The first duty of the accountant is to prepare the monthly financial statement and ensure reconciliation between the bookkeeping and the bank statements. Our accountant uses the software Xero allowing you to keep track of the bookkeeping at any time and easily obtain monthly financial statements, profit and loss Statement as well as balance sheet.
When: Monthly Basis - VAT filing (form PP30 and PP36)
The second duty of the accountant is to proceed to the tax filings for the VAT.
When: Before the 7th of each month and 15th day of the following month (7th for PP36 and 15th for PP30). - Withholding taxes on services and rent (Form PND 3/53/54)
The payment of services and rent is subject to a withholding tax (3% on domestic payment and up to 15% on payment of services out of Thailand). The withholding tax is withheld from the total amount of the invoice (before VAT) by the payer. The accountant prepares and sends a withholding tax certificate to the payee for each transaction subject to the withholding tax. On the payee side, the withholding tax is considered as a tax advance on the yearly corporate income tax.
When: Before the 7th of each month. - Social Security Fund registration and filing
Registration with the Social Security Fund (SSF) and monthly contribution are mandatory for employees aged from 15 to 60 years old. A new employee must be registered with the SSF within 30 days. The contribution rate is 5% of the gross salary with a cap at 750 THB. The contribution is paid by both the employee (withheld by the employer) and the employer with a maximum of 1,500 THB per month. This is part of our payroll service.
When: For each new hire or termination and on the 15th of each month. - Personal income tax
The personal income tax is withheld from the employee’s salary and paid by the employer on his behalf on a monthly basis (PND 1). At the end of the year, the employee must file his annual personal income tax (PND 90 or 91). Our accountant can also take care of the annual personal income tax filing of employees when he is in charge of the payroll.
When: Before the 7th of each month and last day of March. - Corporate income tax
The Corporate Income Tax rate in Thailand is 20% on net profits ( a progressive rate applies up to a certain amount of income ). A prepayment of half of the corporate income tax based on the estimated annual net profit must be done within 2 months of the first 6 months accounting period (Form CIT 51). The prepaid tax is creditable against the annual tax filing must be done within 150 days from the closing date of its accounting period (Form CIT 50).
