These people will be the first to receive a PIT refund. One document is enough
By completing your PIT electronically, you can count on a relatively quick tax refund. Perhaps not everyone knows that one group is particularly privileged in this respect.
From Sunday, February 15, Poles can submit tax returns for 2025. As the latest SW Research survey for “Wprost” shows, 72 percent of us settle accounts electronically, and just over 17 percent he does it the traditional way.
Without a doubt, the advantage of electronic settlement is faster tax refund than with paper settlement. In the case of a return submitted online, the refund is processed within 45 days, although practice shows that the money reaches the taxpayer’s account much faster. In the case of traditional settlements, the regulations give tax offices up to three months to pay the refund.
It is also important to remember that it is important to submit your tax return correctly. It is important to enter your personal data and bank account number correctly and avoid accounting errors. These may result in the need to submit corrections. If the tax office decides that the documents require changes, you will have to wait longer for the tax refund for 2025.
Faster tax refund for holders of the Large Family Card
Perhaps not everyone is aware that there is a group that can count on a faster tax refund. These are large families who indicate in their tax return (completed online) that they have a Large Family Card. To obtain the document, you must have at least three children. The card entitles, among others: to cheaper train journeys, lower electricity bills, as well as discounts in museums, cinemas and theaters. You can also count on discounts when shopping in popular retail chains.
In such a case, you have to wait a maximum of 30 days for a tax refund. In practice, this means that if a representative of a large family submits a tax return on February 15, the tax refund should be made by March 17 at the latest. The money will go to the parent’s account specified in the statement. However, as in the case of any other payer, the slightest possible error and the need to correct the tax return may extend this deadline.
The Large Family Card has been in operation since 2014. In 2019, the regulations were changed, significantly expanding the group of people who can use it. Since then, the right is not only available to families who are currently raising at least three children, but also to those who have met this condition in the past. The age of the descendants does not matter.
