Finance Minister Ekniti says a special business tax on online gold trades without physical delivery is under study and conclusions are expected soon. The aim is to track transactions and close off grey-money channels, not to raise revenue. The gold traders' association will meet him, and the Revenue Department and Bank of Thailand plan a separate tax framework and a cap on large online gold transactions. If your business buys or sells gold online or takes gold as payment, check how your transactions are recorded and expect reporting duties; honest operators should be protected under the planned talks.
