Other Services -1

The annual individual income tax reconciliation appointment process has begun. Yesterday, the State Taxation Administration announced that the 2025 comprehensive income tax reconciliation period will be from March 1 to June 30. Taxpayers who complete their filings between March 1 and March 20 can make an early appointment through the Individual Income Tax App starting today; from March 21 to June 30, no appointment is needed, and filings can be made at any time.

The annual individual income tax reconciliation refers to the process after the end of the year, where taxpayers combine their total income from wages, labor services, remuneration, and royalties, calculate the taxable amount, and then declare and handle refunds or additional taxes with the tax authorities. Taxpayers who have paid more tax in advance than the amount owed after reconciliation, or who have earned more than 120,000 yuan in comprehensive income during the tax year and need to pay more than 400 yuan in additional taxes, are required to complete the reconciliation.

The tax authorities stated that the 2025 individual income tax reconciliation period lasts for four months, and it is available 24 hours a day during this time. Taxpayers have ample time to handle their taxes and do not need to rush to do so in the first few days. If taxpayers need to make an appointment, they can click the “Go to Appointment” button on the homepage of the Individual Income Tax App, select the desired reporting date, and click “Submit Appointment Request” to complete the booking. If there is an urgent need and no suitable appointment slot is available, taxpayers can also go directly to the tax service hall of the responsible tax authority to handle their filings.

It is important to note that during the reconciliation period, if taxpayers suddenly receive information such as professional assistance to get a larger refund, offers of “manual refund channels” claiming to be from tax officials, or related personal refund services under the guise of reducing personal burden, they should be cautious and not trust such information blindly.
