Thailand tillhandahåller skattelättnader för kryptoföretag
- Thailand har sett en enorm tillväxt i kryptorelaterade aktiviteter under de senaste månaderna.
- Myndigheterna i det asiatiska landet har gjort betydande ansträngningar för att skapa klarhet i regelverket.
The digital asset market in Thailand has seen a huge boom in recent months, and the nation’s government is seeking to leverage that growth with its new policy. According to a Reuters reportera, Thailand’s cabinet decided to exempt businesses that offer digital tokens for investment from corporate income tax and value-added tax.
Vice regeringens talesman Rachada Dhnadirek avslöjade att företag kommer att förses med andra kapitalkällor genom investeringstokens utöver traditionella alternativ som skuldebrev. Enligt Rachada räknar regeringen med att under de kommande två åren kommer utbudet av investeringstoken att uppgå till 128 miljarder baht ($3,71 miljarder), vilket kommer att kosta dem 35 miljarder baht i förlorade skatteintäkter.
Thailand har gjort betydande ansträngningar to clarify its domestic tax laws governing cryptocurrencies. In early 2022, the government proposed that investors be subject to a 15% capital gains tax. However, the government abandoned the proposals.
Last year, Thailand’s Securities and Exchange Commission issued a ban on the use of cryptocurrencies for payments. In addition, Thailand’s finance regulator recently released restrictions for cryptocurrency custody after banning cryptocurrency companies from providing staking and lending services last year and tightening the limits for crypto advertising. Thailand’s central bank has also taken part in international initiatives to evaluate central bank digital currencies.
