I want to fill up tax returns.
I have registered for E-services. I need my account to activity please.
I need a password for my BURS registration.
I have registered for E-services and was given a password. When trying it requires a password. But the password that I used is for the user name that I registered with. I tried to re-register and I received a note that I have already registered. Should I wait for the form to be submitted before that I can login using the password that was sent to me on 12/09/2016?
