Bangkok: The government is urging citizens, including entrepreneurs, online merchants, YouTubers, and influencers, to file their 2025 tax returns using Form P.N.D. 90/91 to avoid severe penalties for tax evasion. Taxpayers are advised to file electronically through the Revenue Department's upgraded e-filing and D-MyTax systems by April 8, 2026, or by paper filings by March 31, 2026.

According to Thai News Agency, Deputy Spokesperson for the Prime Minister's Office, Ms. Airin Phanrit, emphasized the legal consequences of failing to file taxes, including a fine of up to 2,000 baht and a 1.5% monthly surcharge for late payments. Intentional tax evasion can lead to imprisonment for up to one year and fines reaching 200,000 baht. Providing false information is subject to imprisonment from 3 months to 7 years and fines between 2,000 baht and 200,000 baht.

Taxpayers with liabilities of 3,000 baht or more have the option to pay in three installments. Ms. Airin reiterated that paying taxes is a constitutional obligation essential for national development and societal support. She warned that failure to comply with tax filing requirements will result in both civil and criminal penalties.

To prevent fraud, the public is cautioned against scammers impersonating the Revenue Department to steal personal information through deceptive emails. These emails falsely offer tax deductions and request sensitive information. Citizens are advised not to engage with such emails or click on any links.

For inquiries, individuals can contact the Revenue Department offices nationwide or reach out to the Revenue Department Intelligence Center at 1161. Filing tax returns is a mandatory requirement for all individuals with regular income, and non-compliance may lead to criminal charges.
