JohnnyBKK Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Hello, 1. Can I buy second hand stuff or services from individuals in Thailand as a thai company ? My accountant said I need invoices for every expense, let's say I want to buy a second hand computer from an individual in Thailand, he is not going to make an invoice for us. Also, let's say I want to rent some space inside the house of an individual in Thailand to store some of the company stock. Best regards, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackdd Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Probably it's possible to write a receipt for this by your self, same as in western countries. To make sure you are doing it right it's probably best to ask a tax lawyer about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TravelerEastWest Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 You can certainly buy from individuals - why not? Maybe he is not being clear and is telling you that upon audit the expense may be disallowed? But if you really wnated to buy something - a painting for your office wall as an example - you certainly can receipt or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EcigAmateur Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Yes, receipts and being legal is very important in Thailand :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackcab Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Any purchase from an individual over 1,000 baht and you need a signed copy of their ID card and you have to withhold tax from them. You give your accountant the ID card copy, the WHT form and the withheld tax. Your accountant pays the tax for you and keeps your books in order. Under 1,000 baht and you need a signed ID card copy but you can use a petty cash voucher. The company I work for does this every month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you saying this is a revenue department rule or your company rule? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The retention of withholding tax is a revenue department rule. If you do not do it then your company is liable for the WHT, penalties and interest. The 1,000 baht cutoff is what our accountants and auditors are happy with and is a company rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
