Thailand Company Incorporation Package #1
Business Operation in Thailand
Company Registration
There are certain types of business which are restricted or prohibited for foreigners to carry on in Thailand including service business. Using Thai inactive shareholders to hold majority shares in a company is the alternative mostly used where a foreigner engages in these restricted or prohibited businesses. The Thai shareholders will hold a majority of 51% shares in the company to make the company to be Thai. This company will then be able to engage in businesses as if it was a Thai national.
Government Fees
The government fee is calculated based on the amount of the registered capital at the amount of approximately US$ 300 per Baht 1,000,000 registered capital. The fee is paid only one time.
After the registration is completed, the company status will remain for an unlimited period, until the cancellation of such company is registered. Therefore, there is no renewal fee payable for the company registered in Thailand.
There is no government fee payable for the registration of the tax identification card and VAT registration.
