216C: Form of request for transfer of refund

You could also call this:

"How to ask for your refund to be moved to another payment"

When you want to transfer a refund under section 216B, you need to make a request. This request must be in writing. You need to include specific information in your request. You should state how much of the refund you want to transfer. You also need to say what kind of tax or financial support the refund is for. If the refund is going to someone else, you need to give their name. The Commissioner might ask for other information too, and you need to provide that as well.
