Taxpayers warned against imposters demanding their tax information on the phone

 

 

The Revenue Department has clarified today (Feb 7) that it has no policy of enquiring information about personal income taxes from taxpayers on the phone.

 

Revenue Department deputy director-general and spokesperson of the department, Mrs Patricia Mongkolvanich, made the above statement in response to a report that several taxpayers lost substantial amount of money after they had been duped by imposters claiming to be revenue officials to give away their tax information and to claim tax refund via the ATM.

 

She said that the department has never had a policy assigning its officials to phone taxpayers to make enquiries about their tax payments or tax-related information.

 

If the department has any doubts or needs additional evidence from taxpayers, it will directly notify them in writing, she insisted.
