The Estonian Tax Board has begun to focus on platform income in the income tax declarations, allowing citizens to declare last year's earnings starting today.
The Estonian Tax Board has shifted its attention towards platform income in the recently opened income tax declaration period. Starting today, citizens can declare their earnings from the previous year. This move underscores the increasing importance of platform-based work in shaping modern income tax reports, reflecting changes in the economy and work structures.
The board has made e-services more accessible, offering pre-filled income tax declarations which simplify the filing process. This development is particularly beneficial for those who earn money through various digital platforms, as it provides clarity on how to report these earnings accurately.
As Estonia continues to embrace digital transformation in its governance, the emphasis on platform income may also encourage higher compliance rates among citizens who work in the gig economy. The goal is to ensure that all income sources are reported, thereby improving tax collection and maintaining the integrity of the tax system.
