Via the website of the Dutch Tax Authorities, the 2021 tax return cannot be filed until 1 March 2022. We can start with preparation of your tax return at the end of January 2022 as our program is available as of that date. The tax return 2021 needs to be filed before 1 May 2022. When you file your tax return before 1 April, the Dutch Tax Authorities guarantee that you receive a (preliminary) assessment before 1 July. If you file your tax return between 1 April and 1 May, they achieve to provide you with a (preliminary) assessment before 1 July. In case you file after 1 May, it will last approximately 3 months and even 6 months in case of an M-form, before you receive your refund. Unsure if you will meet the deadline, we can file a request for extension.
