Thaksin hit with summons for Bt17.6-bn tax bill
Play
The Revenue Department on Tuesday issued a tax summons demanding former premier Thaksin Shinawatra pay back taxes and fines worth Bt17.63 billion. Tax officials lodged the summons at Thaksin’s home on Charansanitwong Road.
Thaksin can appeal to the Revenue Department’s tax committee within 30 days.
If the tax committee rules against him, he can appeal to the Central Tax Court.
The Revenue Department action came after the government instructed it to do so before the March 31 deadline of the summons issuance.
The controversial tax liability is considered to have been incurred from the sale of Shin Corp shares in 2006.
