If you receive less than €2.50 back from the tax authorities, the tax office will not pay out that amount. This rule is stipulated in an old law from 1992. The reasoning is that paying out a small amount costs more than the amount itself. However, the principle works both ways: if you have to pay less than €2.50, you may simply keep that money.
