The annual income tax declaration can also be submitted on paper,
but the VAT advance notice, which businesses have to submit monthly,
has to be done online beginning this month. Very small businesses who
do not have a computer at all, may be exempted.

Sure, that can be done interactively, too, where the forms and
processing logic is provided by the bank. But I'm talking about actual
software, which runs on _my_ computer, and which communicates with the
bank not via online forms made for interactive use, but by its own
protocol, program to program, not human to remote computer.
