Thailand’s Finance Ministry has introduced tax measures to help cushion the serious economic impacts of COVID-19 on businesses and employment.

 

The Finance Ministry’s spokesman, Mr. Thanakorn Wangboonkongchana, said today that, in Thailand, many businesses in the export, industrial and tourism sectors are being forced to close, leaving millions of employees redundant.

 

To help them retain their employees, he said that the Excise Department has cut excise tax on certain products and services. For instance, he said that the excise tax on electric tricycles will be reduced from 4% to 2% and the enforcement of new excise taxes on cigarettes and tobacco will be postponed until October next year.

Gee, K Thanakorn, thank you so much! That's really going to help my business recover. I can't believe that no-one thought of this business-saving, job-saving, indeed life-saving measure until now. All the tourist businesses up and down the country must be overjoyed today on hearing this fantastic news. You are truly part of a Government that just keeps on giving (nothing). You must be so proud of yourself.
