The state has lost 60 billion baht of revenue due to import tax evasion by influential car dealers over the past four years, deputy permanent secretary of the Justice Ministry Dusadee Arayawuthi says.
Mr Dusadee, who presented his findings to the Senate sub-committee on graft investigation yesterday, said they were the same old three to four parties that had managed to evade car import duty since 2008.
