WILLEMSTAD - 10 million guilders in tax refunds for 2022 have been paid out by the Tax Department since July 27. The automated system has been running for many hours over the past week. This was reported by Minister Javier Silvania of Finance on Wednesday.
The system processed a total of 11,245 tax returns. If people have correctly filled in their tax returns, any refund can be paid within a month after submission. If the tax return is filled in incorrectly or requires manual verification, it may take several months.
In addition to the automated process, approximately 600 tax returns are manually processed each week. This also applies to the handling of tax returns from previous years. Since July 27, the Tax Department has been working on the disbursement of income tax refunds for 2022 to taxpayers.
