Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha has ordered responsible state agencies to re-evaluate existing consumption stimulus packages, particularly the Ying Chai Ying Dai (the more you spend, the more you get) e-voucher cashback scheme, which has attracted fewer participants than expected.
Government spokesman Anucha Burapachaisri said Gen Prayut issued the order at a meeting of the Centre for Economic Situation Administration (CESA) on Thursday to consider the possibility of reinstating the Shop Dee Mee Khuen scheme that offers a tax deduction for individual taxpayers of up to 30,000 baht when purchasing goods or services.
