Excise Dept expects more car tax under new structure

The Excise Department expects to collect between Bt5 billion and Bt10 billion more in car taxes after the emission-based tax structure goes into effect next year.

The new excise tax is based on carbon-dioxide emissions instead of engine capacity.
Somchai Poolsawasdi, director-general of the department, said Wednesday that the rise in revenue was expected as some car models could not meet the emission requirements.
