Thai 3% With Holding Tax?

[buddy]

Dear All,

We are a Thai registered limited Technical Consultancy.

Out of the blue one regular customer has suddenly started paying our invoices with the 3% with holding tax taken out?

Questions?

Is a Technical Consultancy liable for the 3% with holding tax as I was under the impression it was for "Service" companies, e.g the company who maintains and "services" your air conditioning?

What criteria would a customers accounts department refer to when deciding which company,s to apply the 3% with holding tax?

best regards

The service designation applies to any company offering a service that does not have a physical product.

In your case, the 3% withholding tax would be applicable to your consulting company as it is providing a service with no tangible physical product.
