GOVERNMENT LAUNCHES E-FILING SYSTEM

Released on June 11, 2001

Finance Minister Eric Cline and Minister Responsible for the Information

Highway Joanne Crofford officially launched today an e-filing system that

will cut red tape for Saskatchewan businesses.



Saskatchewan Electronic Tax System (SETS) allows businesses and third party

service providers, such as accounting firms, to file and pay provincial tax

returns over the Internet.



"Our government is committed to creating and maintaining a business-

friendly environment. This system, which is secure, fast, easy and

convenient, reduces the amount of time which business people will have to

spend on tax-related paperwork," Cline said.



SETS will allow businesses to file and pay the following tax returns:

Provincial Sales Tax (PST), Liquor Consumption Tax, Tobacco Tax, Fuel Tax,

Beverage Container Program, and Corporation Capital Tax (instalments

only). Measures are being taken to add Insurance Premiums Tax.



"Saskatchewan has always been ahead of its time and especially in making

this technology work for people. I am proud to say that SETS is the first

program of its kind in Canada. We hope it can be a prototype for other

jurisdictions," Crofford said.



SETS will operate on a pilot basis until September, when it will become

fully operational. Interested parties may access the SETS web site to

become familiar with the service and to obtain an application to become

SETS users. The web site is located at:
