Tech Hiccup Leaves Tax Offices in a Pickle
Disruption in Operational Functions at Financial Institutions - Significant technical disruption at financial institutions' hubs
Hey there! Quick heads up, the tax offices in Schleswig-Holstein, Hamburg, Lower Saxony, Bremen, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, and Saxony-Anhalt are in a bit of a jam right now. A hiccup in the system, or as they call it, an outage, with a service provider is causing problems.
According to the folks at Lower Saxony’s State Tax Office, around 120 tax offices across several states are experiencing this snag. No signs point to a cyberattack as the culprit - it's all about the network communication, a spokesperson explained. Due to this outage, accessing the tax procedure software is out of the question, making it impossible to process tax returns and objections at the moment.
As for the length of this tech snafu, it's anybody's guess. Citizens in these states can still swing by the offices for general tax chats, but since the servers are down, no specific tax queries can be answered, and electronic tax submissions via Elster are still an option.
Restarts of servers have partially restored functions, but alas, a definite resolution time is yet to be announced. Hopefully, the wait won't be too long!
