"Discrimination"
FinanzOnline: Senior citizens criticize planned hurdles
Senior citizens' representatives criticize the planned tightening of security standards at FinanzOnline. From October 1, it will only be possible to log in with 2-factor authentication, for example by using ID Austria.
Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen Both the Black Seniors' Association and the SPÖ-affiliated Pensioners' Association criticized on Thursday that older people would be disadvantaged by the measure.
"Case of age discrimination"
Peter Kostelka, President of the Pensioners' Association, sees a "clear case of age discrimination". "People who don't have a smartphone are simply being excluded here." In future, people will have to "laboriously request an L1 form from the tax office beforehand", "fill it out by hand and take it to the post office".
Authorities show willingness to talk
The criticism was echoed by Seniors' Association President Ingrid Korosec: "I have already taken action and held talks with the Ministry of Finance. The problem has been recognized there. There is a commitment to solve it in the interests of those affected."
