The article quoted Nitithanprapas explaining that "the blockchain should help to verify VAT invoices" and "eradicate false invoices for VAT declarations", defining as "priority" the adoption of new technologies ".
Thailand's revenue department also "took into consideration the adoption of machine learning and the use of artificial intelligence to learn and study tax fraud" to "force more people to enter the official tax system ".
As Cointelegraph recently reported, the deputy secretary of the Thai Securities and Exchanges Commission recently said that Thailand-based security tokens (STOs) would breach laws if they were released on international markets.
