The ASX-listed reseller responsible for supporting and maintaining the Australian Taxation Office’s e-tax software, DWS (ASX:DWS), has claimed the software and its services are running perfectly.

Australians that claim their tax returns have been delayed in a backlog are wrong, according to a spokesperson from the Australia Taxation Office (ATO).

The Australian Taxation Office(ATO) is suffering from severe e-tax backlogs due to the introduction of a new system with HECS-HELP debt and Centrelink benefit receivers suffering the most, according to an ATO source.
