Blumpie Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Im not going to read through four pages of drivel which reminds me of my drivel which is excruciating to read... god I do go on and the wine, oh it talks. Oh how it does talk... They only put import duties on it because big brother China wanted them to. When you tell your dog to do something they do it. Bark bark bark. Oh the wine, oh how it does talk! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To make up for the lost tax revenue, they're going to have to rely on increased consumption. Has someone done the math, or is some duopoly going to benefit from this change? Duopoly a certainty!

Danderman123 Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 https://www.belaws.com/thailand/reduce-alcohol-taxes/ "the Thai government has recently introduced plans for tax and customs duty reforms targeting alcohol and luxury food imports." As of January 16, these are still plans. Thailand has plans for everything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danderman123 Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 So, has the wine tax been reduced? Or is this another "plan" that disappears after the initial announcement? Is Thailand going to be the hub of wine taxes? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
it is what it is Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 i bet the price reduction is minimal as the retailers increase their mark up 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Middle Aged Grouch Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 And to compensate this loss plainly for the restaurant mafia, they will plan to cheat arriving tourists of the new 300 bhat tax ? Soon western media will get hold of the new 300 thb tax rule and despite the petiness of the amount, it will show a certain level of hostility towards tourists and foreigners. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retarius Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 I was looking at wine prices in a local supermarket on Monday. I was shocked to see no difference with prices earlier in the year. I predicted earlier that retailers would hold prices where they have beenhisworically and pocket the additional profits. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fgmr Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 As I recall, the article stated that import duties on wine were to be reduced. It did not say when! This is LOS. Be patient and smile while you wait in hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purdey Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 There appears be an assumption by some that wine is mainly for expats and western tourists, but there are many Thais who also enjoy wine. Many the time have Thai friends driven into Laos to purchase French wine cheaper than Thailand and brought a few cases back to enjoy. One Thai General, Sunthorn Kongsompong, even owned a vineyard in France due to his appreciation for the stuff. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All just yellow water Pint of fullers please ! In Bangkok 7-11's at least, if you enjoy IPA type beer there is FullMoon beer... (from Fullmoon Brew works in Phuket). Both of the common ones are decent... at 88 baht for a large 500ml can. - Summerlay FinFin IPA (6.0% ABV) - SayPlay (4.0 ABV) I'm not sure if other 7-11's outside of Bangkok stock them, I only know the 7-11 near me (in Bangkok) does. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reduction in import is already in place (as of April I believe). I suspect a number of factors in the reasons this is not being reflected in the pricing. - Shops selling off existing stock (purchased under higher taxation). - Shops profiting - there is no reason to lower their price until competition comes in. As new Wine Shops enter the market and attempt to undercut with lower profit margins than the existing sellers, only then will we see the prices start to improve. That said: WinePro in Bangkok offered a couple of wines on their list at lower prices to reflect the lower tax. Though, they were 'new offerings' so there was no comparison point with older stock. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpaceKadet Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 It would be better if they scrapped the silly ban on alcohol sales between 14-17. Just ridiculous. Somewhere I've read that the ban has been removed, but somehow it has not permeated to the retail chains. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The OP mentioned that the 50% import duty, plus excise taxes were to be eliminated. Since April 1, however, I have noticed a price increase on wine in local shops. Is it possible that the import duty reduction was less than 100%? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
