Law on taxing performers has been the subject of a long campaign.
Foreign actors will soon be exempt from taxation for work in Thailand following a move by the government to boost international production in the country.
The Thai cabinet passed the law on Tuesday (June 22) with the new measure valid for five years and expected to come into effect within the next three months.
All employees in Thailand are subject to a withholding tax, which varies by occupation and nationality: 5 for Thai performers and 10 for foreign performers. The tax is based on where the work is performed, not where they are paid.
