OzHub, the Macquarie Telecom-led cloud computing alliance, has come down firmly on the side of Optus over the copyright controversy surrounding Optus TV Now, warning that any moves to change the law "risk branding Australia a global luddite state."
A growing number of taxpayers are using the Australian Taxation Office's e-tax online tax return preparation facility.
But not everyone's comfortable doing their own return, so many people use an accountant or tax agent to handle the process.
Now there's a middle course. H&R Block - a familiar name thanks to its network of more than 350 offices around Australia - now offers a new online service.
Clients can prepare their tax returns online and have it checked by an H&R Block accountant before it is lodged with the ATO. This service costs a flat $A49.
"The online tax program is occupational-based, which takes people through the work related expenses that are common to their occupation and helps ensure they receive all they are entitled to," said Frank Brass, regional director at H&R Block.
The company also has an established service involving an online interview (much like consulting an H&R Block tax agent without visiting the office), after which the company handles the preparation and lodgement. Prices start at $A110.
