Refunds of the Model 730 for pensioners: when they arrive in 2025
The tax return season officially opened on May 15th. Pensioners will have time to send the 730/2025 Model until September 30th , while those who choose to use the PF Income Model have until October 31st , 2025. It does not matter what type of form the individual taxpayer decides to choose, it is possible to use the pre-filled version, with which you can accept or modify the data that has been automatically entered directly by the Revenue Agency.
The tax return, at this point, can be sent to the AdE, choosing the methods through which to receive any refund - which can be paid by the tax substitute - or choosing to pay any taxes due in installments.
The fact that the Model 730/2025 has been transmitted correctly can be seen directly from the electronic receipt that is granted. To view it, you must access your reserved area in the section dedicated to the tax return, where you will have to verify that the item being processed has become acquired . This makes it clear that everything went well. In the event that you should be entitled to receive a refund, it is only a matter of time. You will have to wait for the normal timeframes for its crediting.
When is the Model 730/2025 refund due?When the taxpayer submits the tax return using Form 730/2025 , the Revenue Agency calculates the tax that the individual must pay. Its amount is compared with the advance withholdings that have been made during the year by the tax substitute, which for pensioners corresponds, at least in most cases, to INPS . For employees, it is the employer.
In the event that the withholdings paid are higher than what the individual taxpayer actually has to pay, the taxpayer is entitled to a refund on the surplus he has paid.
The interested party, at this point, can choose to use the credit to offset other taxes, including those that he will have to pay in the future, or directly collect the refund that is due to him. In this case, the amount is credited to him by the tax substitute in the paycheck or pension slip.
We remind you that taxpayers have the possibility to request the refund due by submitting the Model 730/2025 without a tax substitute . In this case, the Revenue Agency will assume the burden of paying the amount due.
The amount of the reimbursement due is calculated on the basis of Irpef withholdings , municipal and regional surcharges. It also takes into account all deductible expenses, including medical expenses and those incurred for attending university.
When will the refund arrive for pensioners?What is the timeframe for the refund to arrive? The answer varies depending on the type of taxpayer and the date on which the tax return was filed.
The process is a little faster for employees, who can obtain the reimbursement in their paycheck as early as July, provided they have sent Form 730/2025 by May 31, 2025.
The timing is slightly longer for pensioners , who will receive the amount due to them in the second month following the month in which the declaration was submitted. Therefore, even for those who receive a social security check, the date by which the 730 was submitted is very important. In fact, it arrives from the second month following (as shown in the table).
The timing for pensioners, therefore, is different from that of employed workers. Apart from the extra month that must be waited, everything else is the same: the tax return works in the same way as that of employed workers. The role of tax substitute is assumed by INPS or any other social security institution that pays the check: it will be up to them to pay the sums that are due.
Even the pensioner, as well as the employee, can choose to present the Model 730/2025 without a tax substitute and be reimbursed the sums due directly by the Revenue Agency. But be careful: those who make this decision must take into account slightly longer timeframes, given that it could take up to six months to see the amounts credited.

Unfortunately, it can also happen that the refund due from the tax return does not arrive. How should the taxpayer behave in this case?
The amounts due may not be credited because the beneficiary of the refund and the account holder do not coincide . Or because the bank details that were communicated are incorrect.
In the event that these situations should occur, the Revenue Agency tries to make a further attempt: if this too does not succeed, the taxpayer will have to go to the competent territorial office of the AdE and present a request to request the payment of the refund.
The application for income tax refund must be submitted within 48 months.
