Former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra has initiated a new legal challenge to prevent the Revenue Department from claiming his assets due to a tax liability of ฿17.629 billion. This debt, originating from the 2006 sale of Shin Corporation, was affirmed by the Supreme Court in 2025. Thaksin's legal team argues that the state has previously seized ฿46.37 billion related to the same assets in 2010, claiming that further confiscations would be redundant. The Central Tax Court has accepted his case and will evaluate his request for an injunction against additional asset seizures on October 7, 2026. Meanwhile, the Revenue Department is actively pursuing the collection of the outstanding tax amount and is investigating Thaksin's financial holdings. The ongoing dispute highlights two significant Supreme Court rulings regarding the enforcement of tax liabilities.
