Thaksin’s lawsuit was against the Revenue Department, Mr. Pongsak Methapipat, the department’s director-general and its representative, Mr. Prapas Sanansil, a representative of the Office of the Attorney General, and Mr. Pisit Srivaranan, a representative of the Department of Provincial Administration in his capacity as Appeal Committee member. The court ruled that the issuance of summons for Mr. Panthongtae Shinawatra, Thaksin’s son, and Ms. Pintongta Shinawatra, his daughter, as Shin Corp’s representatives was unlawful because the plaintiff had to be directly assessed.

Popular Post webfact Posted August 9, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted August 9, 2022 Ex-PM Thaksin wins 17 billion baht Revenue Department tax case Exiled former Thai prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra has won a tax case, involving the Revenue Department, after the Central Tax Court ruled that the department’s order for his two children to pay 17 billion baht in back taxes and interest, over the sale of shares in Shin Corporation to Singapore government’s Temasek Holdings Limited, was unlawful. The court said that the two children, Panthongtae and Pintongtha, were just proxies of Thaksin and the department’s tax appraisal summons for both of them was unlawful, adding that the department should have served the summons directlyon Thaksin himself. Thaksin’s two children bought 329 million Shin Corp’s shares, at one baht per share, from Ample Rich, an offshore company controlled by the Shinawatra family, and sold the shares to Temasek via the Stock Exchange of Thailand, at a price of 49.25 baht each, making a profit of about 16 billion baht, according to the Revenue Department’s assessment.

ikke1959 Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 wait ans wait in Thailand and you will get away with everything... How is it possible that such a hugh amount of money doesn't nee dto be paid.. Reduction would be fine but no payment........ Shameful as so many people live in poverty because of these greedy wealth. And that party/family would be the next Government??? They should be banned for life, although Thailand was better when he was PM but his own growing wealth was far more better for him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post JingerBen Posted August 9, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 9, 2022 "Slippery as an eel" is an expression that always comes to mind whenever I'm reminded of him. Thais often say that all politicians are "kee-gohng"... but Thaksin takes it to a higher level and is in a class of his own when it comes to the amounts of money involved in his crooked deals. Shady and dishonest weapons procurement programs are a major problem here, that's for sure, but the beneficiaries are numerous and spread out, they don't enrich one man and his corrupt family to the same extent that the Shinawatras have seen their fortunes multiply since starting out as silk merchants in San Kamphaeng. 6 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His and his clans' past indiscretions, however large or small they may have been, pale to insignificance compared to the current junta. Regardless of what one might think of the elder Thaksin - pro, con, indifferent - he has managed to build a connective and promotional media insight that keeps him and his associations in the limelight........and he's still pulling strings here and there, unbeknownst to many. The likelihood [and reality] of him returning to former political glory are incredibly slim......as he's becoming to an incapable age, plus the incorrigible and sound tradition of the Thai political machine would have it. All of the return talk can be put to rest. But......cleverly enough, he [and his handlers] is slowly grooming his offspring as the next generation of Thaksinite drones. Deliberately working their way in. For almost a decade, the show has been quite amusing and interesting to say the least. Who knows what's gonna come of any of this. 5 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peabody Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 What does this mean: "The court also ruled that the former prime minister was not regarded as an earner of taxable income according to the law,hence, the department’s tax assessment for the payment of 17 billion baht in back taxes and interest was unlawful and ordered tax appraisal to be withdrawn by the department." Also, no money actually has left the Shin's hands, has it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hammer2021 Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 He is the democratically leader of Thailand. He has more right to be in power than the current military junta. He was an excellent leader without the airport and RTS would not have been completed. He medical and welfare policies were fair and reasonable and he was no more corrupt than other Thai leaders and less corrupt than subsequent uniformed leaders. Thaksin was a great leader 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
