Bangkok, 18 September 2019 – The SEC is seeking public comments on draft regulations relating to annual fee regime for intermediaries, which aim to improve equality for all licensees and the ease of doing business.
The
SEC proposed to amend the regulations relating to annual fee regime for
intermediaries to improve equality of fee rate among intermediaries operating
the same activities and to ease the burden of intermediaries by revising the
period of fee payment. The public hearing on the principles for amending the
rules took place from 17 July to 20 August 2019.
The proposed amendments have taken into
account the public comments gathered from the previous hearing whereby the
calculation of the fees on Thai government bond dealing activities would be
revised to reduce the burden on bond dealers and support national monetary and
fiscal policy.
The consultation paper is available at
www.sec.or.th/hearing. Stakeholders and interested parties are
welcome to submit comments through the website, or contact Intermediaries
Policy Department via email: insec@sec.or.th. The public hearing ends on 30
September 2019.
