Mr. Kong Vibol, director of the General Department of Taxation (GDT), announced at the tax seminar yesterday that GDT has officially launched e-payment platform that allows individual and corporate taxpayers to pay their obligations online, directly through bank account or at local tax department branch with less procedural steps. He said that the e-payment platform is currently only available for taxpayers that hold account with Vattanac, Acleda and Canadia banks. He added that GDT will launch a separate e-filling system early next year that would allow taxpayers to submit relevant documents online without the need of mailing them to tax authorities or submitting them in person. However, a taxpayer expressed her opinion that “many taxpayers will not be familiar with the technology, and this could prevent them from benefiting from system and it will take time before everything runs smoothly.”
