hawksway 126 Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Strange Tax system in Thailand. It's call Value Added Tax (VAT) as called in the European Union. Each time a bottle of Beer is sold or resold the VAT is applied, but seemingly, in Thailand, it stops being applied when the shops or Wholesalers sell it on. Link to post Share on other sites

TallGuyJohninBKK 28842 Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Tried to buy some beer today but everywhere seems to be sold out. 7/11, Tesco even Macro. Only top end brands like Carlsberg/Heineken available. No Chang, Leo, Singha. Thai-produced Heineken is a "top end" brand???? Link to post Share on other sites
fxe1200 1722 Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Best supermarket has put up their prices already. LEO before was 46 baht a big bottle, now 54 baht. That is an 18% increase in prices! LEO at the wholesale outlet was sold in HDY for 495 THB the box or 41,25 THB/bottle. The new price is 552 for a box or 46 THB/bottle. Thus the tax increase is 4.75 THB per bottle (630ml) Link to post Share on other sites

Phil Water 25 Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 I'm staying home tonight. There'll be Falang rioting in the streets if the Bar Beers have run dry. Oh wait, no beer, no drunk Falang? It's a chicken and egg sort of situation. Nuh, I'll stay home. LOL... Brilliant! But seriously 48 baht for Chang. Is there a protest planned?

dazk 78 Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Last I heard, the government had announced the tax increase and the date it is to start, but it is yet to go through parliament. (I could be wrong here.) So the problem is no one knows if the tax increase is going to happen. This would explain the confusion in the supply chain as to the cost. along the lines of what i have been told asked the wife last nite why tesco makro 7/11 have no beer she said the price has not been fixed by the government yet crazy Link to post Share on other sites
KittenKong 15882 Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 As a shareholder in Carlsberg I am happy. The price increase is a tax hike and so will not provide any additional profit for the brewers. In fact one of the reasons for increasing alcohol taxes is to reduce consumption, and hence reduce brewers' profits even more. As a shareholder of several brewers and alcoholic drinks conglomerates I would rather hear about a tax cut than a tax hike. Link to post Share on other sites
Guderian 6321 Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 The supermarkets and convenience stores also seem to be out of the cheap Thai whiskey, or at least the drinkable stuff like Blend 285. Link to post Share on other sites

Today I bought a box of 12 big bottles of LEO from the Wholesaler in soi Yume near Big C Extra. The price was 610 baht. Previously it was 495 baht for a box of 12. Buying that box bulk has gone up a staggering 23%. Link to post Share on other sites

I urge everybody to find out the wholesale places, the place where the trucks unload their beer from either the LEO brewery in Nakon Pathom or Samut Prakan. Then you will get beer with a filling date not older, or even better than one week. The beer then has to be stored in a refrigerator, to keep the smoothness and the freshness. Beer from any other store might have been sitting at 26 to 34 degrees centigrade for 2 weeks or months already. I consider this beer as dead, it turns bitter, leaves a sour aftertaste and the smoothness of the bubbles is gone. Compare or make a blind test if you do not believe it. Moreover you will pay correct prices. Link to post Share on other sites
