Thailand: VAT registration for providers of e-services and electronic platform operators
E-services and electronic platform operators are required to register for VAT and file monthly VAT returns with the Thai Revenue Department.
VAT registration for providers of e-services and electronic platform operators
Non-resident providers of electronic services—e-services—and electronic platform operators with revenue exceeding THB 18 million from the provision of e-services to persons not registered for value added tax (VAT) purposes in Thailand are required to register for VAT and file monthly VAT returns with the Thai Revenue Department.
Non-resident service providers and electronic platform operators can now register for VAT through the Revenue Department’s portal (which opened 16 August 2021).
If the registration application is submitted before 1 September 2021, the non-resident e-service provider and electronic platform operator will become VAT registrants as of 1 September 2021 (which is the effective date of the legislative registration rules).
