Why anantarda
Advantages That Come from Working Carefully
What we offer is not different in category from other tax advisers. It is different in execution — the depth of the review, the clarity of the output, and the honesty of the advice.

Six Reasons Clients Work with Us
Practitioners Who Know Thai Law
Not generalists. Our advisers have direct, current knowledge of the Revenue Code, Revenue Department procedures, and the treaty positions available to foreign-resident individuals.
Everything in Writing
Recommendations and analysis are delivered as written memoranda. You have a record of what was considered, what was concluded, and on what basis.
Document-Led, Not Assumption-Led
We work from your actual documents — payslips, contracts, remittance records — and flag any items that require clarification before the position is finalised.
Available Through the Filing Window
Queries that arise close to a filing deadline are answered promptly. We do not become unavailable at the point when clients most need their adviser.
Client Approval Before Any Filing
Returns and submissions go to you for review before they are lodged. You see the figures, the deductions claimed, and the tax position taken — and can ask questions at that stage.
Fixed, Transparent Fees
Engagements are priced at a fixed amount stated at the outset. There are no surprises on the invoice. If scope changes, we discuss it before proceeding further.
Professional Expertise in Thai Taxation
The Revenue Code has over 250 sections, and the Departmental Instructions that clarify its application run to many more pages again. Our advisers engage with this material continuously — not only at filing time. The 2024 changes to the treatment of remitted foreign income, the current position on digital services VAT, and the arm's-length requirements for related-party transactions are all areas where our team maintains working knowledge.
- Thai Revenue Department registration and authorisation
- Active treaty research across double-taxation agreements applicable to Thailand
- Structured CPD to keep current with regulatory changes
A Clear, Repeatable Process
Each engagement follows a structured sequence: document collection, analysis, a draft for your review, any clarifications, and then filing or delivery of the memorandum. This sequence rarely changes because it produces consistent results. You know where you are in the process at each stage, and we confirm the next step at each transition.
- Engagement letter at the outset confirming scope and fee
- Document checklist so nothing is overlooked at the start
- Draft review stage before any submission is finalised
Service That Treats Your Situation Individually
Foreign residents in Thailand arrive with very different financial backgrounds — some with pensions from multiple countries, some with consultancy income, some with investment portfolios. We do not apply a template and call it done. Each return is assembled from your documents, and items that could benefit from a particular position are discussed with you before the return is finalised.
- Individual document review, not batch processing
- Direct contact with the adviser handling your engagement
- Clear explanation of any item that may benefit from clarification
Fees That Correspond to the Work
Our fees reflect the actual work involved — from ฿4,200 for VAT registration advisory to ฿28,000 for a corporate tax planning review with written memorandum. There is no mark-up for complexity we did not disclose at the outset, and no charge for questions asked during a live engagement. A single clear invoice at completion.
- Fixed fees agreed before work begins
- No billing for routine questions within scope
- Scope changes discussed and agreed before additional charges arise
Outcomes: A Filed Return You Understood
The practical outcome of a personal tax engagement with anantarda is a filed return — with a clear explanation of why each line reads as it does. For corporate clients, a written memorandum that can be shared with a board and used as a reference point when the next set of questions arises. For VAT clients, a registration in place and a bookkeeping structure that will hold up through monthly filings.
- Filed return with explanation of positions taken
- Memoranda that serve as lasting reference documents
- VAT setup designed to support ongoing compliance

What Sets Us Apart
Distinctive Features of Our Practice
Foreign Income Remittance Specialists
The 2024 rule changes catch many foreign residents off-guard. We have mapped the implications across the main income types and can assess your position correctly.
Written Assumption Notes
In uncertain areas — where Revenue Department guidance is unclear — we note the assumption made and the basis for it, so you are not left with an unexplained position.
SME Corporate Focus
Unlike large firms, we are not structured for audit-level corporate engagements. We are structured for the SME and the smaller foreign-owned entity — the clients those firms tend to deprioritise.
Cross-Jurisdiction Awareness
Many of our clients have tax obligations in their home country alongside their Thai position. We do not advise on foreign law, but we work in a way that complements, rather than conflicts with, obligations elsewhere.
