<p class="has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph">The Income Tax Department has been cracking down on social media influencers who have been flaunting their overseas holidays and luxury shopping on social media, but paying zero or &#8220;substantially low&#8221; tax. The ITD has sent notices to 15 such influencers, asking them to explain their sources of income and why they have not been paying taxes on their earnings.</p>



<p class="has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph">The ITD is reportedly following the influencers on social media and tracking their expenses.</p>



<p class="has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph">ð The department is also using data analytics to identify influencers who may be under-reporting their income.</p>



<p class="has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph">ð The notices have been sent to influencers in a variety of fields, including fashion, lifestyle, travel, and Bollywood. The ITD is asking the influencers to provide details of their income from brand endorsements, sponsored content, and other sources. The department is also asking the influencers to provide details of their expenses, such as travel, accommodation, and clothing.</p>



<p class="has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph">ðThe ITD is cracking down on social media influencers as part of a broader effort to increase tax compliance among high-income individuals. The department has been sending notices to a variety of high-income individuals, including celebrities, businessmen, and professionals.</p>

Some people have welcomed the move, saying that it is necessary to ensure that everyone pays their fair share of taxes. Others have criticized the move, saying that it is an invasion of privacy and that the ITD should not be monitoring social media activity.</p>



<p class="has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph">ð®♂ï¸ It remains to be seen how the ITD&#8217;s crackdown on social media influencers will play out. However, it is clear that the department is taking a serious approach to ensuring that everyone pays their fair share of taxes.</p>
