Buchholz Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Quite a number of the office girls should qualify with the Yingluck's government new definition of low income workers: Yes, but but their tax deduction will be about 10.000 as the will not have paid more tax than that. Forget 100.000, that's for the rich kids. I'm just happy for Thailand which seems well on its way for everyone to be rich in 6 months considering that 25,000 Baht monthly now being classified as low income. You mean to say that the 15,000 Baht / month promised to some fresh from university people is less than low income? They won't qualify for this program as it isn't intended for poor people below the poverty line. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TerryLH Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 "Also now it's a tax deduction." "How many new car buyers pay more than 100.000 baht in personal income tax." This program isn't about how much personal income tax you pay. The rebate is for the excise tax paid. "Yes, but but their tax deduction will be about 10.000 as the will not have paid more tax than that." Did you look at the chart that was linked above? It shows the approximate rebate on a number of vehicles, all based on the amount of excise tax paid. "...90% of the cars in thailand are in bkk..." Are you including pickups in that figure, or is it just a typo. Where did you get that number from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerWan Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Just what an already beleaguered middle class needs. More debt, more bills, more consumption and more pollution. Just so rich fat -cats can maintain the profit margin. When will we stop going backwards on fuel consumption? I guess when there is none left. I see no hope for the future with these kind of schemes.
