This collaboration marks a significant milestone in strengthening cooperation between the public and private sectors through the transition of oil?related data management from paper?based documentation to electronic data systems. The initiative aims to enhance the accuracy, speed, and auditability of data linkage, thereby elevating excise?tax administration into the digital era, supporting preparedness for future carbon?tax mechanisms and enhances regulatory oversight with greater transparency and efficiency.
The project reflects the shared commitment of all participating parties to leveraging information technology to establish new standards in the administration and collection of excise taxes on oil and petroleum products, reinforcing Thailand's readiness for modern, data?driven fiscal governance and long?term energy?transition policies.
