For those who work as freelance, what business registration do you use? I have a client I work often with and thinking about using that? But it's not monthly payments but project based.

TLDR : Answer Summary
Freelancers working in Thailand should use a business registration that aligns with their income type. It is emphasized that having a formal business registration or showing tax papers is essential for reporting project-based income, as random transactions into personal accounts are not acceptable.
