BANGKOK, July 2 Asia Pulse - The Thai cabinet on Tuesday approved a proposal to offer tax breaks to foreign filmmakers who bring their productions to the kingdom.According to Deputy Government Spokesman Wirintira Nathongborjaras, the Cabinet approved in principle to offer tax breaks or tax refunds for foreign film makers bringing their projects to Thailand. These will be coordinated by the Ministry of Tourism and Sports.
