The cabinet approved support measures for the U-Tapao airport and Aviation City in the Eastern Economic Corridor. Companies operating there may deduct CAPEX and OPEX at 2x for corporate income tax, and air-transport firms may get a lower CIT rate, both for 5-year periods. Foreign-worker and EECa Visa rules are also planned. The government aims to have the measures in force by 30 September 2026, but the laws are not yet passed. If you have a business in or near the EEC, or supply to it, check eligibility once the rules are published. Otherwise this is background.
