Stores rejecting Thailand’s co-payment scheme fearing back taxes

Today 00:25 Key points summarised by AI

Thai eateries and stores are increasingly refusing the government's 50:50 co-payment stimulus scheme, despite its sales-boosting effects.
The primary reason for rejection is fear of revenue officials demanding back taxes, with some businesses claiming they have already faced significant tax demands.
The Fiscal Policy Office insists the co-payment scheme is not linked to the Revenue Department's database, asserting that back taxes should not be a problem for participating small entrepreneurs.
The office clarified that only businesses earning over 1.8 million baht annually are required to register for VAT, with penalties for non-compliance.
