Thailand entertainment complex projected tax revenue (mature state)
~THB 40-100B per year
Steady-state Thai government tax revenue from entertainment complex GGR is projected at THB 40-100 billion annually per Ministry of Finance scoping work and external consultancy modelling, contingent on the eventual number of licences (2-5), mature-state GGR ramp (USD 5-9 billion), and the 30% GGR tax rate baseline. The revenue captures direct gaming tax only and excludes corporate income tax on the non-gaming complex, hospitality VAT, and induced employment income tax. Bangkok metropolitan, Pattaya/Chonburi, and Phuket are the three principal candidate locations under cabinet discussion.
