Frequently Asked Questions

How does Thailand's personal income tax withholding work?

Thai PIT uses progressive rates on annual net income: 0% (up to THB 150,000), 5% (150,001-300,000), 10% (300,001-500,000), 15% (500,001-750,000), 20% (750,001-1,000,000), 25% (1,000,001-2,000,000), 30% (2,000,001-5,000,000), and 35% (above 5,000,000). Employers estimate the annual tax and divide by 12 for monthly withholding, adjusting for personal allowances and declared deductions.

What Social Security contributions appear on a Thai payslip?

The Social Security Fund (SSF) requires contributions of 5% each from employee and employer, calculated on monthly wages between THB 1,650 and THB 15,000 (cap). This means the maximum monthly contribution is THB 750 each. The fund covers sickness, maternity, disability, death, child allowance, old age pension, and unemployment benefits. The government also contributes a smaller percentage.

What is a provident fund in Thailand and is it mandatory?

A provident fund (Klong Tun Samrong Liang Cheep) is a voluntary retirement savings scheme set up by employers. Both employee and employer contribute between 2% and 15% of wages. It is not mandatory, but many medium and large companies offer it as a benefit. Contributions appear on the payslip and are tax-deductible for employees up to THB 10,000 per year (with additional exemptions for amounts between THB 10,000 and THB 490,000).

How do I create payslips for Thailand employees?

Thai employers must provide a pay statement (bai sarup ngoen duen) each pay period showing salary components, Social Security Fund contributions, personal income tax withheld, and net pay. Payslips can be generated using payroll software or HR systems that incorporate the Revenue Department's PIT withholding tables. The payslip must be provided each payday and payroll records should be retained for at least five years.

Are payslips a legal requirement in Thailand?

Yes. The Labour Protection Act B.E. 2541 (1998) requires employers to provide written wage documentation to employees. Employers must also maintain payroll records that can be inspected by the Department of Labour Protection and Welfare. The Revenue Department requires monthly PIT withholding returns (PND 1) and annual reconciliation (PND 1 Kor), for which accurate payroll records are essential.

What deductions must appear on a Thailand payslip?

A Thai payslip must show personal income tax withheld, Social Security Fund (SSF) contributions (5% of wages, capped at THB 750/month), and any provident fund contributions if the employer offers a scheme. Other deductions such as salary advances or agreed loan repayments must also be itemised. Gross salary (ngoen duen), total deductions, and net pay must be clearly shown.

Can I generate payslips for part-time or contract workers in Thailand?

Yes. Part-time employees and fixed-term contract workers are entitled to payslips and Social Security Fund enrollment if they are employed for one or more months. Daily workers and casual employees are also covered if employment lasts at least one month. Independent contractors are not employees and receive payment documentation through invoices rather than employer payslips; they are taxed under Section 40(2) rather than 40(1) of the Revenue Code.

How often should payslips be issued in Thailand?

Thai law requires wages to be paid at least once a month for monthly-paid employees, with payslips issued each pay period. Weekly or fortnightly pay is common in some industries, and a payslip must accompany each payment. Employers must submit the monthly PND 1 withholding tax return and the SSF contribution report by the deadlines set by the Revenue Department and the Social Security Office respectively.
