<> <> <> ## This is specific to Australia? It may be more appropriate for an Australian LoCo wiki E-tax is software made by the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) that enables Australian employers/employees and taxpayers to lodge their tax return online. Being a Windows program, it does not run natively on Ubuntu so you'll need to either use Wine or a VirtualBox set-up to run e-tax on Ubuntu. You will need to grab the latest Windows version of e-tax from the ATO's website - http://www.ato.gov.au/Individuals/Lodging-your-tax-return/E-tax/ The latest version of e-tax as of writing was e-tax 2013. == E-tax on Ubuntu using Wine == To use e-tax on Ubuntu, you'll need to install Wine. Wine can be use to run Windows programs on Ubuntu. To install Wine, either run: ''sudo apt-get install wine'' Or open up the Ubuntu Software Centre and search for Wine - it's in the universe repository. You'll be likely to have better success if you're using a recent version of Ubuntu, namely 11.04 or 11.10, due to the Wine version being much more current. The Wine application database reports that you need to install msxml4: ''winetricks msxml4'' Once you have installed Wine, you should be able to open the .msi etax2011 file you downloaded by right-clicking it and selecting, "Open with Wine Windows Program Loader" If Wine does not run the program properly, you can also try using the command - msiexec /i etax2011_1.msi == Links == [[http://www.winehq.org|Wine's homepage]] [[http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=28504|Wine App Database - e-tax]] [[http://www.ato.gov.au/individuals/pathway.aspx?sid=42&pc=001/002/014|E-tax website - general e-tax information]]
