Man kan også kalde tråden for: VAT-forvirret i Thailand !

Og svaret på spørgsmålet i overskriften må vel være: måske, måske ikke !

"" NCPO maintains 7-per cent VAT for one year
July 17, 2014 10:22 pm
NCPO on Thursday announced that the VAT will be maintained at 7 per cent for another year from October 1, 2014 to September 30, 2015 in an attempt to boost the domestic consumers' spending that will lead to the country's economic growth.
The VAT then will be increased to 10 per cent, effective from October 1, 2015 onward.

By the law, when buying products and services consumers in fact will have to pay the VAT at 10 per cent of those products and services’ prices. But, the VAT was in exemption by previous governments that issued announcements to collect it at 7 per cent for many years.""

""6.3% VAT next fiscal year Published: 17 Jul 2014 at 23.13 | Viewed: 1,100 | Comments: 0 Online news: Writer: Online Reporters
The National Council for Peace and Order announced on Thursday it would trim the value-added tax (VAT) rate to 6.3% from 7% for the forthcoming fiscal year. VAT will be decreased from Oct 1 this year to Sept 30, 2015, it said, adding the tax then will jump to 9% starting Oct 1, 2015. The change comes as a surpise as the junta said on June 1 that it would keep the rate unchanged for another year. Thailand charges VAT rate at 7% now.""

Ingen grund til at blive forvirret. Det er snarere maaden det er beskrevet i aviserne paa der kan give lidt forvirring.

Oprindeligt og ifoelge loven er VAT max 10% inklusiv en municipality tax paa 10% ud af de 10%. Dette reducerer saa VAT til 9% og MT er 1%, i alt 10%.

Paa grund af diverse daarlige oekonomiske forhold bl.a. krisen i 2008 har VAT stort set siden VAT blev indfoert i 1992 vaeret paa 7% inkl. MT. 10% af de 7% giver saa en effektiv VAT rate paa 6.3% plus 0.7% i MT = 7%.

Det som juntaen har besluttet er at bibeholde VAT inkl. MT paa de 7% til udloebet af det kommende finansaar dvs. september 2015. Herefter vil VAT gaa op til maximum som loven foreskriver dvs. 9% + 1% i alt 10%.

Saa svaret er, ja man kan godt stole paa hvad aviserne skriver.

Mvh.
