Vat Question

[mr_lob]

Hi Guys,

I am getting conflicting views from the IRD and my accountant regarding a VAT issue:

Should i need to pay VAT on the following:

A Customer pays my Thai Business for accomodation in a foreign country??

According to the Revenue Department Website http://www.rd.go.th/publish/6043.0.html, Point 4.2 states that ''- services rendered in Thailand and utilized outside Thailand'' are liable to VAT at a rate of 0%

Anyone have any experience of this - or what would be very useful is a link to the section on the RD website that states this in Thai so I can make my accountant swallow her words!

Cheers lads

AFAIK no VAT.

For products, VAT only for sales in Thailand.

For services, as you mentioned.

For rent, no VAT regardless of location.

Cheers G - just spoke to to the RD department in BKK who confirmed that for customer who is not in Thailand and utilizing a service provided by us OUTSIDE of Thailand, no VAT needs to be paid.
