Customs Department to amend regulations on imported super cars

 

 

BANGKOK, 16 August 2017 (NNT) – The Customs Department has stepped up its effort to amend laws pertaining to the import of high end automobiles as well as the submission of information on 200 cars found to have evaded taxes to the Department of Special Investigation (DSI). 

The Customs Department is assembling information on 200 cars found to have either circumvented import duties or paid an insufficient amount for submission to the DSI so that it can press them to pay off the owed sums. 

Director-General of the Customs Department Kulis Sombatsiri said evidence is available to affirm that almost all of the 200 cars avoided taxes when being brought into Thailand. 

He also let on that the department is drafting new regulations on high end cars with the intent to bring laws more in line with present circumstances. One of the changes to be implemented is the requirement of a certified price evaluation to protect against importers paying too low a tax. 

Looking to amend order 317 of its office, the Customs Department is also poised to hold a conference of all super car importers so that they understand applicable regulations. It will use the opportunity to assure that it does not wish to stand in the way of their businesses but rather to uphold the law.

Let's change the law instead of prosecuting corrupt customs officials?

This way we can collect even more tea money?

It's not the laws that are the problem, it's the people who supposed to enforce those

laws, you can have the best laws on the books, but if the gate keepers are

dishonest, nothing will change....

Just slap 328% on rice imports to the rest of the world and sit back and see this lot move in the right direction. Aus wine in the UK (half decent bottle) £5.00 in los x5+ Why is that.

[leeneeds]

You have paid amount x for the car overseas,

paid to bring it to the Los, paid your duty

surely you would want to fork out a little more,

just a little teeny Weenie bit,

why would you not pay, the car is right in front  of you, 

integrity has nothing to with with this deal.

" protect against importers paying too low a tax." I never realised importers wanted to pay unrealistic import taxes. Just goes to show you learn something every day.

Because cheap French Plonk would destroy Thailand's burgeoning wine industry LOL

 One of the changes to be implemented is the requirement of a certified price evaluation to protect against importers paying too low a tax. Im sure that will be totally legitimate !

They need the 500 horse power so that policemen can be dragged 500 metres down the road.

As a former Ferrari owner I can assure you it would be a lot cheaper to get the surgery.

How much is the bribe for the "certified price evaluation"?
