Help With Vat & Wht Questions

[Bredbury Blue]

We are in the VAT system and have some questions.

1. if we provide a service in thailand, for an overseas company who will be paying from overseas, for our service of recruiting someone in thailand who will work overseas, should 7%VAT be applied ?

2. if I sell advertising on my website. [a] to a thai company, then I would include for 7% VAT but would 3% WHT need to be withheld from our payment, how about with an overseas company?

hope you can offer advice.

thanks

Had something similar a couple of years ago. The question is where the benefit of your service is. If it is inside Thailand, VAT applies. If it is outside Thailand, no VAT. I argued that I am exporting the service (it was market research for a Swiss company) and therefor no VAT.

For 2.a you are right

For 2.b. see above...is the service/product is to be sold in Thailand VAT and WHT, if not...hmm..not so sure....

Ever considered an offshore account?
