Online tax return system falters
The director of government's technical services has apologised to members of the public for problems with the online tax return system - on the first day of the new tax year.
Users keen to get their returns in early can fill their forms online from 6 April - but there were problems and delays today for many of those logging on.
A system upgrade for a number of internet services at the weekend is thought to have triggered the glitches.
Technical Services Director Mark Lewin has apologised to all affected - and admits the timing of the service interruption was unfortunate:

Warmer than average May for Island
Increased DfE support 'to tackle rising costs and global pressures'
Police appeal after two motorcycles involved in collision
Childcare Credit payments to increase
Manx Care advice to those on Depo-Provera injection
