Accounting and Taxation in Thailand
  Firms must keep books and follow accounting procedures specified in the Civil and Commercial Code, the Revenue Code and the Accounts Act. Documents may be prepared in any language, provided that a Thai translation is attached. All accounting entries should be written in ink, typewritten, or printed.
  A. Imposition of Taxes
    1. Firms are required to withhold income tax from the salary of all regular employees.
    2. A value-added tax of seven percent is levied on the value added at each stage of the
      production process, and is applicable to most firms. The VAT must be paid on
a monthly basis.
    3. A specific business tax is levied on firms engaged in several categories of businesses
      not subject to VAT, based on gross receipts, at a variable rate ranging from 0.1-3.0
percent.
    4.Corporate income tax is 20-30 percent of net profits and is due twice each fiscal year.
      A mid-year profit forecast entails advance payment of corporate taxes.
  B. Annual Accounts
          A newly-established company or partnership should close accounts within 12 months from
the date of its registration. Thereafter, the accounts should be closed every 12 months.
The performance record is to be certified by the company auditor, approved by shareholders,
and filed with the Business Development Office, Ministry of Commerce, within five months of
the end of the fiscal year, and with the Revenue Department, Ministry of Finance, within 150
days of the end of the fiscal year.

If a company wishes to change its accounting period, it must obtain written approval from
the Director General of the Revenue Department
   C.  Accounting Principles
         In general, the basic accounting principles practiced in the United States are accepted in
Thailand, as are accounting methods and conventions as sanctioned by law. The Institute
of Certified Accountants and Auditors of Thailand is the authoritative group promoting the
application of generally accepted accounting principles.

Any accounting method adopted by a company must be used consistently and may be
changed only with approval of the Revenue Department.

partnership, a branch, or representative office, or a regional office of a foreign corporation,

Department and (except for joint ventures) to the Commercial Registrar for each accounting year.

Auditing standards conforming to international auditing standards are, to the greater extent,
recognized and practiced by authorized auditors in Thailand
