The Thailand Revenue Department has decided to bring some changes in the process of tax payment by linking the income data and the withholding tax of civil servants, pensioners, and permanent employees. The aim of this change is to bring convenience and compliance for the taxpayers. It has been reported by the Director General of the Comptroller General’s Department, Paricia Mongkolvanich that a policy is given to the agencies which will fall under the Ministry of Finance and to merge the databases which are in both public and private sectors.
The Revenue Department enforces tax payment and other activities through advanced digital infrastructure such as e-filing system, online tax submissions and payments. This new method will simplify the tax payments of the taxpayers digitally.
