Value Added Tax (VAT) is a tax that is levied on consumer goods and services in almost every country in the world and, similar to the US sales tax, increases the final price for consumers accordingly.
The current VAT rate in Thailand is 7%.
This tax revenue is used to finance public facilities such as piers and jetties, staff and Marine rescue services. Hopefully.
- To ensure the greatest possible cost transparency, all our displayed prices include VAT. This can be a disadvantage when comparing prices with other providers, who display net prices and then add the tax as a nice surprise. It is therefore best to ask for final prices right from the start.
- Of course, you will also find suppliers who offer their products at a lower price without VAT. We recommend that you carefully weigh up the risks of such transactions, which are of course always based on private payment methods and, in the event of damage, possibly without any insurance cover at all.
