Bangkok: The Ministry of Finance has directed the Revenue Department to introduce three tax measures designed to support individuals and businesses impacted by the ongoing security emergency along the Thai-Cambodian border.

According to Thai News Agency, the measures aim to provide relief to those residing in the affected provinces of Trat, Chanthaburi, Sa Kaeo, Buriram, Surin, Sisaket, and Ubon Ratchathani. These initiatives include extending tax filing deadlines, offering deductions for repair costs, and exempting certain relief payments from taxation.

One of the primary measures involves extending the deadline for filing and paying various taxes, including personal and corporate income taxes, withholding tax, VAT, and specific business taxes. The deadline for monetary stamp duty payments has also been pushed to September 30, 2025, to alleviate the burden on taxpayers in the region.

Additionally, the government is providing deductions for repair costs incurred between July 4 and December 31, 2025. Homeowners can deduct up to 100,000 baht for repairs, while car repairs are eligible for deductions up to 30,000 baht.

The third measure focuses on tax exemptions for relief payments. The Revenue Department will exempt personal and corporate income taxes on relief payments received from the government, donations, and certain compensation payments.

Deputy Government Spokesperson Ms. Sasikan Wattanachan emphasized the government’s commitment to supporting those affected, stating that all relevant agencies have been instructed to expedite relief efforts and implement comprehensive assistance measures to help residents recover swiftly.
