Have you ever felt bothered and time-consuming when doing personal income tax (PIT) refund procedures? Don’t worry, from 2025, the PIT refund process will be fully automated, helping you receive your tax refund quickly in just 3 days!

Automated PIT Refund – A Breakthrough Step

The General Department of Taxation has just issued decision No. 108 on the process of automated PIT refund for taxpayers who directly finalize tax. This process includes 3 simple steps:

Step 1: Create and receive the suggested PIT finalization tax return

The system will automatically create a suggested PIT finalization tax return based on your declaration data, tax registration data, dependent information, tax obligations, and debts (if any). You can easily check the information on this declaration through the eTax Mobile application of the General Department of Taxation. If you agree with the suggested information, confirm and submit the finalization dossier right on the application. In case of discrepancies, you can edit the information, add reasons for the difference, and submit the dossier with supporting documents.

Step 2: Settle the automated PIT refund

The system will automatically create and send a notice of receipt of the electronic tax return and a notice of receipt of the refund request dossier to you immediately after receiving the tax finalization dossier. The automatic refund request dossier will also be created immediately afterward.

Step 3: Process the refund

Eligible refund dossiers will be automatically processed by the system within 3 working days. The refund will be transferred directly to your bank account.

Conditions for automatic PIT refund:

The paying organization has completed the obligation to pay personal income tax deducted or the total personal income tax of the finalization period has been fully paid by you to the budget. The total taxable income must match the aggregated data in the tax finalization period according to the tax management database of the tax industry at the time of dossier settlement. The total tax amount requested for refund must be less than or equal to the aggregated data in the tax finalization period according to the tax management database of the tax industry at the time of dossier settlement. Your refund receiving account information has been verified and linked to the tax management database of the tax industry.
