Tycker nästan synd om dom som jobbar på National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) i Thailand, ett evighetsjobb som saknar något slut, det positiva är väl att de inte riskerar bli arbetslösa inom överskådlig framtid.
Inga småsummor precis, 60 miljarder baht, som korruptionen med importbilar har kostat staten, där över 100 statsanställda är inblandade i bedrägeri.
Car import tax scam has cost state B60bn, hearing told
A tax evasion scam on imports of luxury vehicles involving more than 100 government officials has cost the state at least 60 billion baht in lost revenue, a parliamentary committee was told on Tuesday.
Pol Col Dusadee Arayawuthi, deputy permanent secretary for justice, told the senate subcommittee probing corruption in transport that 10,000 high-end automobiles, mostly from Britain, had been brought into Thailand every year since 2008.
The combined tax loss was around 60 billion baht, given that each vehicle is supposed to be taxed at one million baht or more, he added.
When he was the PACC chief, the agency found about 10,000 invoices of luxury cars imported from Britain were falsified. The prices declared were far below the actual value of the vehicles, an attempt to avoid paying full import taxes.
It suspected that both politicians and Customs Department officials were involved in the scam.
On Tuesday at parliament he voiced his frustration, saying that 108 officials involved in the scam were left untouched.
