Toyota Thailand says it has asked the government to restructure excise tax so locally produced cars and imported EVs (mainly Chinese) are taxed on a more equal footing, and wants it done as fast as possible. It reports positive signals after talks but no decision yet. For a Thai SME, this matters mainly if you work in auto parts, dealing, leasing or EV charging: pricing of imported EVs could shift once the rules change. Plan for possible change, but do not act on it until the Excise Department announces the new rates.
