Tax Planning under Renewable Energy Incentives: Evidence from Solar Rooftop Policy

2026-05-11T15:29:59+07:00

This article aims to study and analyze tax measures to promote the installation of rooftop solar power systems in Thailand. It examines the role of tax measures as a fiscal instrument used by the government to stimulate investment in clean energy, reduce electricity costs for citizens, and support the sustainable energy transition goals. Data is collected and analyzed from tax laws, government measures, reports from relevant agencies, and academic literature on environmental taxation, renewable energy, and tax incentives. The study found that Thailand's rooftop solar tax measures have the potential to incentivize households and businesses to invest more in clean energy. However, significant limitations exist regarding the clarity of criteria, accessibility of taxpayers' benefits, the adequacy of the deduction limit, and the linkage between the tax measures and the overall power purchase agreement and energy policy. Compared to other countries, successful initiatives tend to design tax measures that are coupled with financial mechanisms, energy regulations, and continuous investment support systems. Therefore, Thailand should develop clearer, fairer, and more aligned rooftop solar tax measures to suit the capabilities of different taxpayer groups. Furthermore, a monitoring and evaluation mechanism should be established to ensure the measures effectively promote renewable energy and strike a balance between economic benefits, energy sustainability, and government fiscal efficiency.

The study was conducted in a public school located in the lower northern region of Thailand. The key informants consisted of six participants, including school administrators, teachers, and educational personnel. Data were collected through interviews and document analysis and analyzed using content analysis with thematic analysis techniques.
The findings revealed that: 1) the major factors contributing to the implementation of quiet hiring included limitations in human resources and budget, teachers’ workload from both routine and urgent tasks, as well as continuous changes in educational policies. These conditions encouraged administrators to adopt quiet hiring practices in order to enhance administrative flexibility by assigning additional responsibilities and maximizing teachers’ potential. Situational leadership was also employed to adjust directions, communication, and support according to teachers’ levels of readiness, which helped promote professional development and work motivation. 2) The impacts of quiet hiring were found to be both positive and negative. At the individual level, teachers gained greater opportunities for self-development and professional advancement; however, they also faced increased workloads and work-life imbalance. At the organizational level, schools were able to continue implementing educational policies effectively and achieve their designated goals.

This research aimed to: 1) study the situation of Cambodian agricultural labor in Khao Chakan District, Sa Kaeo Province; 2) investigate the impacts of the Cambodian agricultural labor shortage in Khao Chakan District, Sa Kaeo Province; and 3) determine guidelines and recommendations to address the Cambodian agricultural labor shortage in Khao Chakan District, Sa Kaeo Province. Using a mixed-methods research approach, the research sample consisted of 381 agricultural entrepreneurs, including growers of rice, cassava, sugarcane, animal feed corn, rubber, oil palm, and longan. Using a multi-stage sampling method, the informants included a group of government officials, a group of community leaders, and a group of farmer representatives, totaling 12 people. The selection method used was purposive. The research instruments included questionnaires, semi-structured interviews, and in-depth interviews. Data were analyzed using percentages, means, standard deviations, and content analysis.

The research findings revealed the following: 1) The reliance on Cambodian labor was at the highest level ( = 4.80). Conflict situations were a significant intervening factor causing a sudden decrease in the labor force. The qualitative research indicated that workers returned to their home country due to safety concerns. 2) The most significant impacts were the stress and workload placed on employers ( = 4.85), as well as crop damage resulting from delayed harvesting ( = 4.79). The qualitative findings pointed out that farmers had to bear higher wage costs due to local competition for labor. 3) The most highly agreed-upon solutions were substituting human labor with agricultural machinery ( = 4.88) and establishing flexible, task-specific labor MOUs ( = 4.75). The findings suggest that government policies should adapt the management of foreign labor reliance to align with the border security context, thereby reducing structural risks for local farmers.
