Bangkok Governor Plans to Adjust Taxation Laws
Bangkok governor to adjust tax laws to increase revenue, including tobacco and hotel taxes, pending updates to municipal laws.

After the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration's 26/2022 meeting, Chatchart Sittipunt, the governor of Bangkok, revealed that they are prepared to adjust tax legislation to accommodate the current situation. Efforts will be made to minimize the impact on the majority of Bangkok residents and increase revenue through measures such as tobacco and hotel taxes.


The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) currently does not have the authority to collect certain items. In order to do so, they must first amend the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration Act of 1985 and then submit the details to the Ministry of Interior. The act will be adjusted in various areas to ensure consistency before being implemented in one go.


In addition, another important way to increase revenue is by establishing a good local tax information system, which has seven subsystems:


Tax Administration System


Land and Property Tax System


3. Investigation Management System


4. Signature Tax System


5. Data Verification Service System


6. Receipt Management System


Which debt management system is preparing to accept work from contractors?
