Documentation and Compliance

In Thailand, intentionally avoiding tax payments or falsely claiming refunds is considered a significant violation. Those found guilty of tax evasion can face criminal penalties, including a jail term of three months to seven years and fines from 2,000 to 200,000 Baht. Financial penalties can be 200% of the tax evaded and interest of 1.5% a month. Our advice is to stay fully compliant and within the rules.

If you don’t pay taxes owed in Thailand, you may face serious consequences, including fines, penalties, and interest on unpaid taxes. The Thai Revenue Department has the authority to conduct audits and investigations into tax evasion. Failure to comply with tax obligations can lead to legal action, including criminal charges, which might result in imprisonment. Additionally, non-payment can damage your credit rating and hinder your ability to conduct business in Thailand, as it reflects negatively on your financial responsibility and legal compliance.
