My tax refund was used to cover a tax, but I also paid the tax myself. What should I do?

If you paid your tax on the due date but at the same time, the Tax Administration used a refund to cover the tax, the payment you made will be paid back to you in approximately one week. This requires that we have your bank account number on record, and that no other amounts are due – no upcoming instalments of the same tax and no other types of taxes you would need to pay.

If the tax you paid was a self-assessed tax, the way you receive your payment back depends on what you have selected as your ‘refund time’ and ‘refund limit’ in MyTax. Read more about refunds of self-assessed taxes. If you have selected that your payments should be used to pay for upcoming self-assessed taxes, you can request your payment to be paid back to you. See the instructions: How to change selections relating to refunds of self-assessed taxes in MyTax.
