Abstract:
The purpose of this research is to study the concepts, formats, rules and conditions of income tax measures for promoting and supporting the management of private schools under the provision of the Revenue Code. There is an exemption of income tax for any of those who manage a private school as business. However, there are inappropriate objectives for the exemption of the income tax concerning the state tax policy and equality of taxation. This issue can lead all the tutorial schools to be exempted from such tax the same as the private school in the system. From the study, we have found that the tax measures, for which the private sector is encouraged to join and manage educational system by being exempted from income tax is effective in South Korea. On the contrary, in Thailand, there are issues in purposes of managing educational system which are interrelated but partially dissimilar between the tutorial schools and the private school in the system. Exemption of the income tax for both parties is therefore considered unfair and can lead to an inequality in taxation. In addition, the educational system in Thailand will be affected due to insufficiency of the State Revenue from those tutorial schools who have derived a lot of profit from the enterprise. Therefore, the government should consider improving the appropriate format of using tax measures with the tutorial schools which are exempted by collecting income tax from those entrepreneurs. This method can be fulfilled by legislating Ministerial Regulations and Royal Decrees to improve the current existing provisions of tax measures.
