Motor Expo 2026

This is the second consecutive year of economic stimulation by the Ministry of Finance, encouraging people to shop for the nation! By giving a gift to Thais: buy products-services between December 14-31, 2016, and use receipts for a tax deduction, up to 15,000 baht. Therefore, salary earners like us should seize this opportunity quickly!

Now let's see what types of products can be used for tax deductions? For products that can be used for tax deductions, they must be products subject to Value Added Tax (VAT), such as:

**That's not all; expenses in the automotive category can also be deducted: -Cost of car accessories, car parts, and car repairs (repairs and service payments must be completed between December 14-31, 2016 etc.

All purchases or services must be from shops that pay Value Added Tax (VAT) and can issue a full tax invoice. This means they must be VAT-registered shops that can issue tax invoices, such as department stores. For general shops, you must first inquire whether they are VAT-registered and can issue a full tax invoice. If they can issue a full tax invoice, we can use that product for tax deduction.

Now that we know what products are tax deductible, we recommend one of the Gadget  essential items for car owners that are also tax deductible, falling under the category of (IT equipment, computers, smartphones) which is "dash cam" or "helmet camera" for bikers. Because many of you may not have had the opportunity to shop at our MOTOR EXPO 2016 .

Nowadays, a dash cam is an important part of a security system that can record significant events, whether in case of an accident or to record scenery while driving on trips outside the city. A dash cam also helps ensure that you don't become a victim of crime or a road accident. Have it as evidence for yourself and to help others, because the recorded footage is excellent evidence. There's no need to argue about who is right or wrong. Today's car dash cams offer a wide selection, from budget-friendly cameras to Full HD, so you can choose according to your budget.

You will see that the price of a decent quality camera may not reach 15,000 baht, but it is simply an important item we want to recommend everyone to have in their car, because for car users, even if we haven't used some things yet, we have them in our car to help society or our fellow travelers... For those who are not ready, want to save money, or buy other necessary items first, that's fine. We offer this as a guideline for those who are ready!

Many people might frantically buy...buy...buy anything to reach 15,000 baht, because they think they can get a deduction of 15,000 baht. In reality, it must be calculated according to the tax bracket you are currently paying. To get a clearer picture, see the table below, which divides tax rates into brackets based on net income.
