You have not yet received your tax assessment notice (tax calculation note), but would like to know now whether you should expect to pay additional tax or receive a tax refund? At the moment, two of our tools can help you find out: However, you will only find the final amount you will have to pay or be refunded in your tax assessment notice.
You have submitted your tax return and would like to know when you will receive your refund? The date of your refund depends on the date on which you receive your tax assessment notice (tax calculation note). Please note: do not mistake the tax assessment notice for the
proposed simplified return (a pre-filled tax return based on the information we know about your situation so that you do not have to fill in a tax return yourself). Whether your proposed simplified return (or your ordinary return) is still being processed or whether your tax assessment notice is already available, you can keep track of it on
the MyMinfin platform, under the heading “Ma déclaration/My return - Ma proposition de
déclaration simplifiée/My proposed simplified return”. As soon as the tax assessment notice is ready, you will find it, like your previous tax assessment notices, under the heading “Mes documents/My documents” of MyMinfin. Therefore, it is normal that you haven’t yet obtained any refund. We can only
refund you once we have converted your tax return (or your proposed simplified return) into a tax assessment notice. We have until June 30th 2021 (for income of 2019) to do that. You will receive the refund two months after the tax assessment notice (so August 31st 2021 at the latest). In the meantime, don't forget to check that your bank account number is correct on
MyMinfin and to
give us your bank account number if necessary. The month in which we will reimburse you is mentioned on your tax assessment notice (not to be mistaken for
a proposed simplified return). We will refund on the following dates: Please bear in mind that it may take several days before the refund is present on your bank account. No, we cannot refund your taxes sooner than expected. You will receive a tax refund on time if you receive it by the end of the second month after you receive your tax assessment notice (tax calculation note). Example: if you receive your tax assessment notice on January 15th 2021, you should receive your tax refund by March 31st 2021. Did you receive your tax
assessment notice more than two months ago and you haven’t yet received your tax refund? Here are some of the reasons why you may not receive your tax refund on time. We have refunded you on the wrong bank account number: Find out

If this is the case, we will send you a letter outlining your situation and the action we have taken to remedy it. A contact point is always mentioned on the letter. If, for example, you have granted a transfer of your taxes or if a creditor has seized your taxes, it is possible that this person is opposed to your tax refund.
