Income Tax

In 2023, the Company reported a profit before income tax of 5,708.2 million baht. The income tax expenses for the year amounted to 658.6 million baht, resulting in effective tax rate of 11.54%. It is worth noting that the actual tax rate was lower than the corporate income tax rate of 20% due to variances in tax calculations arising from the disparity between accounting and taxation principles.
