KResearch Warns Thai Firms on EU Carbon Tax
Published on 26/09/2025
» Bangkok, September 26, 2025 - The European Union (EU) is set to begin collecting a carbon tax under the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) early next year.

Thailand still awaits the implementation of mandatory domestic measures, but delays in legislation could place Thai businesses at a competitive disadvantage.
