The last few years I filled in my tax forms electronically using www.TaxOnWeb.be and authenticated using a Token.

You can get a token card quickly (I got it within 2 or 3 days if I recall correctly, but I heard it’s not always that quick …), and it’s simple to use.

But since I received an electronic ID a few months ago I just acquired an eID reader. I found one from LogOn (found it at 14,95€ and 19,99€ in another shop).

The ReadMe file noted: supports Win 2000 SP4/Win 2003/XP SP2/VISTA 32-bit operating system, but I installed it on a Windows Vista Business 64bit PC without problems.

How to install the driver.  With administrator privileges:

• Do NOT connect the eID Reader yet
• Insert the driver CD
• Install the drivers (launch \installer.exe if it does not start automatically)
• On the dialog box This Program will be Run Smart Card Reader driver Install/Uninstall Process (YES/NO), Click Yes
• Click Finish to when the installation is done
• Then insert the USB cable of the Smart card Reader
• When the device is completely installed, remove the cable of the eID Reader again, for the installation of the eID software

Now go to http://eid.belgium.be/ to install the eID software. Just click on the eID quick install link (see below).

Run the file, and the installation wizard.

… continue the wizard …

Once this software is completely installed, you are ready to connect to TaxOnWeb using your eID.  Have your eID PIN code ready, connect  to www.taxonweb.be and give it a try
