Brand Protection and Customer Engagement solutions company YPB Group Limited (ASX:YPB) has received “Board of Investment (BOI) promotion certification” under the Government of Thailand’s BOI Investment Promotion Scheme.
KEY TAKEAWAYS:
- The Government of Thailand issues YPB “International Headquarters” BOI status.
- BOI status offers eight-year exemption from corporate tax, among other benefits.
- Significant boost to YPB’s ability to do business in Thailand and Pan-Asia.
“Receipt of the certification allows YPB to access all the benefits of the BOI Investment Promotion Scheme, including an eight-year exemption from corporate income tax and work and residency benefits for expatriate staff. A key goal of the BOI is to promote Thailand as a lower cost business rival to Hong Kong and Singapore.”

“Thailand is an ideal site for YPB’s international headquarters, providing a low-cost economy in the geographic heart of the enormous and burgeoning Pan-Asian middle class. Costs and travel times from Bangkok are far lower than from an Australian base and the accumulation of valuable local expertise relevant to western exporters far more likely.”
“YPB Executive Chairman Mr John Houston said: “While YPB has been headquartered in Thailand for nearly two years, the granting of BOI certification by the Government of Thailand is an important and value-enhancing development. We are proud to have established YPB’s operational headquarters in Bangkok and expect it to foster the development of our business in Thailand and Pan-Asia.”

The listing fee vendors pay whether the house sells or not
Australia’s property portals collect more than $2 billion a year while national listings sit flat. An Australian-built AI platform is targeting the economics, not just the interface.

Reinventing the Condom: How an Australian Deep-Tech Startup Plans to Disrupt a $12 Billion Market
For more than half a century, the global condom industry has remained fundamentally unchanged, constrained by standard materials like latex and solid synthetic polymers. Despite widespread consumer demand for better alternatives, product design has treated the device strictly as a mechanical barrier, sacrificing feel for function. Sydney-based Eudaemon Technologies is setting out to upend that […]
