The actual return has no tax-free allowance, so a refund only appears when your actual return is clearly below the notional one.

In short: I object to the assessment / decision for 2022. Box 3 was taxed on the notional return; my actual return was € -7.080. Please set Box 3 income at the actual return under the Wet tegenbewijsregeling box 3 and reduce the tax by about € 508. The figures and statements are attached.
