Senior citizens above 75, reliant on pensions and welfare programs, are exempt from income taxes and IT returns

Publisher’s rating: FALSE

The review says the government did not exempt people over 75 from paying income tax. It explains that some people aged 75 or older can be exempt from filing a return if they meet specified conditions, including having only pension and interest income from the bank that pays their pension; applicable taxes are deducted by that bank.

รัฐบาลเตรียมขึ้นภาษีมูลค่าเพิ่ม (VAT) จาก 7% เป็น 15%

Publisher’s rating: Misleading

The review reports that the government was studying tax restructuring, including the possibility of aligning VAT with rates elsewhere, but that raising VAT to 15% was only an idea and no decision had been made. It says that on December 4, Finance Minister Pichai clarified that the proposal was still under consideration and that no VAT increase had been announced.
