 90 per cent of which were processed within three months.
