ayayay Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 My buddy claims his customers abroad also has to pay VAT as the Thai revenue department cut VAT on all invoices, including the ones issued to customers abroad, is this really true?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dork Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 No, it's not true. Export of goods and services are zero rated for VAT. The problem for an exporter is that all local purchases still attract VAT so need to claim refunds from the Revenue Department each month. Getting refunds in full and in a timely manner is a constant battle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glegolo Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 (edited) Are you sure this is not a SCAM as well???? Thai customs clearence agents are all claiming VAT towards foreign customers with a address outside Thailand....I got a strong feeling that this money is quickly down the pockets of these agents...

Glegolo I guess you are referring to imports whereas the op is asking about exports. Foreign customers pay their invoices directly to the exporter. Thai customs and customs agents have nothing to do with the payments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
