Deputy Finance Minister Julapun Amornvivat is urging state agencies to discuss the government's plan to include casinos in entertainment complexes.
The talks aim to finalize by mid-October and will address tax collection in compliance with the State Fiscal and Financial Disciplines Act.
The Act mandates that tax collection duties remain under the Customs, Revenues, and Excise departments.
Despite the House’s suggestion for a new gambling-related fund, existing regulations prevent establishing redundant funds.
The government plans to involve private investors and aims for comprehensive guidelines to regulate these entertainment complexes.
Companies like Walt Disney and Universal Studios could join if they adhere to transparent procedures.
Julapun emphasized thorough project assessments to mitigate economic and social impacts.
