FIRMS TO RECEIVE DOUBLE
WINDFALL AS MINIMUM WAGES RISE
Companies with annual sales that
do not exceed 100 million baht
per year are expected to be able
to benefit from a double windfall
from the government as new reforms
come into force to increase
minimum wage levels.
The windfalls cover small and medium-sized
enterprises (SMEs) in
17 provinces where average minimum
wages are expected to rise
by 5 baht per employee per day.
The 17 provinces include Maha
Sarakham, Sukhothai, Tak, Sri Sa
Ket, Satun, Ratchaburi and Chaiyaphum.
The total tax deduction
amounts to 115 per cent of the
amount of the increase paid to
employees, allowing firms to cover
the additional wages and still gain
up to 4.3 baht per employee per
day as an additional credit.
Another 60 provinces will see
minimum wages rise by more
than 5 baht per day (from 6 to
22 baht), and in these cases the
windfall will not exist but the government
will still shoulder some of
the costs involved.
As an example, in some provinces
where minimum wages will rise by
15 to 19 baht to 323 baht per day,
employers will only have to shoulder
5.5 baht of the rise with the
rest covered by the government.
In some others provinces where
the minimum wage rise is around
9.8 baht per day to 313.5 baht,
employers will only have to bear
0.4 baht of the cost. Provinces
in this bracket include Ranong,
Loei, Trang, Surin, Sa Kaeo, Kanchanaburi,
Narathiwat and Udon
Thani.
In the top three provinces, Phuket,
Rayong, and Chonburi, minimum
wages will increase by 21.3 baht
to 330 baht per day and companies
can get back 9.9 baht meaning
they will only have to cover
11.4 baht of the increase.
The government incentives will be
in force from April 1st 2018 until
the end of the year.
In total around 400,000 small and
medium sized enterprises will
benefit from the measures and on
average employer’s costs will only
rise by 1.2 per cent overall. The
cost to the revenue department is
expected to be around 5.4 billion
baht.
Other measures announced at the
same time include a tax deduction
for new investments in start up
companies amounting to 100,000
baht or more in ten target industries.
The industries are robotics
for industry, logistics and aviation,
agriculture and biotechnology,
food, next-generation cars, digital
and medical services, affluent
medical and wellness tourism,
biofuels and biochemicals, and
smart electronics.
The Investments must be made
for two consecutive years of 2018
and 2019 to be valid, and the
startups must have a registered
capital of 5 million baht or more.
As well, their total income should
be below 30 million baht per year.
