B10,000 handout may face legal roadblocksDeputy Finance Minister Julapun Amornvivat speaks to supporters of the digital wallet scheme at the headquarters of the Pheu Thai Party last month. "If we don't do anything and allow the government's public debt to exceed 70%, it would derail the country’s credit rating," said Mr Julapun. By the end of this year, it may be less than 2.5%, said Mr Julapun. The tax refund depends on each person's tax base, he said. For consumers with the highest tax rate of 35%, they are eligible for a tax refund of 17,500 baht.
