This study gathered information on related laws of the Revenue Department and government policies. It found that the Revenue Department has continually enacted laws during the year 2020-2021 to exempt personal income tax for general people who participated in the projects. As a result, they dio not have to combine the income received from various projects as assessable income for filing the Tax Return form and paying personal income tax. However, the laws do not apply to entrepreneurs who participated in the projects.They have a duty to include the assessable income received submitted aa personal income tax or a corporate income tax return, depending on the case.
