Tax specialists in Bangkok
Tax specialists in Bangkok who keep a foreign-owned company on the right side of the Revenue Department and stop you overpaying.
Thai tax runs on a monthly rhythm: VAT at 7 percent, withholding tax on many payments, and corporate income tax at 20 percent, with reduced rates for smaller companies. Foreign owners also need to watch personal tax residency, the 180-day rule, and how dividends versus salary are treated, because getting that mix wrong is expensive year after year.
A good tax coordinator in Bangkok plans ahead rather than just filing forms after the fact. Ask about experience with foreign shareholders, the double-tax treaty with your home country, and BOI tax privileges if you are promoted, since that is where real money is saved or lost.
Common questions
- What taxes does a Thai company pay?
- Corporate income tax at 20 percent, with reduced rates for small companies, plus VAT at 7 percent and withholding tax on many payments. Monthly VAT and withholding filings are due even in quiet months.
- When is a foreigner a tax resident in Thailand?
- Spending 180 days or more in Thailand in a calendar year makes you a tax resident, which changes how remitted income is treated. Plan around it with a specialist before it catches you out at year end.
