The Thai government has decided to exempt crypto transfers from value-added tax (VAT) payments until December 31, 2023, following a royal decree, the Bangkok Post reported.
According to The Block, this new ruling is in addition to a previous waiver on VAT levied on crypto and digital asset transactions that were enacted in March. This exemption will also expire at the end of 2023.
