YOU 6: I am considering to start business in Thailand, I may not use your address but I am interested for company registration so I have some inquiry for shop house renting what point or matters I should consider before sign the contract.

Panwa: Thank you that you are interested on our company registration service and welcome to answer you for the point that should be considered before sign the rental contract, below are the main points:

1. Supporting documents from the landlord (owner), they must support your document for company registration, VAT registration and other kinds that you are need for future registration. We have long experience in this registration and found that many Thai landlord they will say “Yes, you can use this place for business” but when ask for documents they will say “NO” due to most of Thai landlord they don’t like to pay their personal tax that’s why they don’t like you to use their document for Tax Registration.
2. Withholding Tax, in Thailand the tenant will pay the monthly rental fee to the landlord which must deduct withhold tax for 5% and then your company have to pay to the Revenue Department within 7 days of the following month.
3. Land Tax ( Previously called Property Tax), normally must be long to landlord so in contract must clearly read inside.

YOU 7: We register our entity as “Representative Office”, our project in Thailand is plan for 3 years. Could you please propose the fee and ask for some discount is possible?

Panwa: We are more welcome if you can sign for the period 3 years that we can give discount at rate 10%, and your business is Representative Office there is no VAT registration so our fee is Baht 18,000 per year for this 3 years is Baht 54,000 – 5,400 (discount) =  48,600 for 3 years period.

YOU 8: Our company has registered at other virtual office in Sukhumvit, but they can’t support for landline under our company name and possible transfer to our mobile phone that I alway in Malaysia, may I ask this service and how much for cost.

Panwa: We can serve for landline under your company name and the line can be transfered to your mobile phone. If your mobile phone open for roaming you can bring to use in Malaysia. All telephone expense will follow the bill that you can pay directly to the telephone company (both landline and mobile). At Panwa we will help you to install and transfer to your mobile we charge per year for this kind of service is Baht 6,000. Anyway if you need our support to pay for the bills of both company we also can support you too, in detail we can discuss in details later.

YOU 9: Our office consider to stop business in Thailand and will move from this tower to virtual office and do process of liquidation, we also have document to storage for 5 boxes, do you serve to cover these?
