What is a tax refund?
A tax refund is a system that returns money to taxpayers who have paid more taxes than they should have. If the government takes more taxes than they earn, citizens will not even have enough money to live on. It would be nice if the government automatically transferred the money to citizens’ accounts, but it does not do so.
They only tell people to go claim their unclaimed refunds by accumulating them in the national treasury. According to a survey, the average person does not claim about 480,000 won per person. If 5 years have passed, you will not be able to claim your unclaimed refunds, so please claim them now.
In addition to year-end tax settlements for office workers, there are many areas where you can receive a tax refund by age, such as freelancers, the unemployed, and housewives. I think you have seen the news that the hidden refund amount exceeds 500 billion won every year.

I looked into how to check the Hometax refund, the 2025 Hometax year-end settlement simulation calculation preview, and the national tax refund inquiry. You should not live as a taxpayer who has to pay a lot of taxes for various reasons, including health insurance premiums, while working.
The country has a system that collects taxes first and then does not return them, so even if it is inconvenient, you have to step forward yourself. If you do not study your rights yourself and claim them, the government will not do anything.
In the future, I hope that the people will not have to struggle to find out their estimated tax amount, and they will be informed through a KakaoTalk service like ‘National Secretary’.
