Refund of overpaid tax initiated by the tax administrator

Main information

If you are entitled to a refund of the overpayment, the tax administrator will return the overpayment to you without a refund request.

Without applying for a return of the overpayment, you will be refunded, for example, the over-deduction of value added tax, the interest paid by the tax administrator or the amount of the tax security paid on the basis of a hedge command.

This applies to you if

The tax office is recording a refundable overpayment of tax in your personal tax account, which is refunded without an application.
