On 9 September 2025, Deputy Finance Minister Julapun Amornvivat announced that the Thai Cabinet has confirmed the 7% VAT rate is to be extended until 30 September 2026. Royal decree will be issued for it because the 7% VAT rate is set to expire on 30 September 2025. The 7% rate applies to the sale of goods, the provision of services and imports.

財政部副部長 Julapun Amornvivat 於2025 年 9 月 9 日宣布，泰國內閣已確認將 7% 的增值稅稅率延長至 2026 年 9 月 30 日。將為此頒布皇家法令，因為 7% 的增值稅稅率將於 2025 年 9 月 30 日到期。 7% 的稅率適用於商品銷售、服務提供和進口。

The decision to continue with the 7% VAT rate was due to the limitations and risk factors facing the country’s economy from increased household, business debt, coupled with low unemployment, inflation rates, declining interest rates, the impact of US import tariffs, and the volatility of the global economic and trade system.

決定繼續維持7%的增值稅稅率，是因為泰國經濟面臨許多限制和風險因素，包括家庭和企業債務增加、低失業率和低通膨率、利率下降、美國進口關稅的影響以及全球經濟和貿易體系的波動。

VAT in Thailand has started in 1992 at 10% and was reduced to 7% in 1997 during financial crisis. So far, the rate has been remained at 7% for 27 years. Even though the law is being reviewed every year, the government has no intention to raise the VAT rate yet.

泰國增值稅於1992年開始徵收，稅率為10%，並於1997年金融危機期間降至7%。迄今為止，該稅率已維持27年。儘管此法律每年都會進行審閱，但政府無意提高增值稅稅率。

Royal Decree No. 799 was issued under the Thai Revenue Code on 13 September 2025, followed by the Cabinet’s approval to extend the VAT rate at 7% for another year. However, the postponement of the VAT increase is temporary and may subject to change in future years.

經內閣批准，第799號皇家法令於2025年9月13日根據泰國稅法頒布，將7%的增值稅稅率再延長一年。然而增值稅上調的延遲只是暫時的，未來政策可能會更改。
