Director-general Pinsai Suraswadi said on April 3, a total of 1.11 million personal income tax returns had been filed. Of those, 9.37 million or 39% included requests for tax refunds.

For taxpayers who filed but have yet to receive refunds, the delay may be due to additional required documentation, or the department is expediting this process, he said.

Regarding revenue collection, Mr Pinsai said the department collected more than 170 billion baht in March, an uptick of 11 billion baht or 6.6% year-on-year, and 1 billion baht (0.6%) higher than the department's projection.
