ChatGPT said:\n\nThailand has begun moving forward by implementing carbon tax collection. The carbon tax is one of the key measures adopted by the Thai government to drive the nation toward achieving carbon neutrality by 2050 and net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2065. This serves as Thailand\u2019s global commitment to seriously mitigate the impacts of climate change. In addition, other environmental and climate-related legislations are currently under review and are expected to be enacted in the near future.<\/span><\/p>

The government is pushing forward as the Cabinet has approved, in principle, the issuance of a ministerial regulation to impose a carbon tax of 200 baht per ton, supporting Thailand\u2019s path toward Net Zero. The Deputy Minister of Finance confirmed that the measure will not affect fuel prices or business operating costs.\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/h1>

On January 21, 2025, Mr. Pichai Chunhavajira, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance, revealed that the Cabinet had approved in principle the draft Ministerial Regulation on the determination of excise tax rates for the carbon pricing mechanism, which will be collected from oil and petroleum products. This draft regulation, proposed by the Excise Department under the Ministry of Finance, aims to use taxation as a tool to encourage businesses and the public to adjust their energy consumption behaviors, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and promote environmental sustainability.<\/span><\/p>
