What is a tax refund? A Tax Refund is actually YOUR money, money you’ve legitimately earned but for a complex array of reasons you may end up paying too much tax during the year. The good news is, you’re entitled to claim this money back at the end of the financial year. The IRD doesn’t proactively notify you if you are owed a tax refund, you need to apply to find out whether you have a refund owing. The tricky thing is, in some situations it may be that you haven’t paid enough tax and actually owe money! The Kiwi Tax Refund team of specialised tax agents protect you in this situation by checking on your behalf. We have created a simple online form, allowing you to apply for your tax refund in minutes.
