BANGKOK (Reuters) - Thailand's cabinet on Tuesday approved a financial transaction tax on securities trades on the Stock Exchange of Thailand, ending a three-decade waiver, the country's deputy finance minister said on Tuesday.
The tax of 0.1% has been waived for a long time and other countries have also collected such a tax, Santi Promphat told reporters. The tax should take effect early next year, he added.
