Thailand Bets Big on Crypto With 5-Year Tax Exemption Plan

Reading Time: < 1 minute

Thailand’s government has approved a significant tax incentive: no capital gains taxes on crypto trades until 2030. The exemption applies only to transactions made through licensed domestic exchanges that meet strict SEC and FATF compliance standards.

Deputy Finance Minister Julapun Amornvivat framed this as part of Thailand’s broader ambition to become Southeast Asia’s premier financial technology center.

The policy recognizes crypto’s growing role in corporate fundraising and technological innovation.

Government projections suggest the tax break could stimulate over 1 billion baht in economic activity while ultimately increasing tax revenues through broader market growth and business expansion in the digital asset sector.
