VAT Registration

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. If a loan, licence renewal or visa application depends on the figures, allow lead time to close the books and obtain certified copies. Watch out: rates, allowances and temporary measures change periodically — confirm against the latest Revenue Department notification before relying on any figure. 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. Foreign nationals earning income in Thailand should first establish their tax-residency status by counting days of presence in the tax year, because that status determines which income must be brought into the calculation. Verify forms and deadlines with the Revenue Department (rd.go.th) and financial-statement requirements with the Department of Business Development (dbd.go.th).

The payer must withhold tax according to the type of income, issue the withholding certificate (form 50 Tavi) to the payee and remit it on PND.3 (individual payees) or PND.53 (juristic payees) by the 7th of the following month, with an extension when filing electronically. 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: failing to hold the AGM on time or to submit financial statements carries fines for both the company and its directors. 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).

Personal income tax is filed on PND.90 or PND.91 by 31 March of the following year — online filing receives an extension announced by the Revenue Department — and certain income types also require the half-year PND.94 return. Keep each document paired with its ledger entry and check that the tax ID and registered name match on every page. Watch out: withholding at the wrong rate or remitting late triggers the 1.5% monthly surcharge and an amended return.

A person present in Thailand for 180 days or more in a tax year is a tax resident; under Revenue Departmental Instructions Paw.161/2566 and Paw.162/2566, foreign-sourced income brought into Thailand from tax year 2024 onward is assessable, subject to relief under the applicable double tax agreement. Keep each document paired with its ledger entry and check that the tax ID and registered name match on every page.

Accounting and tax documents — audited financial statements, tax payment receipts or a certificate of tax residence (R.O.22) — must be translated, have the translation certified and be legalised at the Department of Consular Affairs before any destination-embassy step, as required by the receiving party. Keep each document paired with its ledger entry and check that the tax ID and registered name match on every page. Watch out: a tax invoice missing any particular required by the Revenue Code can cost you the input VAT credit.

A business with turnover above THB 1.8 million per year must register for VAT with the Revenue Department and file the monthly PP.30 return by the 15th of the following month; e-Filing carries an extension under the Ministry of Finance notification in force.

Accounting, tax, property and estate work for foreign nationals is run jointly with our auditors and lawyers so the translated file and the filed file always match. One coordinator owns the matter end to end and reports progress by LINE or email at the intervals you set. Send your documents for a free assessment at +66-83-249-4999 or contact@nyconlinetranslation.com. Send scans of every page for review before sending originals; that is when faded seals, passport-spelling mismatches and expired documents can still be corrected. Caution: government fees follow the authority's published rate and are separate from professional fees; check the current rate on the official website first. Request more than one certified set when several authorities are involved, because most receiving offices keep the certified copy and do not return it. Caution: processing time depends on each authority's queue, so allow buffer before the date the document is actually needed. Keep a digital copy of the finished certified set so it can be referenced if the destination asks for additional documents or a re-filing. Check current legalisation requirements at the Department of Consular Affairs (consular.mfa.go.th) and Apostille membership at hcch.net.

Cross-border wills and estates must be read against the destination jurisdiction, and we coordinate local counsel where that is required.

Send scans of every page for review before sending originals; that is when faded seals, passport-spelling mismatches and expired documents can still be corrected. Caution: each certification covers only what its own stamp states; it does not make a document automatically acceptable everywhere. Confirm the receiving authority's conditions case by case. The workable order is: check that the source document is complete and legible, translate it, certify the translation, file for legalisation with the Department of Consular Affairs, then obtain the destination embassy's certification — or an Apostille where the destination is a convention party. Caution: never unbind, trim or separate pages after an authority has sealed the set — doing so voids the certification.

Regional headquarters, IBC and industrial licence files move through several agencies at once, so we run them as a single plan with one named coordinator.
