Thailand Value Added Tax (VAT)
Register your business for VAT in Thailand and submit your company’s returns within the designated reporting periods
Understanding Thailand VAT
The Value Added Tax (VAT) applies to selling goods and providing services within the Thai market. The Thailand VAT rate is set at 7%, however, exports or goods consumed entirely in an overseas market are exempt, as are taxpayers with annual sales below THB 1.8 million.
Upon receipt of payment for goods and services, tax invoices are issued by the seller for VAT reporting.
✅ Required details to include on VAT invoices:
- The invoice must clearly state “tax invoice”
- The invoice must clearly state “Head office” or “Branch No.” to identify the seller’s and buyer’s place of business
- Tax Identification Number (TIN), name, and address of invoice issuant
- Name and address, and TIN of buyer
- Tax invoice serial number
- Description of goods/service (value, type, classification)
- Calculated VAT amount (must be separate from value of goods)
- Date of issue
Thailand VAT registration and submission
Companies in Thailand must register with the Revenue Department before starting business activities or within 30 days of corporate income reaching the THB 1.8 million threshold.
Thailand VAT returns must be filed by the 7th of the month following payment for imported services, and by the 15th of the month following payment for local goods and services. If your company is registered for e-filing, then you have an additional 8 days for submitting all tax returns.
