Over a number of years, PwC has given a large body of advice and implementation to our clients in many areas, but two typical questions that always come up are: ‘Do you fully comply with laws and regulations?’ and “Have you set up a protection methodology to prevent non-compliance issues before they happen?”
With dynamic changes to laws and regulations regarding the BOI, Customs, Labour, and taxes, there’s a continuing challenge for all businesses in Thailand to plan and be ready!
PwC has therefore selected the Ayutthaya province as a hub of investment in Thailand for arranging this seminar in four sessions for Thai, Japanese and Chinese representatives with the following details.

Key concerns |
Over the past few years, the government has been tightening up its policies including those of the BOI and Thai Customs, cleaning up non-compliant issues frequently found within BOI companies, for example:
Detecting and cleaning up your BOI and customs non-compliance issues at an early stage is the most effective way to reduce future corporate and import taxes risks. We’ll provide guidelines on how to manage BOI and customs compliance requirements and initially identify BOI and customs non-compliance before you encounter adverse consequences. |
Human resources has to deal with many issues, and those issues can turn out to be more complex when they go beyond daily operations such as legal non-compliance, misconduct, malpractice, fraud, or damage to a company’s property and reputation. Dealing with a problem may require comprehensive yet cautious measures, as there may be consequences and subsequent liability. Also employment issues aren’t only caused by employees, but also by employers when they don’t comply with the law, possibly due to a lack of awareness of the legal implications. |
Seminar objectives
|
Currently, there are many investment promotion laws and policies giving special investment incentives to investors and from talking to clients, we found that some investors aren’t aware that the BOI offers extra incentives. So they’re missing opportunities to exploit these BOI incentives. Are you missing out? Another side of the amendments for more packages for utilising special incentives, the related authorities have also enforced all regulations and conditions for controlling all promoted companies to eliminate the non-compliance tasks from promoted companies. Therefore, maximising your BOI privileges for current and future projects and reducing the risks of potential non-compliance will save you time, hassle, and money. |
Labour issues are common but can be difficult to handle, and can be triggered by many factors. For example, the introduction of artificial intelligence (AI) posing a threat to jobs. Or, unforeseeable circumstances like changes in the law, and incorrect practices, not to mention cheating, fraud and white collar crimes that are difficult to investigate, especially if linked to related tax issues. Also, as international mobility is important as part of your organisation’s business strategy, we would like to share with you the four biggest myths of hiring expatriate employees and how to avoid these myths and update the audience on Thai personal income tax changes. While labour and tax issues can be complex, we believe they’re manageable. During the seminar we’ll share our experience and guidelines in handling those common issues for maintaining harmony in the workplace. |

Remarks: |
Don’t miss out! Our seminar specifically focuses on these extra incentives. We’ll explain how you can qualify for the incentives, and the current BOI policy. We’ll also explore possible changes in the Customs Act to help you manage your customs process with greater efficiency. |
What services do we offer? There are legal mechanisms available to help you. They are defensive, preventive and offensive, and these (together with crisis management) can help prevent unexpected scenarios and minimise exposure. You should always bear in mind that prevention is better than cure. |
