BOI accounting services

Keep BOI project accounts separate

BOI incentives apply to specific projects. If you have several promotion certificates or also earn non-promoted income, your accounts need to show which income and expenses belong to each project.

Our BOI packages include account segregation, cost allocation, material control and BOI progress and annual report support. We can also quote for asset schedules and tax incentive claims.

BOI: corporate income tax incentives guidance ↗

Questions we’ll work through with you

  • Which projects earn the income, and which certificate covers each one?
  • How do you split and record costs shared between projects?
  • What asset, investment or material-control records do you need?
  • Which BOI reports and tax incentive applications need preparing?
  • Who will prepare, check and submit the annual reports?

BOI promotion does not exempt every transaction or tax. Each project has its own conditions and filing deadlines.

Export company accounting

Export VAT: keep the evidence with the accounts

Qualifying exports may attract 0% VAT, which is different from being VAT-exempt. The rules differ for goods and services. Having an overseas customer or invoicing in foreign currency is not enough on its own.

Match sales to supporting documents

We match sales entries with invoices, shipping or customs documents, customer contracts and payment receipts.

Reconcile input VAT

We check tax invoices against your VAT records before filing a return or reviewing a possible refund claim.

Review overseas transactions

We review exchange-rate differences, overseas service payments and transactions with related companies where needed.

Foreign business structures

Keep Thai accounts and head-office records in step

Branch office accounting

We record your branch’s Thai income and expenses and reconcile balances with head office. We also review the tax treatment of inter-office charges and profit remittances.

Representative office accounting

A representative office carries out permitted non-revenue activities. We track funding from head office, local expenses and payroll, with accounting and tax treatment that reflects how the office operates.

We’ll review your activities and registrations before advising on funding, expenses, income or remittances.

Common questions

BOI, export & foreign office accounting FAQs

Does BOI promotion make every transaction tax exempt?

No. Incentives apply to the promoted project and the conditions in its BOI certificate. Your records need to support any exemption you claim. Non-promoted income and other taxes must be reviewed separately.

What accounting records does a BOI company need?

You’ll need records showing income and expenses for each promoted project, separate from non-promoted activities. Shared-cost calculations, asset records and supporting schedules may also be needed. We’ll review your certificates and activities to confirm the requirements.

Are exports automatically VAT exempt?

No. Qualifying exports may attract 0% VAT, rather than being VAT-exempt. Goods and services have different conditions. Keep invoices, contracts, shipping documents where relevant and payment records to support the treatment used.

Are a branch office and a representative office treated the same?

No. A branch can earn revenue from its authorised activities. A representative office is limited to permitted non-revenue activities. We account for head-office funding, local expenses and other transactions according to the office’s activities and tax position.

How much does specialised accounting cost?

BOI accounting packages cost THB 18,500 per month for up to 20 transactions, THB 24,500 for up to 50, THB 35,500 for up to 120, THB 47,500 for up to 200, and THB 66,500 for up to 400. Contact us for more than 400 transactions per month. Exporters, branches and representative offices are quoted according to their needs.

Which tax returns and BOI reports are included?

All five BOI packages include BOI progress reports, BOI annual report support, P.P.30 / P.P.36, P.N.D.1 / 3 / 53 / 54, P.N.D.51, payroll and SSO filings, P.N.D.1 Kor and KT20, alongside bookkeeping and the other services listed in the pricing section. Additional tax incentive claim support and year-end work are confirmed in your quotation.

Is the annual audit included?

We’ll state this in your quotation. The independent audit, financial statements, P.N.D.50, DBD filing and BOI tax exemption claim support are separate tasks. We’ll confirm who handles each one and the fees involved.

What should we share for a quotation?

Start with your business activities, company structure, VAT status, BOI certificates if any, and approximate monthly transactions. Tell us about staff, overseas payments, reporting needs and overdue filings. We can follow up for your trial balance and other records.
