Project, which aims to convert paper documents into digitised images and provide on-line and concurrent access to all documents in electronic form, was completed in March 2002.
Office Automation
The Department's workstation network continued to expand during the year. The total number of workstations rose to about 2,350 as at 31 March 2002. To gradually replace paper correspondence through greater use of e-mail communication, e-mail facilities were extended to some 1,350 officers.
Software asset management tools were also installed for ensuring the proper management and use of computer software in the Department. During the year, on-line enquiries and updating transactions totalled 28.2 million and 5.8 million respectively, while 16.8 million transactions were processed in batch mode.
Enhancement of Output Printing
A new mainframe printer capable of supporting cut-sheet, form overlay and multi- page document printing was put in production use in November 2001. In addition, a new Document Finishing System with collating, folding and multiple insertions of varying size capabilities was also installed in early 2002.

Submission of Employer's Return
Employers are encouraged to use electronic means (magnetic disks or CD-ROM) to furnish returns containing details of their employees' emoluments. During the year, some 33,000 employers furnished returns in this way in respect of some 1,790,000 employees. This represented an increase of more than 14%
over the previous year. Of the total, some 25,000 employers used the software developed by the Department to furnish returns in respect of some 800,000 employees. The IRD Software running on PC platform was also enhanced to cater for more operating system versions.
Electronic Lodgement of Returns
With effect from January 2001, the Department accepts the electronic filing of Tax Returns - Individuals and Property Tax Returns through the Electronic Service Delivery (ESD) Scheme. During the year, the take-up rate remained low. In view of this, the Department has enhanced the system functions and streamlined the input processes to enable more users to file their tax returns electronically in a more user-friendly manner.
