Thailand

= The Act on User Charges for the Use of Local Public Services in Thailand

The authority of Thai local governments in the collection of User Charges mainly

relies on these 8 following Acts: 1) The Act of Decentralization to Local Government, 2542
B.E; 2) the Provincial Administration Act, 2540 B.E, the Amendment (No. 4), 2552 B.E;
3) the Municipal Act, 2496 B.E, the Amendment (No. 13) 2552 B.E; 4) The Subdistrict

Council and Administration Act, 2537 B.E , the Amendment (No. 6), 2552 B.E;
5) The Bangkok Administration Act, 2528 B.E; 6) The Pattaya City Administration Act 2542,
the Amendment (No. 2) 2552 B.E; 7) the Municipal Act, the Amendment (No. 3) 2534

B.E; and 8) the Regulations of the Ministry of Interior on the Provincial Administration on User
Charges for the user of public service provided by Provincial Administrative Organization 2541
B.E; and other relevant Acts.

Currently, local governments have the authority to levy up to 30 categories of User
Charges as defined in the E-LAAS (Electronic Local Administrative Accounting System), but
which categories are implemented depends on what kinds of public services local governments

provide.

= Local Revenues from User Charges in Thailand

After considering the overall situations of local revenues, the fiscal year 2008-2013
showed a low proportion, less than 3% of the total revenue from fees, fines, permits, utilities,
and Local Public Enterprises. The revenue is not likely to increase each year.

If considering the revenues through types of local governments including Provincial
Administrative Organization municipalities, Bangkok, and Pattaya City (Information from Fiscal
Policy Office: No data from Subdistrict Administration), the fiscal year 2008-2013 showed

that Pattaya City had the largest proportion of User Charges with a yearly average of 11.83 %
because Pattaya City’s revenues from wastewater treatment service were very high. The
second highest of the revenues is municipalities with a yearly average of 3.4 %. The third

highest of the revenues is Bangkok with a yearly average of 1.93 %. The last rank of the
revenues is Provincial Administration with a yearly average of 0.47 %.
