Tax refunds in eUrząd Skarbowy

The Tax refunds service covers PIT and VAT refunds, their date, allocation, refund method, postal charge and interest paid.

The Tax refunds (Zwroty podatków) service on an individual's account lets you check information about PIT and VAT refunds issued after 1 January 2020 without visiting a tax office. This is the scope described by the Ministry of Finance on its individual-account page.

What information you can read

According to the Ministry's description, the service provides information about:

Refund date — read this as the displayed refund date, not a promise of when you will receive the money.
Allocation of an overpayment or refund — whether it was applied to other tax liabilities or passed to another recipient. The Ministry gives seizure of a receivable as an example of when such a transfer may occur; this is not a conclusion about your case.
Refund method and postal charge — the information includes the refund method and the amount of the postal charge assessed.
Interest paid — if the refund included interest, the amount of interest actually paid to the taxpayer is displayed, not a calculation of future interest.

Optional preparation and reading checklist

The following tips are optional editorial suggestions for organizing your review, not legal obligations or a procedure for obtaining a refund:

Prepare your own documents relating to the PIT or VAT refund you want to compare with the displayed information.
Note the refund date and, separately, any information about allocation to liabilities or transfer to another recipient.
Check the refund method and the postal charge amount.
If the refund included interest, read the amount of interest paid.
Note which information needs clarification rather than making assumptions about missing details.

Viewing information is not applying for a refund

Treat this explanation as help with reading information, not an assessment of your entitlement to a refund. Checking the data does not constitute applying for a refund or confirmation of entitlement. This article does not guarantee completeness of the information, immediate updates, or any time for receipt or processing of a refund.
