A proposed law change would move four funds (Thai PBS, Thai Health Promotion Foundation (สสส.), the National Sports Development Fund and the elderly fund) from earmarked sin-tax levies on alcohol and tobacco to the annual state budget. Academics at a Thai PBS forum argued the 1.5% levy is an extra fee on producers, not a share of excise tax, and the funds total about 14,000 million baht (about 0.5% of the budget). Critics warn annual budget funding could expose the bodies to political pressure. No change applies to a business yet; the proposal is still being debated.
