In the event that we want to repatriate the capital back to Singapore, would there be any tax to be incurred? This is in the form of a) loan to a related party b) we close the legal entity in Thailand
Panwa: Actually we will recommend client to pay as dividend or for other option, if you are not interested to pay as dividend you may choose to transfer the funds out as some kind of expense such as Royalty fee, consulting fee or management fee to your company in overseas but by this way they have withholding tax rate at 15% (and may add VAT at 7% – have to check in detail depend on kind of expense).
For more information, please feel free to contact us:

Can a Foreign debt be converted to Share capital in a private Limited company in Thailand ?
To pay back the loan there is no tax for this kind of transferring but for its interest you must deduct withholding tax at rate of 15%, anyway we are not your auditor and don’t know much in detail so I recommend you to discuss with your auditor due to some case you may have DTA agreement with your country.
