Not everyone will get a tax refund in 2025. Check if you are on the list

Tax settlement for 2024 is fast approaching. Although for many people a tax refund is an opportunity to recover a large amount, not everyone will be able to take advantage of it. We have prepared a list of who will not receive a tax refund this year, as well as details about tax reliefs available in 2025.

How to settle tax breaks in 2025?

Tax settlement can be done in a traditional form or online. The e-PIT service already contains a completed form, which only needs to be supplemented with the reliefs you are entitled to, such as the child relief, which the tax office introduces automatically.

Online settlement is faster – the tax refund using this method can be paid within 45 days. In the case of a paper return, the waiting time is up to 90 days.

Who cannot take advantage of tax breaks in 2025?

Tax relief is an opportunity to reduce liabilities towards the tax office or obtain a refund of overpaid tax. However, not everyone can take advantage of this privilege. People who are not eligible for tax relief in 2025 include:

• People who do not meet the income criteria – in the case of reliefs, such as child relief, income limits apply.
• Taxpayers who fail to settle their taxes on time – delays in submitting the declaration may result in the loss of the opportunity to benefit from reliefs.
• People who did not incur expenses qualifying for relief – this applies, for example, to relief for thermal modernization or donation.
• Taxpayers using certain forms of taxation – e.g. a lump sum that limits the availability of tax relief.

What tax deductions can be deducted in 2025?

Available tax reliefs in 2025 include:

• Child relief.

• Donation deduction.

• Contributions to trade unions.

• Payments to the Individual Pension Security Account (IKZE).

• Thermal modernization of the building.

• Purchase of medicines.

• Costs of using the Internet.

These are just some of the reliefs that can bring significant savings. Unused discounts are lost, so it is worth checking your eligibility carefully.

When can you expect your tax refund?

People who settle their taxes online can count on a tax refund within 45 days. In the case of Large Family Card holders, this period is shortened to 30 days. However, those who choose traditional, paper settlement will have to wait up to 90 days.

The year 2025 brings many opportunities related to tax relief, but also restrictions for those who do not meet certain conditions. It is crucial to submit the declaration on time and carefully check the reliefs available to avoid losing money.
