Thailand on Tuesday approved a draft bill requiring foreign digital service providers to pay a value-added tax (VAT), becoming the latest country in Southeast Asia to seek to boost tax revenues from international tech companies.
Foreign e-business operators that provide electronic services to non-VAT registrants in Thailand will be required to register for and pay Thai VAT and file VAT returns with the Revenue Department if they exceed a threshold of THB1.8 million per year.
