Thailand’s online gig workers reminded to file income declaration

The state is reminding website gig workers, including independent workers, food supply riders, YouTubers and social media influencers, to record the 2024 individual income&nbsp, tax kind by March 31 or risk facing penalties such as fines of up to 200, 000 baht and/or seven years imprisonment.

All employees who run their businesses online may submit a detailed review of their revenue last year to the Revenue Department by March 31. That is according to Deputy state official Karom Phonphonklang, who announced on Monday.

However, those who plan to file their income declarations online through the Digital MyTax (D-MyTax ) platform, the department’s e-Filing channel or the RD Smart Tax app have until April 8 to submit their files.

Income which need to be declared include earnings received from business procedures, sales, fee and service fees.

Before the deadline, those who don’t file will be fined 2, 000 baht plus a 1 % monthly interest rate until the pronouncement is submitted.

Those who fail to register their files on purpose face up to one year in prison, fines of up to 200, 000 baht, or both, plus additional charges amounting to half the paid tax plus a 1.5 % monthly fee.

Those who provide misleading information are subject to fines of up to 200, 000 rmb and up to seven years in prison.

Mr. Karom claimed that the Revenue Department’s employees did not send download links or emails to taxpayers informing them of updates on the filing process.

Citizens with further inquiries can touch the Revenue Department’s RD Intelligence Center via the 1161 line or by visiting any Revenue Department location globally, according to Mr. Karom.
