Cross-Border Merger & Corporate Restructuring
ควบรวมกิจการข้ามชาติและปรับโครงสร้างองค์กร · § CrossBorder
Quick Answer
Restructuring engagements from THB 250,000 — designing merger vs. amalgamation vs. entire-business transfer, tax impact (VAT/SBT/stamp/CGT), TCC filing, and coordinating overseas counsel for parallel closings.
Timeline: Structure paper 2 wk · Regulatory pre-clearance 4–8 wk · Implementation 3–6 months
Official fee: Royal Gazette publication + 60-day creditor objection window · TCC filing THB 25,000 (if threshold)
Legal Basis
CCC §§1238–1243 (amalgamation), Public Limited Companies Act, SEC Notification TorJor.12/2554 (acquisition/disposal), Trade Competition Act, and Revenue Code §74(1) tax-neutral rollover.
Who Needs This
Groups simplifying holding structures, PLCs running scheme-of-arrangement transactions, and MNCs realigning Asia-Pac footprints.
Required Documents
- Pre/post group organogram
- 3/4 special resolutions of shareholders
- Pro-forma consolidated financials
- Creditor notices and Royal Gazette proofs
- BOI/FBL papers if shareholder mix changes
Common Pitfalls
- CCC §1238 amalgamation extinguishes both entities and issues a new juristic-person number — contracts and licences need re-papering
- Missing TCC pre-notification triggers a 0.5% of combined turnover fine (Trade Competition Act §65)
- Revenue Code §74 tax-neutral rollover requires 100% ownership; otherwise deemed sale is triggered
Typical Use-cases
- Amalgamating 4 group companies into one for a SET IPO
- Migrating IP holding from Thailand to Singapore via entire-business transfer + Singapore inbound
- Germany-Thailand cross-border merger via parallel schemes of arrangement
FAQ
- How long is a statutory amalgamation?
- 3–6 months including the 60-day creditor notice and registration of the amalgamated entity.
- Does BOI promotion transfer automatically?
- No — a transfer of promotion certificate is required; BOI takes 30–60 days.
- When does tax crystallise?
- Entire-business transfer is VAT-free if conditions met; CGT arises at shareholder level on fair-value exchange of shares.
