Dear Editor,
I am a pensioner (TIN 111055672; IRD No. 228059-1). I am employed on a part-time basis. Repeatedly, I have tried to recover income tax refunds due to me for the years 2012 and 2013 and repeatedly I have been told by the very polite clerks in the Refunds section that Form 2 had not been sent by the government departments in Region 4 and therefore they were unable to process refunds.
It is now safe to conclude that many other persons are similarly affected, but my question is who is directly responsible for ensuring these documents are submitted on time? Additionally, is there a specific time frame for the payment of the refunds?
I look forward to an early resolution of this annoying and frustrating situation.
Yours faithfully,
(Name and address provided)
