V.I. Tax Refund Payments Now Up to Date, Governor Announces
Since the most recent release of income tax refund checks in September, the government is now up-to-date on all outstanding payments, some dating as far back as 2001, Gov. Albert Bryan Jr. said in a press conference Monday.

Since the start of the month, 14,269 income tax refund checks totaling $31.4 million have been mailed out, including 2,941 refunds that were filed in April covering the 2021 tax year. For 2020, returns that were processed without audits or other issues have also been paid, the governor said.
“This takes care of everyone that has filed up until February of 2022. This also means we are now paying refunds in the same year they were filed,” Bryan added.
“We are on track to issue refunds to everyone that files by the April 15th filing deadline this year before the end of the year. This means we have officially caught up on the payment of tax refunds. A goal that once seemed insurmountable.”
