Hi,

Where I can find site/s or info about how much are taxes on imported alcohol beverages (from Europe). I am talking about whiskey type of beverage, 500 mil (45% alcohol)...

Thanks in forward!

Here are the import duties on taxes on whiskey, 500ml/bottle, 25% alc.

1. Import duty 60%

2. Excise tax calculation : Item 1. Whole sale price x 25% = ?

Item 2. 250 x alc % x ltr =?

Item 3. 50 x ltr = ?

3. Interior tax 10% from excise tax

4. Health tax 2% from excise tax

5. Thai PBS 1.5% from excise tax

6. Sport tax 2 % from excise tax

7. Vat 7% from CIF + duty + excise tax + interior tax

As you can see, the Excise tax depends on your wholesale price. Please send me PM to discuss in detail, and so that I can put some figures on it for you.

You also need three different licences to import the whiskey.

Please send me PM if you need to know more.

Import and excise taxes are major, major sources of tax revenue in Thailand since so many Thais do no pay personal income tax and SME's greatly under-report (if they report) their taxable revenue.
