A popular record keeping system used by many carers has been the tax office’s free
tax program, E-Record. Earlier this year the tax office announced that E-Record
will no longer be available from 1 July 2010. The tax office also stated that all
support for the product will cease from 30 September 2010.

What this means is that the tax office is only going to provide e-record support
for you to complete your 2009/2010 tax return up until 30 September. You will still
be permitted to use E-Record if you already have it installed on your computer after
this date, however there will be no updates and if you encounter any issues with
your data no support will be provided. For these reasons the tax office has stated
that you should not use e-Record for your 2011 income year records.
If this decision impacts upon you it is now time to consider your future software
