Overview
Q4 has shown active developments in regulations around cyberspace and data, with three major pieces of legislation moving forward: the Cybersecurity Bill, Personal Data Protection Bill, and the National Digital Identification Bill. The government is also moving to amend the revenue code to better capture e-commerce taxation. These legislations demonstrate the high priority Thailand places on the digital economy, and their efforts to achieve the vision Thailand 4.0, especially as digital innovation is a key theme for Thailand’s 2019 ASEAN Chairmanship Year. These legislations will require companies to be vigilant in compliance regarding new obligations and rules around data, critical information infrastructure and cybersecurity.
