What is the VAT rate in Thailand?

Thailand's standard VAT rate is 7%. This rate has been in effect since 1999 and applies to most goods and services sold in Thailand. Certain items such as basic agricultural products, books, and some healthcare services are VAT-exempt.

What is the difference between VAT-exclusive and VAT-inclusive pricing?

A VAT-exclusive (net) price does not include tax — VAT is added on top when calculating the final amount. A VAT-inclusive (gross) price already contains the tax, and the net price can be recovered by dividing by 1.07.

How do I extract VAT from a VAT-inclusive total?

Divide the gross total by 1.07 to get the net price. The VAT amount is the difference between the gross and the net. This calculator does that automatically when you select "Remove VAT" mode.

Is this calculator accurate for all Thai VAT scenarios?

This tool applies the standard 7% rate. Businesses registered under the reduced-rate or zero-rate schemes (e.g., exports, certain services provided to overseas clients) may use different rates. Always verify with a Thai tax professional for complex cases.

Does Thailand have a VAT refund scheme for tourists?

Yes. Tourists can claim a refund on VAT paid at participating stores if the purchase amount meets the minimum threshold and the goods are exported within 60 days. The VAT refund is based on the VAT portion of the inclusive price, which this calculator helps you determine.
