VAT registration certificate (Por Por 20) ภ.พ.20 / PP20

The certificate the Revenue Department issues on entering a business in the value added tax register, recording the taxpayer identification number and the date the registration takes effect, and the document counterparties, landlords and government offices routinely ask to see.

IN PRACTICE

What it means in practice

Registration is not automatic. A business becomes liable to register once its turnover passes the threshold set by the Revenue Code, and it may register voluntarily before that, which is often what a new company buying from foreign suppliers wants. The certificate is issued for the place of business shown on it, so a branch or a change of premises is a filing of its own. The certificate shows the date the registration takes effect, which is not the date of the application; the separate duty to register arises earlier, when the threshold is passed.
