Former Khun Klang, teaching the government to solve problems

On September 7, Mr Sommai, former Minister of Finance, revealed that the government has to increase VAT and VAT from 7 percent to 9 percent or up 2 percent, which will increase income of 1.2 hundred thousand. Million baht to solve the problem of COVID-19 And revitalize the economy Because the prospect of using a single loan will soon be a fiscal problem, it is expected that in 2021 the share of public debt to GDP will exceed 60 percent per GDP, exceeding the fiscal sustainability framework set in January. . 2021 The government has to raise the VAT tax.

Because otherwise the country's money will not die. Only to borrow money, the country collapsed from debt so high that there was no money to pay off the debt. People misunderstand that the economy should not raise taxes. Because the collection of taxes did not leave the pile But the tax came, the government used it to restore the economy. And the government does not have to fear that the tax hike will lose the popular vote. Because now there is no one popular with the government, said Sommai

Mr. Sommai said that in addition to collecting taxes The government should reduce regular expenditures, which is a reduction in civil servants' salaries. And state enterprise employees That now there are more people than jobs The more COVID-19 Work less but earn the same salary Different pay for private companies At now there is a reduction in expenditure, most of which have been reduced to at least 25 percent of employees.

The government must solve the economic crisis in a different way. Stay like this, do the same way, nothing better. I think the prime minister doesn't dare to do it. But I have to tell you if you don't Sommai said the government should pay more attention to taxation on property. Taxation of land and buildings should not reduce the burden from 100% to 10%, resulting in local income expected to be collected more than 100 billion baht, expected this year to collect less than 20 billion baht and should be improved. Inheritance tax, at present, the taxation of one hundred million baht only Which is considered very low Because the law was amended to prevent taxation

The government has more than a year to prepare to collect land and buildings taxes. But didn't care to proceed at all Make it unavailable Tax invoices were sent to some people, some of them not. It's all messed up because it doesn't care because there's no benefit. And also to reduce taxes, causing more problems to local income, ”said Sommai.

Mr. Sommai said that the resignation of Pridi Daochai from the position of Minister of Finance after working less than a month. Because of the mixed health and political problems, Mr. Pridi may not know that the amount of work in the Minister of Finance position is high and has to decide the time market. Causing no time to rest until causing health problems It is also being accepted by politics. Whether it is an appointment of government officials And someone sent a letter to the Board of Directors of the Bank for Agriculture and Agricultural Cooperatives (BAAC) to sign to resign from office even though Nan Pridi, who is the Chairman of the BAAC, did not know about it, causing Mr. Pridi. I think it's better to resign.
