In the U.S., it depends on the type of refund and what's being refunded. Generally, if it's a refund of the price of something you purchased, it's not taxed, assuming the purchase was made from your income that was already taxed. If you receive a refund of state income tax, it may have to be included in your taxable income, but only if you claimed it as a portion of your itemized deductions in the previous year.
