A Tech Hiccup Hits Tax Offices Across Multiple States
Significant technical glitch hits financial services - Severe technical disruption at financial offices
Hey there! You might've heard the buzz about various tax offices across different federal states in Germany dealing with a technical hiccup. This inconvenience is due to an outage with one of their service providers, letting down the offices in Schleswig-Holstein, Hamburg, Lower Saxony, Bremen, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, and Saxony-Anhalt, according to word from Kiel and Bremen.
Approximately 120 tax offices across these federal states are affected by this mishap, as per the Lower Saxony State Tax Office. Cyberattack? Nah, that's basically off the table, as it's all about the network communication. A spokesperson put it down to some technical gremlin in the works. Due to the outage, access to tax procedure software is currently inaccessible, so processing tax returns and objections is pretty much on hold at the moment.
The lifespan of this tech glitch is anyone's guess at this point.
In the meantime, citizens can only get their hands on general tax information from the ministries, as specific tax-related questions can't be answered. However, submitting tax returns via Elster is still an option. The end date of this outage is still up in the air, too.
To give you an insight, restarts of the servers have sparked some restoration of functions, but it's not back to full strength yet, claims the spokesperson for the Lower Saxony State Tax Office.
For the tech-savvy out there, it's a network comms issue. For everyone else, it means our tax returns might have to take a holiday. If you're curious about the nitty-gritty or want to know when we'll be back to business as usual, give your local tax office a ring or check their official website. Stay tuned for updates!
