What is the corporate tax benefits?
After the company has operated until the end of its accounting period, it must submit financial statements and annual corporate income tax returns to the government. In general, the tax base of a business is calculated based on its taxable net profit. Therefore, tax adjustments and various benefits received from the government are at the heart of helping the company review its tax status to ensure that the information shown in the corporate income tax return is correct and consistent with the tax computation.
The various benefits that the government has given entrepreneurs have arisen for multiple purposes, such as stimulating the economy, helping alleviate the tax burden of entrepreneurs, or supporting the government's intention to collect taxes as fairly as possible. Therefore, the various benefits we would like to mention below are essential in helping you get the most advantage of tax savings.
Why should we recap the benefits in 2023?
For the company that started operating in 2023, if the accounting period is less than 12 months, the company is not required to submit a half-year corporate income tax return. However, the company must submit an annual corporate income tax return within 150 days from the last day of the accounting period, as specified in Section 69 of the Revenue Code of Thailand.
Even though a company that started operating before 2023 is familiar with the various benefits they can use, there are still a lot of benefits launching during the year. The company should also know how to apply them when filing the annual corporate income tax return.
