At the end of the declaration of income made this spring – on income collected in 2024 – the tax administration will be brought, as every year, to reimburse certain households from too much of income tax (IR) the previous year. Tax households which have already been able to read the amount at stake by validating their declarative form in recent weeks.
And that is good: this refund must take place either this Friday, July 25, or Friday, August 1, confirmed, Wednesday, the Directorate General of Public Finances (DGFIP) in a press release. “You will be reimbursed automatically, securely by transfer to the known bank account of the tax administration”warns Bercy.
Technically, the transfer will carry the “revenue tax revenue” wording and will come from the “DGFIP finances”. And it’s not just a detail … because scams with false websites or false messages from Bercy have multiplied lately. You must therefore remain vigilant and not to transmit by email your bank details.
In the event that the administration is not aware of the taxpayer’s bank account, she will send a check at her home during the summer.
