Revenue will conduct scheduled system maintenance on Saturday 22 of November from 13:00 to 21:00.
During this period, ROS (Revenue Online Service) may experience some disruption.
If you experience difficulty in using ROS during this period, we suggest using the signature page upload option on CORE as an alternative, or to try again at a later stage.
CORE will be unavailable for a short period of time on Sat 22 of November – from 14:00 to 14:30. Please save your work before this time.
We apologise for any inconvenience that these disruptions to service may cause.

There are four days left in the Peak Filing period for the CRO. During the month of November up until the 25th of November, over fifty thousand Annual Returns are typically submitted through CORE.
As Annual Return submission levels will continue to rise the closer we get to the 25th, the number of users accessing and using CORE will also increase, which can result in:
– A slower system during periods of high use.
– Long waiting room/waiting times to access CORE.
– A higher likelihood of technical issues occurring.
– A higher likelihood of a late return occurring.
The CRO’s ICT Support Services will be available to assist you during this period, but we will be experiencing an increased level of demand for assistance, which may impact on our response times.
We would strongly encourage you to file now, if you can, do not leave it until the last minute.
