🆔 New format for ARC/APRC number is not accepted--testing and reporting thread

[meishijia]

@Andrew

Quick question. I helped someone file their taxes online using their old ARC number (because that’s the number on their NHI card used to file), although they do also have the new number, and they’re due a refund.

Am I correct in thinking that the bank account used for the refund should match the old ARC number, or does it not matter?

FYI

@meishijia

It matters! When I went to the tax office, they had a poster there at the foreigner desk explicitly saying the ID number you file with must be the same as the bank account for the tax refund.
