VAT Implication for Thailand properties

The Act Amending the Revenue Code No. 53 B.E. 2564 (2021) (“e-Service Tax Law”) regarding value added tax (“VAT”) collection by foreign electronic service providers who provide services to non-VAT registrants in Thailand was published in the Royal Gazette on the 10th February 2021, to take effect starting 1st September 2021.

As a company registered in Singapore providing electronic service to Thai consumers, Agoda is required to register under the e-Service Tax Law. Under the Act, Agoda is required to remit 7% VAT on amounts earned from Thai consumers to the Thai Revenue Department.

“Thai consumer” refers to a “service recipient who is non-VAT registered in Thailand”.

Under the VAT Act:

• If you are VAT registered, there should be no impact on you. The e-Service Tax Law confirms that you continue to have an obligation to self-assess 7% VAT on commission earned by Agoda.
• If you are not VAT registered, i.e. you will be considered a “Thai consumer” and Agoda would apply 7% VAT on commissions earned from you and remit such amounts to the Thai Revenue Department.
