When VAT registration becomes mandatory
A business with taxable sales or services exceeding THB 1.8 million annually must apply for VAT registration within 30 days of crossing the threshold. Exempt activities and voluntary registration have separate conditions. Confirm the activity with the Revenue Department; input-tax credit or refunds are subject to eligibility and evidence.
Voluntary registration buys credibility with corporate buyers and allows input-tax credits, but it also creates a monthly Por Por 30 filing obligation even for nil months, plus input and output tax reports.
What the Revenue Department inspects on site
- A permanent, externally visible company signboard
- Usable workspace with desk, seating and office equipment
- A responsible person able to explain the business activity
- Occupancy documents matching the filing
- Consistency between the declared activity and the space used
Obligations after the Por Por 20 is issued
| Obligation | Deadline | Consequence of default |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly Por Por 30 filing | By the 15th of the following month | Surcharge and penalty under the Revenue Code |
| Issue compliant tax invoices | On each taxable event | Customers lose their input tax credit |
| Maintain input and output tax reports | Monthly | Assessment risk on audit |
| Display the Por Por 20 at the premises | At all times | Statutory fine |
| File Por Por 09 for changes | Check the notice period for the specific change before acting, especially relocation | Registry mismatch and potential statutory consequences |
Common mistakes and how we avoid them
More questions we are asked
- Can a virtual office pass a Thai VAT inspection?
- It may be considered, but the Revenue Department decides each application. Genuine occupancy rights, truthful photographs and usable space are supporting evidence, not an approval guarantee.
- Should I register voluntarily below the threshold?
- It depends on your buyers and cost base. Corporate customers who need full tax invoices and businesses with heavy input VAT usually benefit; consumer-facing businesses with little input VAT often do not.
