All gas stations in Bangkok will be required to pay another 5 satang for every liter of gas sold beginning in October.
The city coffers expect about THB500 million in revenue from the imposition of the new local tax on sales of benzene, diesel and petroleum, the city announced yesterday.
There are approximately 800 gas stations in Bangkok, and they must submit their sales records and pay the tax between Oct. 15 – 31.
The same fuel tax went into effect last week in the far South, causing several gas stations to close in protest, Daily News reported.
