Thai Income Tax reform approved

Individual taxpayers will start to see their net income bracket increase, as their income tax falls, saving the average taxpayer up to Bt7,500 annually.

What Are The Changes?

Under an executive decree approved by the Cabinet at the end of November, the number of income tax brackets will be expanded from five to seven during the 2013 and 2014 tax years, while the maximum tax rate was lowered from 37 per cent to 35 per cent.
The new 5% rate will be applicable to those earning between 150,000-300,000 baht a year, with 10% for those who earn 300,001-500,000 baht, 15% for 500,001-750,000 baht, and 20% for 750,001 baht to 1 million.
