We thank you for your interest on our provided information for closing of company registration – Liquidation of company, Panwa Group of Companies has supported a lot of clients for almost 10 years since the establishment of this kind of services, below is our guidelines in closing a private company in Thailand:
STEP 1. Registration for Closing of Company to the Ministry of Commerce (MOC).
To comply with the policy of Thailand, one must send an Invitation Letter for a Meeting to the Shareholders with the agenda for closing of company. The letter must be sent to the shareholders by local post (with advise of delivery) and advertise in the newspaper. This process will be taken effect within 15 days. Please note that this step is just to comply with the policy for closing of company. Once the process and all the requirements are completed, the MOC will release its confirmation of closing date of the company. The company must prepare its accounting until the confirmed closing date.
Also once the closing date of company is confirmed, the permanent closing of its Social Security Fund in the SSO must be done also (in case that you have staff here in Thailand).
STEP 2. To return the VAT Certificate (P.P.20) to the Revenue Department (RD).
After the confirmation of closing date from MOC is obtained, the company’s VAT PP.20 must be returned to RD. This step must be done within 14 days from the obtained closing date as referred above; the original VAT certificate must be returned. Case of any delay, penalty is Baht 2,000. Please note that the company is still responsible to submit the VAT form every month until the RD released its confirmation letter accepting the cancellation of its VAT.
STEP 3. The company’s Financial Statements (FS) for the closing period (at Liquidation date) must be prepared and will be audited by a Thai auditor.
