Just a heads up for anyone thinking of buying a new car .

The prices on the attachment are how much each car will be going up soon due to the government increasing the tax on new cars.

More debt. mai pen rai. /thainess.

Just a year or so ago the Thai Government was offering big rebates on new cars - now big tax hikes - that is Thainess ...

Looks like that i just bought my new car on time. :-)

Looks like my Navara which I probably will seel next year just received a premium.

Note that not all cars get a price hike. "Eco" cars will get a reduction. That's why they conveniently don't list the Yaris for example in the posted ad.

The Mazda 2 will also get a bit cheaper.

Also note that companies that take part in the Phase 2 Eco car program get an 8 year corporate tax holiday. They could probably swallow the increased excise taxes with the tax reductions that they get.

But of course it's easier to increase prices and blame increased taxes.
