For companies, Thailand will waive corporate income tax. These firms must register their tokens to qualify for the tax break, Minister Arkhom said. <\/p>\n<p>Also, investors who pour funds into these digital investment tokens will be exempt from paying value-added tax. <\/p>\n<p>Government spokesperson Rachada Dhnadirek added that companies will have access to alternative channels for raising funding. These firms could secure capital through investment tokens, debentures, and other methods from traditional finance, Rachada noted. <\/p>\n<p>The tax break could cut off a massive revenue stream and cost the Thai government around 35 billion baht or $1 billion over the next two years. However, the move is also poised to incentivize a flurry of investment token offerings worth north of 128 billion baht or $3.71 billion in the same 24-month period. <\/p>\n<h2>Thailand&#8217;s Crypto Regulatory Scene <\/h2>\n<p>The latest waiver complements relaxed tax regulations introduced by lawmakers in 2022. Thai officials previously pushed back on VAT charges for crypto transactions, announcing a VAT tax break on such transfers until 2024. <\/p>\n<p>Thailand&#8217;s Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) also introduced a framework to oversee crypto custody businesses. <\/p>\n<p>The government has also introduced strict guidelines for crypto in some cases. Lawmakers banned crypto lending and staking services back in September 2022. In the same month, tighter advertising rules for crypto firms were announced. <\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/en.ethereumworldnews.com\/thailand-introduce-crypto-tax-exemption\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":171991,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
