Holiday shoppers line up for their tax-break receipts during year-end shopping a year ago. (Bangkok Post file photo)Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha on Tuesday ordered the Finance Ministry to prepare tax breaks for year-end shopping to stimulate consumption. "The government has used the measure the past two years, and we still see it as essential to boost consumption. The shopping tax break at the end of this year will help stimulate consumption in the short term, he said. The government is likely to offer year-end tax breaks for shoppers again this year in order to stimulate consumption.
