Taxes play a vital role in any business undertaking. Practically all commercial and financial transactions will have tax implications, thereby making tax considerations essential when doing business. Our expert team of specialist taxation practitioners is receptive to the practical tax issues of doing business in Thailand. Together with our diverse experience and international dimension and networks, we are also in the best position to assist both listed and non-listed local and multinational corporations and high net-worth individuals plan tax structures across various tax jurisdictions.

Our taxation practice advises and represents a broad spectrum of clients on cross-border and domestic corporate and general transactions. Our team regularly counsels clients on both general and stand-alone taxation matters with respect to business transactions, such as takeovers, complex corporate acquisitions and dispositions, financing techniques, partnerships and other joint ventures, real estate and bankruptcy reorganisation plans; as well as tax planning for clients from a myriad of industries. In the case of tax assessment by customs or revenue officers, our long association with the public sector and the working relationships we have built up over the years gives us a professional advantage in terms of liaising with relevant officers and settling cases, in addition to defending client’s interests before tax authorities in appeals and, where applicable, litigations in the Central Tax Court.

We strive to understand our client's needs, backgrounds and objectives to the utmost, and in meeting those goals by applying our collective expertise, knowledge, creativity and positive working relationships with tax authorities to the task.

We relentlessly aim to provide our clients with solutions which are not only optimal from a tax-efficient perspective, but also realistic and most importantly, enforceable.
