Complaint - Tax refund has been used to cover unpaid claims
When Your tax refund is used to cover unpaid claims, that is called a tax offset.
Did you have other plans for your tax refund than paying debts?
To have your tax refund used to cover unpaid claims can be frustrating if you had planned to use the refund for other purposes. Unfortunately, if you have unpaid claims at Statens innkrevingssentral, the tax refund may be used to cover unpaid claims. The good thing is that you either get rid of the claim entirely or at least get it partially paid down - with all the benefits that this will give you in the long run: quicker down payment, removal of negative credit history when all is paid and furthermore, the possibilities of getting a house loan for example.
There are valid reasons for applying to keep the tax refund.
Valid reason - you need the money for your own living costs
If you need this money to cover your cost of living (subsistence), this can be used as a valid reason to complain/apply to keep the tax refund.
These are not valid reasons for applying to keep the tax refund
- You have booked a holiday
- You have a private loan you were going to pay
- You were going to add this money to your savings
The reason why holiday is not considered a valid reason, is that the expenses of holiday you are expected to set a side during the year and that is a part of the subsitence rate. When it comes to private loans or savings, unpaid claims with us have a higher priority by the law.
