Government reimbursement

Q: In the country where I live, if you are a working person, the government will send you tax every three months without you asking for it. Is this money halaal?

A: If the government is reimbursing you then it is permissible to receive the reimbursement.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
