The Excise Department says a revised EV car tax is still being discussed with the Finance Ministry and has not yet gone to the EV Board or cabinet. Three principles were set: less pure EV importing, more EV production and export hub growth in Thailand, and higher value-added local content in the supply chain. For a Thai SME, this signals that tax incentives may shift toward local parts makers and suppliers. Nothing is final and no dates or rates were given, so there is no action needed yet beyond watching for the cabinet decision.
