Parallel Populist Project Unveiled For The Well-To-Do

[webfact]

 

AN E-REFUND PROJECT has been freshly launched by the Pheu Thai-led government for the well-to-do in parallel to the populist digital wallet project for other people.

 

Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin confirmed today (Nov.10) that the e-refund project will be provided to those who may not be entitled to the 10,000-baht digital wallet so they could as well help promote domestic consumption and spur the national economy.

 

According to the prime minister, the eligible recipient of the e-refund project will have their individual income tax refunded by shopping for a maximum of 50,000 baht in market value of merchandise in their home district in a six-month period from next May.

So hi-so Thais will get a 50,000 baht tax credit? Or will this be an outright cash payment? And before anyone says "read the story in the link" there is nothing else there. It's all slippery.

They should do more.

I want at least a rate of 50 to 60 THB per EUR.

Let's go.

How about a debt wallet?

10000 THB given to everyone to use as collateral to take on a couple of hundred thousands THB in debt ?

Great. Validated. Scheduled for next week.

Prayut government also has the same scheme called “ shop dee mee khuen” allowing people to deduct taxable income with local purchases. All Falang are entitled to this scheme if you pay tax. I used that scheme to reduce my personal taxable income.
