Revenue Department gives e-service providers and marketplaces extra time on monthly filings and liability settlements
Non-resident providers of electronic services have been given a postponement on their first VAT returns and payments. This follows Thailand introducing Value Added Tax on foreign providers in September 2021.
The new deadline for the December 2021 return and payment moves from 23 to 30 December 2021.
Compiling Thai or other VAT is complex, time consuming and fraught with tax liability risks. VAT Calc’s single platform VAT Filer can accurately complete any country filings with verified transactional data from our VAT Calculator or VAT Auditor integrated tools.
