Missed a deduction or tax reduction in your year-end tax settlement? You may be able to file a correction claim when the tax already settled exceeds the correct amount. The general filing period is within five years after the statutory income tax deadline, and the standard deadline for 2021 employment income is May 31, 2027. Rent, medical expenses, and donations must meet applicable requirements and need supporting documents from the relevant tax year. A claim does not automatically guarantee a refund—the tax office must review and decide it. #YearEndTaxSettlement #IncomeTaxRefund #TaxCredit #Hometax
