Kudos for the Dutch IRS |
|
The Dutch IRS is switching to the Internet for filing VAT and other tax returns for businesses. I just filed my first VAT return for one of my (small) companies and I have to admit they did a swell job!
Although the application is not very difficult (fill in a bunch of numbers on a few forms) it works Just Right (tm). They even left the Internet Explorer only path! According to their leaflet they support Netscape (6.2), Mozilla, Safari and Opera as well! And at the end of the process you get a nice PDF which contains your return and can be printed (paper trails rule! :-)

Flops |

For many years I have been a subscriber of The Economist: a British current affairs magazine that is so good it almost defies description. One of the things that to me is a mark of their quality is the fact that when they are writing about stuff that I know a lot about (IT, Internet, Holland) it is always concise, clear, well-written, to the point and, above all, true.
They have humour too. For instance the October 2nd issue contained this little news snippet:
America edged ahead in its tussle with Japan to develop the world's fastest supercomputer. IBM claimed that Blue Gene had surpassed the previous claimant to the title, NEC's Earth Simulator with a working speed of 36.01 teraflops. Most computers flop only intermittently.
