- New Thai Revenue Department guidance (DI No. Paw 164/2568) changes input VAT treatment for VAT-registered taxpayers selling goods outside Thailand, effective 5 February 2025.
- Taxpayers must now allocate input VAT using a two-step process: exclude input tax proportionate to out-of-scope revenue, then allocate remaining input tax between VATable and non-VAT businesses.
- Input tax allocation must be done monthly (not annually) for mixed business activities.
- For businesses with VATable, non-VAT, and out-of-scope activities, input tax is first allocated to out-of-scope activities, then the remainder is apportioned between VAT and non-VAT businesses as per the Revenue Code.
- The new rules supersede previous guidance and provide updated procedures and examples for compliance.
