Chao Lao Beach Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Just saw on Channel 3 that the GOVERNMENT is doubling road tax (annual registration). For many people, this will be more than a months gross wage increase !!!!! Says to cut pollution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Expattaff1308 Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 I would imagine the result would be more driving without tax and insurance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TommyUK1960 Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 (edited) Great income for any government. Once the people have cars just tax them and the fuel even more. People won't give up their cars. Just go to the UK to see how the government rob the motorist.. This could be the Thai governments way of decreasing road accidents by 80%. Skin the motorist out so they can't use their cars. Edited December 1, 2015 by TommyUK1960 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingray Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 (edited) Increasing sales tax on new cars. Not the annual road tax. Maybe prices for used cars will increase as well. But just heard that. Not sure Edited December 1, 2015 by stingray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunBENQ Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 (edited) Increasing sales tax on new cars. Not the annual road tax. And I was close to a heart attack I hope this thread will bring concrete numbers about the rise in prices for new cars. I am still confused.

stoli Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 wow do we get double the holes in the road for that??? I jolly well hope so otherwise ill have nothing to fix Just finished trip to Nong Khai from Pattaya. Once you are 10 miles from Pattaya, the road to the Laos border is smooth as silk. Fabulous roads. On the flip side, every road in Laos was last paved in 1945, and the worst I have ever seen in my life. I would never complain about the Thai roadways.

stevenl Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 OP Post Edited - it is the Government who is changing the tax Since apparently not the annual road tax is increasing but only the sales tax on new cars, should the thread title not be amended again?
