From March 1st to June 30th, the comprehensive income calculation of personal income tax for 2025 is in progress. After a taxpayer submits a tax refund application, he or she will generally encounter five different situations: tax review in progress, tax review failed, treasury processing, treasury withdrawal failure, and treasury processing completed. Among them, the two situations that need to be focused on are tax review failure and treasury withdrawal failure.
Tax review under way
"Under tax review" means that you have successfully submitted your application and the tax authorities are reviewing your tax refund application. Due to the large number of people applying for personal tax settlement, the review will take some time, so please be patient.
Failure to pass tax audit
"Tax review failed" means there is a problem with your declaration information. The tax authorities will list the reasons for failure in the individual tax app. You can check it in the personal tax app in time, check, modify and improve the declaration data, and resubmit the declaration after confirming it is correct.
The treasury is processing
“Processing by the National Treasury” means that the tax authorities have reviewed and approved your tax refund application and submitted it to the National Treasury. The National Treasury is processing it in accordance with regulations. Please wait patiently. After the processing is completed, the tax will be refunded by the treasury to the bank account you filled in.
Treasury withdrawal failed
"Treasury refund failed" means that the tax cannot be refunded to your bank account. Under normal circumstances, the failure of the treasury withdrawal is mostly related to the bank account information you filled in. Please pay attention to whether the bank card account for which you apply for tax refund is your own account, and whether the account is in a status of cancellation, loss report, freezing, inactivation, income and expenditure limit, etc. If you encounter these situations, you need to re-fill in the eligible bank card account, or go to the tax office with your ID to make changes. The system will re-send the treasury to process the refund.
Treasury processing completed
"Treasury processing completed" means the tax refund is successful. Please pay attention to whether the tax refund has been refunded to the bank card account you selected when submitting your tax refund application.
If the information is correct, the online application will usually be reviewed within 15 working days.
Individual tax year settlement period
Please do not take this information lightly
While waiting for your personal tax refund to arrive, if you suddenly receive the following message, please do not believe it!
Scam 1: “You have a tax refund waiting to be claimed”
The ×× Taxation Bureau of the State Administration of Taxation reminds: The 2025 comprehensive income tax settlement and declaration work has begun. The tax system shows that you have a tax refund of ××× yuan. Please log in to the following website designated by the tax bureau (www.×××.com) and follow the prompts to handle it. Overdue processing will not be processed.
Scam 2: “Professionals can help you get more tax refund”
As long as you provide your personal tax App account password and bank card number, we can help you handle the personal tax settlement and refund. We will pay the service fee in proportion to the tax refund amount. If it fails, no fee will be charged!
Scam Three: Inducing to fill in false personal tax information
On the grounds of "taking advantage of preferential tax policies" and "reducing personal burdens", they claim that they can use false qualifications, names, etc. to provide relevant personal tax refund "services" and increase the amount of tax refunds.
Scam 4: Tax inspectors contact you
The "tax audit department personnel" will notify you by calling or sending a text message that you have been included in the list of this tax audit. Next, "notifications" and "information" will be sent through chat software to request transfer to the designated account.
Scam 5: Provide “manual tax refund”
"Tax bureau staff" informed by phone that the "manual tax refund green channel" can be used to speed up the payment. Personal information such as ID card and bank card account number is required for identity verification.
Internet police reminder:
Do not provide any of your account numbers and passwords to strangers.
The tax inspection department will have strict regulations and procedures when conducting random inspections, and will not notify taxpayers to provide relevant information through SMS, QQ, WeChat and other channels.
When you receive a call from a so-called "manual tax refund", be vigilant and do not believe the so-called "manual tax refund".
Always remember not to click on links to unfamiliar websites. For matters related to tax refunds, please handle relevant business directly on the official “Personal Income Tax” App of the State Administration of Taxation. If you encounter such an incident, please check with the tax department for verification and handling in a timely manner.
