Sounds like a good idea.. I am wondering who is targeted by this system?
Individuals, corporations..?

Hi,
As some might know the URA is switching to an online system for filing your
taxes. Very commendable, i hope it will help them with their efficiency.
Unfortunatly, there are a few issues when trying to use the system when using
openoffice and firefox.
the site is http://www.ura.go.ug
Some are small things, for example, the datepicker used when you create an
account shows a bit funny in firefox.
More difficult is the Excell spreadsheet that you have to download, fill in and
post back. We don't have a copy of excell, but in openoffice we see a LOT of
vbscript and we get some very funny errors
For example the check on some fields is not checking for a Number between 0 and
XXXXX, but it is checking for "more than 0 and less than 15 characters"
OpenOffice thinks that Numbers are no characters, so "60000" is invalid, but
"60000abc" is. I dont think that is what the check should do.
As Linux and FOSS community, what would you suggest is the way forward in
helping the URA to support people in Uganda that choose to use free software?
