Planning for a good tax deduction Like having money left
'Two things that are inevitable are death and taxes' are the phrases that tax gurus often bring to the beginning of the lecture. To show that paying taxes is unavoidable for all taxpayers. When entering the beginning of the year until the beginning of April, taxpayers are busy collecting documents for filing taxes. And the most important is the notification of various deductions which is the income right of every income person. And would it be better if we started to understand and plan the tax deductions early? In order to fully utilize the benefits that the government provides to taxpayers like us.
If you understand and plan well, you will be able to save tax and use that lump sum to invest for the money to grow. The money that we tired of working all year, don't let it turn out that once you have submitted your tax, it will be fleeting just because of a lack of knowledge and tax planning.
We have two tax experts to clarify the plan to reduce personal income tax. Both will explain the tax deduction rights in each item in detail. Especially on issues that many people do not know or may have misunderstandings. So that this year and the next year, we will have money left with us to continue to build more wealth.

Another new issue that many people are interested in is that after 2019, there will be no more LTF, with SSF (Super Saving Fund) in place. Previously, LTF could buy 15% of income, but SSF could buy 30% but must hold investment units for 10 years or more, while LTF holds only 7 years. And SSF can reduce not more than 200,000 baht of income which should be assessed Without having to buy continuously every year There are now two types of long-term mutual fund options that can be used for the tax deduction, SSF, and RMF, with the following differences:
|
SSF (Super Saving Fund) |
RMF (Retirement Mutual Fund) |
|
Reduce the tax by 30% of the assessable income but not over 200,000 baht |
High tax deduction of 30% of the assessable income, but not more than 500,000 baht (previously the maximum purchase amount of 15% is not more than 500,000) |
|
Can invest in all types of securities |
No minimum purchase (Original terms, buy a minimum of 3% of income or 5,000 baht/year whichever is lower) |
|
Holding investment units for not less than 10 years
|
Other conditions remain the same. |
|
No minimum, no need to buy continuously every year |
|
|
Profit from resale is tax-exempt |
* The purchase of SSF, RMF PVD, GPF, annuity insurance, the provincial government shall not exceed 500,000 baht in each tax year.
We have to plan taxes early. To fully exercise the right to tax deduction. If possible, can we notify the employer at the beginning of the year what kind of tax deductions do we have Will receive less tax each month? Giving us more cash flow in our hands which will bring dividends. Investing in the same amount of RMFs every month, or DCA is another option that helps tax planning and can inform employers of future tax reductions. We will be taxed less. SCB has RMF funds with a variety of policies to choose from to diversify and to reduce taxes. It can be ordered like a DCA to discipline investments and use tax deductions with employers in advance because we know exactly how much money we will invest in that year. Remember that pay less tax each month and must pay more tax later. Better to be taxed now. To be pulled a large amount of money out of our hands every month and get it back for another year. In addition, refunds take more time and are being investigated than paying additional taxes. Fully exercise our rights Invest correctly. Tax money will turn into money that grows.
