Thailand's tax system includes a range of taxes applicable to individuals and businesses. The Value-Added Tax (VAT) is set at a standard rate of 10%, though it has been temporarily reduced to 7% until 30 September 2026. VAT is applied to the sale of goods and services, with certain essential sectors like exports, healthcare, and education enjoying exemptions or zero-rated status. Specific Business Tax (SBT) is levied on specific sectors, such as banking and financial services, at varying rates up to 3%. Corporate Income Tax (CIT) has a standard rate of 20%, with businesses required to submit returns and make estimated payments within specified timelines. Personal Income Tax (PIT) operates on a progressive scale with a top rate of 35%, and individuals must file annual returns. Withholding taxes (WHT) apply to dividends, interest, and royalties, with rates differing for residents and non-residents. From 1 January 2025, Thailand has introduced Pillar Two top-up tax (15% minimum) for MNE groups with consolidated revenue exceeding EUR 750 million. Together, these taxes provide a comprehensive framework for generating revenue in Thailand while incentivizing key sectors like exports and digital services.

Value-Added Tax (VAT) in Thailand
In Thailand, the standard Value-Added Tax (VAT) rate is 10%, although it has been temporarily reduced to 7% until 30 September 2026, subject to government extension. VAT is imposed on the sale of goods and services, and certain sectors, such as exports, are zero-rated. Additionally, goods and services such as basic groceries, education, healthcare, and real estate leasing are exempt from VAT. Non-resident electronic service providers and digital platform operators generating income over THB 1.8 million per year from non-VAT-registered customers in Thailand are required to register, file returns, and pay VAT without issuing tax invoices or preparing input tax reports. These transactions are processed electronically through the Revenue Department.
