&OR THE DEDUCTION OF EXCISE TAX PAYMENT FROM THE REVENUE SHARING )T WAS THE GOVERNMENT POLICY WHICH AIMED TO CONVERT CERTAIN AMOUNT OF REVENUE SHARING UNDER THE !GREEMENT INTO THE EXCISE TAX PAYMENT IN CONNECTION WITH THE TRANSFORMATION OF THE THEN 4ELEPHONE /RGANIZATION OF 4HAILAND TO A PUBLIC COMPANY LIMITED UNDER THE MAIN PRINCIPLE THAT I THERE SHALL BE NO DAMAGE TO THE 3TATE WHO WOULD RECEIVE THE SAME REVENUE SHARING AND II NO ADDITIONAL FINANCIAL BURDEN TO THE PRIVATE OPERATOR AND THE SERVICE USERS 4HUS AFTER SUMMING UP THE EXCISE TAX PAYMENT AND THE REVENUE SHARING AFTER DEDUCTION OF EXCISE TAX THE 3TATE I E THE -INISTRY OF &INANCE THE %XCISE $EPARTMENT AND 4/4 WHOSE OF ITS SHARES ARE HELD BY THE -INISTRY OF &INANCE WOULD RECEIVE THE SAME NET INCOME WITHOUT ANY DAMAGE
