Q75184.At which point in corporate income tax (PND.50 / PND.51) is a power of attorney for tax filings needed, and who issues it?
A juristic person files the half-year corporate income tax return (PND.51) within two months of the end of the first six months, and the annual return (PND.50) with audited financial statements within 150 days of the accounting-period end, under the Revenue Code. A practical order is: confirm the accounting period and which taxes apply, collect source documents (tax invoices, receipts, payslips), reconcile against bank records, then file and keep the filing evidence. Watch out: a tax invoice missing any particular required by the Revenue Code can cost you the input VAT credit. Verify current rules and forms with the Revenue Department (rd.go.th), the DBD (dbd.go.th), the Social Security Office (sso.go.th), the Federation of Accounting Professions (tfac.or.th) and the Department of Consular Affairs (consular.mfa.go.th). Professional fees are quoted per case based on document volume and scope — ask our team by phone, LINE or email. VAT-registered operators file form P.P.30 monthly and maintain input/output tax reports that agree with the tax invoices issued and received in that month.

Q75532.How does the CPA audit and filing of financial statements differ between a newly trading business and an established one?
A limited company's financial statements must be audited and opined on by a CPA registered with the Federation of Accounting Professions, approved at an annual general meeting held within four months of the year end, and submitted to the DBD via DBD e-Filing within one month of that approval. A practical order is: confirm the accounting period and which taxes apply, collect source documents (tax invoices, receipts, payslips), reconcile against bank records, then file and keep the filing evidence. Watch out: expenses without documentation identifying the recipient are commonly added back as non-deductible for corporate income tax. Verify current rules and forms with the Revenue Department (rd.go.th), the DBD (dbd.go.th), the Social Security Office (sso.go.th), the Federation of Accounting Professions (tfac.or.th) and the Department of Consular Affairs (consular.mfa.go.th).

Q75658.How should a member of a multinational group set up its process for Revenue Department e-Filing, e-Tax Invoice and e-Receipt so nothing has to be redone later?
The Revenue Department accepts returns and payments through e-Filing and supports e-Tax Invoice and e-Receipt for approved operators, which requires a digital certificate and data retention under the criteria the department publishes.
