Excise delays levy process
The Excise Department has put on hold a process to consider levies on salty food and non-alcoholic beer until the Covid-19 epidemic is under control, its chief says.
Given that containing the deadly virus outbreak is the top priority of the Public Health Ministry, which plays a vital role in mulling both excise taxes, such issues will be reconsidered after the situation improves, said Patchara Anuntasilpa, director-general of the Excise Department.
