Frequently asked questions

Do freelancers pay source tax?

The Finance Act 2026 exempts freelancing and content income. Foreign income earlier faced 7.5% source tax.

What are the conditions?

IT relief needs a registered business + TIN + BIN. Individual content creators qualify as individuals.

Must I still file returns?

Yes. Filing income tax returns stays mandatory with or without relief.

What about a foreign salary?

Resident remote-employment salary is not freelancing — taxed as salary normally.

What if money comes informally?

No relief, plus legal risk. Move to legal channels.
