Thai government spokesperson Rachada Dhnadirek also touched on her country’s moves towards tokens at a press conference with journalists.
Dhnadirek stated that companies can raise capital and investment issues with tokens instead of traditional methods such as bonds. Thailand, which wants to be at the center of the digitalizing world, has made various initiatives to encourage companies that issue tokens. One of these initiatives has been to waive a few taxes and offer tax breaks.
Government spokesman Dhnadirek stated that the government estimates that there will be a supply of 128 billion baht ($3.71 billion) tokens in the next two years. From these tokens, which will be offered for investment purposes, the government will experience a tax loss of 35 billion baht ($1.01 billion). Thailand is giving up a large amount of taxes because it wants to be at the heart of new technologies.
