Popular Post snoop1130 Posted November 30, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 30, 2020 ‘Old car for new car’ project decision delayed to next week By The Nation Details of the proposed “old car for new car” scheme are being finalised and will be revealed to the public next week, according to the Industry Ministry. The Finance Ministry is currently studying the proposal, which would see car owners offered coupons worth Bt100,000 in tax relief on purchases of new cars. The trade-in scheme was proposed earlier this month by the Industry Ministry as a way of boosting the auto sector during the economic crisis. However, automakers warned it could dampen sales and lead to stagnation of the industry as car owners would delay buying a new car until they hear what kinds of old car are covered by the scheme. The National Economic and Social Development Council (NESDC) is expected to announce the full details of the scheme next week.

I understand this is a tax relief, not a straight Bt100,000 refund, so it will be the best paid workers and good earning business men/women , that will benefit the most. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scot123 Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 This sticks of help for the military and their voter base the middle and upper class who get free money at Christmas every year in their shop/tax present now this. This doesn't help the poor farmers or the poor scraping a daily subsistence living.

orang37 Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 More cars on the road, more pedestrians, more drivers-not-paying-attention, more drivers drunk or on drugs, more accidents, more weak, and sick, are culled = more ambulances, more tow trucks, more police employed, more hospital and morgue business. Sounds like a win ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
