A Bhumjaithai MP has proposed amending four laws, including those for the Thai Health Promotion Foundation (สสส.), Thai PBS, the elderly fund and sports fund. The change would stop the extra excise-tax earmarks on alcohol and tobacco being paid straight to these bodies and instead allocate them through the annual budget. The government says it is about transparency; critics question political control. The bill is only proposed, not passed. For a Thai SME, it matters mainly if you supply or receive funding from these funds (health promotion grants, media or sports programmes, elderly-care projects). Watch for the budget process rather than acting now.
