The Finance Ministry has announced the exemption of value-added tax (VAT) on digital asset trading, which is a significant tax exemption for cryptocurrency traders. This decision exempts traders from the 7% VAT on earnings derived from trading cryptocurrencies and digital tokens.
財政部宣布免徵數位資產交易增值稅(VAT)，這對加密貨幣交易者來說是一項重大的稅收減免。該決定免除交易者對加密貨幣和數位代幣交易收入徵收 7% 的增值稅。
Paopoom Rojanasakul, secretary of the Finance Minister said the decision is to encourage the growth of the digital asset as a new alternative for fundraising. The VAT exemption is effective on 1 January 2024, with no expiration date. This policy is part of Thailand’s broader efforts to attract crypto investment and to stimulate economic growth, particularly following a challenging year marked by a slowdown in goods exports and the adverse effects of the Covid-19 pandemic on its tourism industry.
財政部長秘書 Paopoom Rojanasakul 表示，這項決定是為了鼓勵數位資產的成長，作為募資的新選擇。增值稅豁免於 2024 年 1 月 1 日生效，無到期日。這項政策是泰國吸引加密投資和刺激經濟成長的更廣泛努力的一部分，特別是在商品出口放緩以及 Covid-19 大流行對其旅遊業產生不利影響的充滿挑戰的一年之後。
The VAT exemption on digital asset trading, which used to be applicable only to authorised digital asset exchanges, now includes brokers and dealers under the supervision of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
數位資產交易的增值稅豁免以前僅適用於授權的數位資產交易所，現在包括受美國證券交易委員會(SEC)監管的經紀商和交易商。
To further cement its status as a digital asset hub, Thailand is considering amendments to the 2019 Securities and Exchange Act, spearheaded by the Finance Ministry and the SEC of Thailand.
為了進一步鞏固其作為數位資產中心的地位，泰國正在考慮由泰國財政部和 美國證券交易委員會領導修訂 2019 年《證券交易法》。
