What should we do to start using the e-Tax Invoice & e-Receipt system in Thailand?

As a result of the national electronic payment infrastructure development plan, the Thai government is trying to convince companies to switch from cash payments to electronic payments. This will increase the efficiency of the payment infrastructure in Thailand.

The Revenue Department has issued the regulation to support national e-payment master plan. “e-Tax system” is one of the projects under this plan to develop the preparation and delivery of e-Tax Invoice and e-Receipt.

Objectives of e-tax system are as follows:

1. To promote a policy called “Thailand 4.0” and national e-payment.
2. To support the Revenue Department’s regulation on “The preparation, delivery, and storage of e-Tax invoices and receipts. B.E. 2560”
3. To provide tax benefits of e-tax invoice and e-receipt requests to companies and business owners. (Companies can deduct twice the amount of expenses)
