Basilea deve acquistare l’indirizzo Internet nelle Bahamas dopo l’incidente

AI summary:
Due to a typo on an information flyer, the Basel-Stadt tax administration had to purchase a web address in the Bahamas. The flyer, sent to over 100,000 households, instructed taxpayers to register at “www.eSteuern.BS/private”, omitting the “.ch” at the end. This led to the URL pointing to the Bahamas instead of Basel-Stadt, as “.bs” is the country code for the Bahamas. To rectify this without incurring the estimated CHF 100,000 cost of reprinting the flyers, the tax administration opted to buy the incorrect domain for CHF 900 and set up a redirect to the correct site. No user data is transferred in this process; it simply links to the correct page.
