- VAT-registered businesses in Thailand must submit accurate VAT reports, including inventory reports, within three business days.
- Inventory discrepancies, such as shortages or surpluses, have accounting and tax implications and must be adjusted.
- An inventory surplus generally does not result in immediate VAT liability, but fines may apply if discovered during inspections.
- Inventory shortages are treated as sales for VAT purposes, with penalties based on the unreported taxable base.
- Penalties for inventory shortages vary depending on whether VAT was reported and the time since registration.
