16 Accounting & Tax Advisory in Thailand for Global Businesses

Running a business in Thailand involves strict statutory deadlines and ongoing filings with the Department of Business Development (DBD) and the Revenue Department. While Thai law does not require private limited companies to appoint a formal internal company secretary, company directors remain personally liable for missed filings, outdated corporate records, and late Annual General Meetings (AGMs).

Our Corporate Secretary & Compliance Services

We provide end-to-end support for corporate changes, shareholding updates, tax registrations, and company closures:

1. Change Company Objectives or Business Activities

Expanding into new industries or adjusting your business model? We draft the required shareholder resolutions, amend your Memorandum of Association (MOA), and register updated business objectives with the DBD.

2. Revise or Change Registered Company Address

Moving offices or relocating to a new province requires formal notification to both the DBD and the Revenue Department (VAT/PP.09) within strict statutory windows. We prepare landlord consent documents, maps, and official registration forms for a smooth transition.

3. Change or Revise Company Name

Rebranding your business in Thailand involves reserving your new company name with the DBD, passing a special shareholder resolution, updating your company seal, and amending your corporate affidavit and tax registrations.

4. Share Transfers & Shareholder Restructuring (Buy/Sell Shares)

Whether bringing on new investors or transferring shares between existing partners, we prepare bilingual share transfer instruments, update your statutory Share Register Book, issue new share certificates, and file an updated List of Shareholders (BOJ.5) with the DBD.

5. Increase Registered Share Capital

Need to raise capital to support work permit quotas, meet Foreign Business License requirements, or fund expansion? We manage the special resolution process, newspaper publication notices, and capital increase registration with the DBD.

6. 13-Digit Tax ID Registration for Foreigners

Foreign directors, shareholders, and expatriates earning income or conducting official transactions in Thailand often require a personal 13-digit Tax Identification Number from the Revenue Department. We handle the application and documentation on your behalf.

7. Closing / Dissolving a Company in Thailand

Winding down a Thai company properly requires more than simply stopping operations. We guide you through the full legal liquidation process—including special resolutions, newspaper announcements, creditor notices, final liquidation audits, tax/VAT deregistration, and final DBD dissolution.

Why Outsource Your Corporate Secretary Function to Us?

  • Never Miss a Statutory Deadline: Most corporate changes in Thailand must be registered with the DBD within 14 days of the resolution or change. We track your compliance calendar and submit filings on time.

  • Protect Directors from Personal Liability: Under the Thai Civil and Commercial Code, directors face individual fines for late AGM filings or inaccurate shareholder records. Our team ensures your statutory books and DBD records are always accurate.

  • Seamless Bilingual Documentation: All notices, minutes, proxies, and resolutions are prepared in clear Thai and English, ensuring international directors and shareholders fully understand every document they sign.

  • Direct Liaison with Thai Authorities: From the DBD and Revenue Department to local district offices, our local specialists handle submissions, translations, and follow-ups directly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a Corporate Secretary mandatory for a Thai Limited Company? No. Under Thai law, appointing a formal Company Secretary is only mandatory for Public Limited Companies (PCL). However, private limited companies must still fulfill all statutory duties—such as holding an AGM within 4 months of the fiscal year-end and filing updated shareholder lists (BOJ.5). Outsourcing these tasks ensures full compliance without hiring full-time internal legal staff.

How quickly must corporate changes be reported to the DBD? Changes to company directors, registered address, business objectives, or capital structure must generally be registered with the DBD within 14 days from the date of the resolution or change.

Can you assist if our company records are already outdated or overdue? Yes. We conduct a complete review of your current DBD Company Affidavit, Share Register Book, and past filings, then prepare and submit any overdue updates to bring your company back into good standing.
