How long may it take the tax office to process the tax return?

Unfortunately, there is no deadline by which the tax office must process your tax return! Based on experience, as a rule, it can take between 2 and 3 months to process your tax return.

In case of doubt, it may be advisable to call the person responsible for processing your tax return.

Important: The tax office cannot take as long as it wants to process your tax return. If more than six months have passed since you submitted your tax return without the tax office taking action, you have an option to file a so-called objection of failure to act. You can file this objection with your tax office (sect. 347 para. 1 sentence 2 of the Fiscal Code (AO)).
