Taxes on tutorial schools to be discussed
Play
Relevant authorities will try to work out by January 18 how tutorial schools can be taxed, Bundit Sriputtangul, secretary-general of the Office of the Private Education Commission, said yesterday.
He said his office had presented information on the pros and cons of such a tax to representatives of the Revenue Department, Council of State, Office of the Basic Education Commission and Office of the Education Council.
The move follows a Cabinet resolution that all tutorial schools should start paying taxes.
“According to the National Education Act and the Private Education Act, private schools enjoy either tax exemption or tax reduction,” Bundit said.
“So we will need to amend relevant laws.”
