Online gold trades could face new limits, tax reporting under PM’s directive

13 Sept 08:38 Key points summarised by AI

Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul directs the Anti-Money Laundering Office (AMLO) to regulate online virtual gold trading, establishing it as the central hub for transaction data to combat money laundering.
New measures will adjust the reporting threshold for gold trades and enable the Revenue Department to tax online gold transactions, which are currently tax-free; the SEC will also impose the Travel Rule on digital asset trading.

Application for ‘Nene Royal’ trademark withdrawn

Yesterday 18:24 Key points summarised by AI

A third-party application for "NENE" and "NENE ROYAL" trademarks was officially withdrawn, resolving a high-profile dispute over the Thai pop artist's name.
Black Lotus Global LLC, managing Nene Royal's rights, has legitimate trademark applications for various categories under fast-track processing, with final approval anticipated by February 2027.
The Department of Intellectual Property (DIP) monitors international trademark filings to protect Thai creators and advises early registration to prevent unauthorized third-party claims, noting a "NENE" trademark already registered in South Korea.
