BANGKOK (NNT) - The latest iteration of the Shop Dee Mee Khuen program commenced on January 1. The program is aimed at stimulating spending and helping stores and sellers increase volume. Shopping malls and petrol stations are now issuing more detailed tax invoices to buyers who intend to make use of the program.

 

Many people were shopping at The Mall Ngamwongwan department store in Bangkok and making use of the Shop Dee Mee Khuen program. This was especially true of daily necessities, clothes, electrical appliances, and New Year’s gifts. Department store employees said many people had visited during the New Year’s break and this purchased a large number of items. This resulted in some delay in issuing tax invoices, which the mall addressed by adding invoice issuing stations.

 

Most of the visitors interviewed by NBT said they planned to make use of Shop Dee Mee Khuen. They said the program benefits both the public and stores.

 

This is the first time the program is allowing expenses incurred from fuel purchases at oil service stations to be counted toward the income tax deduction. Many people were asking for tax invoices at petrol stations today. Those interviewed spoke positively of the addition of fuel expense to items that may be considered for the tax deduction, saying fuel is something they need to buy in any case.To get a valid tax invoice from petrol stations, the fuel buyer should inform the staff of their name, address, postcode, citizen identification number, and car license plate number.

 

People may continue to spend under the Shop Dee Mee Khuen program until February 15.
