ATF Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 ^ I believe motor vehicles aren't included in that particular tax exemption. Cars and motorbikes are included as far as I know you can only really do it once and cannot sell for three years. Everything else is sketchy. I have to go to Laem Chabang tomorrow I'll see what I can find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RubberSideDown Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 (edited) This is from the Thai customs website, which notes that motor vehicles (among other items) are excluded- http://www.customs.go.th/wps/wcm/connect/custen/individuals/importing+used+or+secondhand+household+effects/importingusedsecondhandhouseholdeffects+ There's a recent thread going on GTR at the moment regarding this subject- I can't link it due to forum rules, but you can easily find it.

RubberSideDown Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 (edited) That lists a small discount for used vehicles rather than a minimal total tax amount- a three-year-old car would still be hit with ~150%-300% tax depending on engine displacement and horsepower (at least that's how it looks to me- I could be wrong). That's for cars, of course- I'm not sure how it pertains to bikes, which are taxed differently. The only tax exemption I see listed is for a temporary import of two months maximum (though there might be a way go extend it to six months). People have been trying to get around the import tax for years- I haven't heard a real success story yet.

Goat Roper Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Not unlike Local built cars. Can buy two in the US for the price of one here. I know this thread is about bikes but just had to throw this in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denkiblue555 Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 I would imagine that Thai people would get a tax break when importing their vehicle which was owned in a foreign country for the specified length of time, and then importing it here. I don't see what the benefit would be offering this to non-Thai people?? (excluding Embassy workers etc. who can import differently). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
