New tax policy. Man, salary gets over?!

Thailand's tax policy in 2026 will focus on four main areas:

1. Stimulate the economy

2. Expand the tax base

3. Digital economy and digital assets

4. Reduce disparities and increase tax collection efficiency. ✨

The main issues to keep an eye on are about this. 🌿

1. Broaden the "informal economy" tax base

The government is likely to push for

* Free Lance

* Online retail traders

* Creator / Influencer

* Revenue from digital platforms

More into the tax system.

Includes the use of information from

* PromptPay

* e-Payment

* Online platform

To help monitor income more systematically. ✨

What is likely to happen:

* Welding more tax information to digital transactions.

* Easier to monitor online revenue

* Private business people should start accounting for serious income.

2. Digital Asset Tax / Crypto

The state also views Digital Asset as both an "economic opportunity" and a "source of tax revenue."

The trend is

* Clearer about the Krypto profits tax

* Control Exchange and more transactions.

* Add an automated tax information reporting system.

But Thailand is still trying to maintain balance

In order not to let the digital asset market move entirely outside the country. ✨

For general investors:

* Trading history should be kept

* Separate profit / loss

* Always prepare retrospective documents.

3. Economic stimulus policy + tax cuts

The government also uses "taxes" as an economic stimulus, such as

* Investment deduction

* Support retirement funds.

* Stimulate travel

* Support EV / new technology

Including characteristic measures.

* Easy E-Receipt

* Deposit certain types of goods / services

May return in new ways. ✨

4. Wealth tax / land tax

Even there is no full "wealth tax" yet.

But the long-term trend is

The state wants to increase revenue from

* Land

* Real estate

* Large property

Especially after the public sector has used a lot of stimulus statements over the years.

So people hold multiple units.

Or have rental income.

Should start planning long-term taxes

5. VAT taxes and the digital economy

Even the Thai VAT is still 7%.

But there's a long-term talk of:

* VAT optimization

* Collection of VAT from multinational digital services

* Online platform tax

Such as Netflix, Google, Meta, Tikis Ads, etc.

Which Thailand has started to store partially and may continue to expand.

What ordinary people should prepare for in 2026

Salary man.

* Use the full deduction right.

* Planned RMF / Thai ESG / Insurance

* Keep digital tax documents systematically.

Free Lance / Creator / Healer

* Separate business accounts

* Accounting revenue, expenditure

* Start filing taxes regularly

* Tax money from receiving income

Investor

* Track cost basis

* Separate profit / loss

* Plan tax before selling assets.

Small business owner

* Use e-Tax / e-Receipt to be

* Prepare a digital accounting system.

* Plan VAT in advance.
