Tax authorities make a virtue out of necessity! After the fire in the tax office, the material damage to furniture and computer hardware is undoubtedly considerable. I understand that the data is stored electronically elsewhere, and backups have been made. However, piles of "papers" have been destroyed; I assume that this concerns in particular objections and requests for deferment of payment; in contrast to the returns that must be submitted electronically, these still have to be physically delivered on paper to the tax office.

I propose to make the need a virtue and to open up the possibility of allowing objections and requests for deferment of payment via e-mail (or via the already existing portals of taxpayers) if; the first in particular must be able to be realized quickly.

With this, from the moment of submission, these items can be stored - securely - digitally, people are prevented - at any new / temporary - location, this increases efficiency, saves trees and necessary storage space and will generally be ' reduce the cost of doing business on Curaçao.
