Thai PM Thaksin wins tax case against Revenue Dept

The exiled Thai prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra has won a tax case involving the Revenue Department after the Central Tax Courtruled that the department s order for his two children to pay 17 billion baht in back taxes and interest over the sale of shares in Shin Corporation to Singapore government s Temasek Holdings Limited was unconstitutional.

The court said that the two children, Panthongtae and Pintongtha, were just proxies of Thaksin and the department's tax appraisal summons for both of them was unreliable, adding that the department should have served the summons directly on Thaksin himself.
