Nowadays the style and way of spending life is changing. People lack of control in many things in their daily life. The additional products become more necessary than ever. There are some doubts of why the taxation of The Excise Department doesn’t support this change.
Many products are still being in over price due to determination of tax rate. And the supplement product is one of the best example in this case. And this over price leads to the limitation the chance of people to maintain their standard of living during this period of changing.

The trend of healthy life becomes more popular and people now wake up with this trend also. And the supplement product is the key factor that is more considerable to support this change. Because people are unable to select the food that completely contain quality nutrition in their meal during one day.
Due to people are limited the time by their routine activity in rush time of working. In order to maintain and improve the physical ability, the regular food is not enough to support this purpose. This is the answer of why we have to depend on the supplement product.
The supplement product becomes more necessary to progress daily life. Because it’s convenient to use and we can select the nutrition to match with our each particular purpose or even use along with the medical treatment.
Everyone has the rights to take care own self. It is the basic of human rights that everyone can do anything to maintain and improve own standard of living to reach the well-being life. It’s the rights to protect and prevent own self from the disease, physical or health disorder.
And the supplement product opens the chance to reach this life’s goal. Because people sometimes expect to relieve, treat or recover from the health disorder by avoid using the chemical medicine.
“I’ve the serious allergy. My symptoms are prickly heat on skin and hives when I can’t control my inside temperature and feel too hot or dry and my doctor recommend to use the VitaminC 500 mg. and additional protein supplement to support my immune system along with medical treatment,” said Miss Vorakarn Singhato, the graduated student of Chulalongkorn University. “Now I’m better and the symptoms are recovered.”
There are many types of supplement products which are produced to match and support the different purposes of consumer. Some are distributed by doctor and some are produced to use by free and mass purposes.
The supplement product can be divided into many categories depend on using purpose. For example; Heart health support, Weight lost support and Muscle building, Brain support, Bone support, Anti-Aging and etc’.
“I recommend using the supplement product because now we can’t control or select the perfect food to consume. So we use the supplement in order to support the physical ability or well-recovering from hard working and illness,” said Mr. Somsak Neeranatpuree, pharmacist and owner of Rajthavee Pharmacy. “VitaminC 1000 mg. have to be derived from orange or sour fruit about more than 1 Kg. And VitaminC plays as a main factor to be an anti-oxidation in human body. It’s the amount that human is unable to get VitaminC 1000 mg. from regular meal.”
Even there have much talking about the necessity of the use of the supplement product. But the price is still unreasonable. According to the information of The Excise Department and The Revenue Department, the net price of imported supplement product is jumped into 200-300% including the shipping cost plus with the tax rate.
Due to it has been identified as the extravagant goods. And the departments consider it’s unnecessary in life spending while the costs of imported fashionable frame of sunglasses or Apple IPod are still cheaper in tax rate.
“The department defines the tax rate of imported supplement product up to 200-300% and 50-100% for supplement product that have the manufacturing in domestic from the real price,” said Mrs. Vanyuda Sansubtawee, the officer in The Excise Department. “It’s unreasonable and unacceptable because it’s more necessary for this time to use this kind of product while the power of Thai Manufacturing is still unable to produce the supplement product as developed country can do.”
Thai Manufacturing technology hasn’t reached to enough power to produce this product to distribute to people yet. So we have to depend on the imported product if we want to respond the trend or more necessity of the healthy life at this time.
This overprice are limiting the people’ chance and rights of using product by its too expensive cost. It’s not acceptable that consumers have to purchase over 200-300% from products’ real price in order to use for take care their health.
This unreasonable taxation leads to selling of smuggled goods, contraband or even selling of the fake product. This is the danger that consumer has to face while seeking for the supplement product if they can’t purchase for the real national tax rate.
According to the information from Health Line of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the fake supplement product now is widely trading in the market such as small booth or shelf at the department store or online shopping on website.
Some are derived from the empty capsules that contain pure normal flour. But some are produced from the dangerous compound which is cheap cost and easy to buy. Even there is the real product that imported as smuggled goods, it will not be guaranteed by the systematic contract between manufacturer and branch seller about the expired date of product.
“I had ever used the GNC product that sells at the department store but it was too expensive and I couldn’t stand for this unfairness of this tax rate,” Miss Korarat Chaimuangraj, GNC’s customer. “Now I always order my friend for buying product from USA and ship to me because I can avoid taxing and just purchasing for the same price that sells in USA and the shipping cost only.”
If there is still unsolved for this problem, Thai people can’t rely on the buying product follows the taxation system. And buying the smuggled product also dares the risk of facing with fake product and unguaranteed product. How can we do to take care our health with this period of the healthy life trend that the supplement product becomes more necessary?
If we want to do follow our rights and the national taxation system isn’t still improved and supported this change yet. So we have to take risk due to we can’t purchase for over price to take care our health.
