Saw in this morning's Bangkok Post that there'll be a 15,000 baht tax allowance deduction for people dining at restaurants, staying at hotels etc between 9 and 15 April. Also a 1k handout for government officials and low income earners - not quite sure how that works although I thought (allegedly) govt officials generally help themselves to handouts  Tax break, handout lead stimulus plan Stimulus measures to spur domestic spending during Songkran will include a tax deduction of up to 15,000 baht for dining and travel expenses and a 1,000-baht cash handout to low- and middle-ranking state...

Just heard that the 15k allowance has now been approved by the cabinet. I believe the dates are 9 to 17 April. Small but nice gift. We'll be down in Hua Hin for that. Just need to remember the receipts from the hotel for tax purposes  |

Interesting that it says "dining"... On tax invoices they usually write 'food and beverages' and give a total only, so looks like this can be a nice tax break for the drinkers as well as the dinners...

I'm waiting to see what happens to my 2015 tax filings for "food and beverages" allowance Encouraged by Smokie, we had a bill for 6,000+ for Christmas Day "food and beverages" last year |
