Since April 9, 2008, ordinary person shareholders who received a dividend from PTTEP that was paid out of the profit, which is subject to tax under the Petroleum Income tax Act, can no longer credit their dividend tax in accordance with the Board of taxation’s Ruling No 37/2551 dated April 9, 2008. However, the dividend paid out of the profit that is subject to tax under the Revenue Code (tax rate 30%) can still credited their dividend tax.
