Thailand approves 17% personal income tax ceiling for returnees

Thailand's cabinet approved a personal income tax cap of 17% for Thais working overseas who return home to work, a deputy finance minister said on Tuesday, in a bid to draw back local talent.

The ceiling will last for five years after it is launched, Paopoom Rojanasakul said, and will also include a tax deduction for their employers.
