The Finance Ministry told the Gold Traders Association it has no plan to impose a gold tax right now. The focus instead is a Centralized AML Intelligence Platform to link transaction data across about 7,000 small gold shops and flag customers, since splitting purchases below the 2 million baht ID-registration threshold is the loophole being targeted. The association expects anti-grey-capital measures this year, possibly several, and opposes any gold tax. For gold shop owners, expect tighter customer ID and transaction checks; keep records of splits and buyer details. No tax change takes effect yet.
