The hidden cost of untaxed gig work
As gig work grows globally, much of the income remains unreported and untaxed — leading to lost revenue, unfair tax burdens, and weakened social systems.
Without proper oversight, the gap between gig work and tax compliance continues to widen, undermining economic fairness and government capacity.

Digital gig workers frequently go untaxed
Governments find it difficult to monitor and collect taxes from the self-employed and individual entrepreneurs (IEs) operating through digital platforms.
For example, in Ghana, thousands of digital creators, influencers, and freelancers are unregistered and do not pay income tax.
Digital platforms lack tax collection expertise
Digital platforms often lack the expertise to handle tax collection for their workers independently. Ensuring tax calculations stay current with legislation — including tax code changes, regional rules, and specific tax regimes — is essential.
Many gig workers unintentionally underreport earnings due to low tax awareness.
Platforms need major investment to become tax operators
Digital platforms must undergo major modifications to become tax operators for workers.
Efforts like registering self‑employed users, fiscalizing revenue, handling payments, updating rating logic, tracking bonuses, and remitting taxes pull critical resources away from their core business functions.
What is a digital platform? Who works on digital platforms?
A digital platform is an online service or software that enables interactions between distinct user groups — such as customers and providers. It facilitates the exchange of information, delivery of services, and management of tasks including legal or tax‑regulatory processes.
Typically, these platforms work with two main types of performers: self‑employed individuals and independent entrepreneurs.
Individual Entrepreneurs (IEs)
Individual entrepreneurs offer their goods and services on digital platforms and are required to maintain tax records in accordance with applicable laws.
Unlike self-employed individuals, individual entrepreneurs have broader business opportunities, including the ability to hire employees, issue product certificates, and obtain licenses.
Self-Employed Workers
The self-employed are individuals officially registered with the tax authorities who provide services or perform work while paying tax on professional income.
Although many self-employed individuals traditionally operate in the informal sector, a special tax regime with a low tax rate helps incentivize them to transition into the formal economy.
