Forvis Mazars Thailand, a leading international audit, tax, and advisory firm, offers services to support businesses undergoing audits by the Thai Revenue Department, providing guidance and effective assistance throughout the audit process. Aware that tax refund claims often trigger thorough inspections by the Thai Revenue Department, the firm works closely with clients to ensure audit readiness through clear documentation, professional communication, and strategic coordination.

Tax audits, especially those linked to Corporate Income Tax (CIT), Withholding Tax (WHT), Value-Added Tax (VAT), or Stamp Duty (SD) can be time-consuming and complex. Even companies that don’t request refunds may be selected for review due to irregularities such as inconsistent tax reporting, volatile income and expenses, or high retained earnings. Forvis Mazars Thailand’s latest advisory outlines key strategies to help businesses speed up tax refund audits more efficiently.

“Tax refund audits don’t have to be a painful process,” said Vachirawit Kaew-udom, Director, Tax Controversy and Dispute Resolution Services, Forvis Mazars Thailand. “When businesses understand their tax positions, prepare documents thoroughly, and maintain a cooperative attitude, they can significantly reduce audit timelines and improve outcomes.”

The firm advises businesses to take a proactive and strategic approach when applying for tax refunds. This begins with a deep understanding of their own operations and tax and accounting treatments, enabling clear and confident communication with tax officers. Equally important is having all relevant documents well-organized and ready for submission, which helps avoid delays and unnecessary back-and-forth.

Maintaining a respectful and professional relationship with tax authorities, following up regularly, and responding promptly to requests can significantly improve the audit experience. Forvis Mazars also encourages businesses to be realistic about potential audit outcomes and avoid disputing every issue, especially when errors are evident. Engaging a qualified tax advisor is strongly recommended, as expert guidance can help navigate complex regulations, identify risks early, and ensure a smoother, faster refund process.

Forvis Mazars Thailand offers tailored tax advisory services to support businesses throughout the refund process—from risk assessment and documentation to negotiation and resolution. Our team is here to help businesses navigate these challenges. The firm’s deep expertise in Thai tax regulations and audit procedures positions it as a trusted partner for companies seeking efficient and compliant outcomes.

“Our goal is to help businesses move through the refund process with confidence and clarity,” Vachirawit added. “With the right strategy and support, companies can avoid delays and focus on growth.”

This initiative reflects Forvis Mazars Thailand’s broader commitment to delivering client-centric solutions and strengthening its position in the Thai market. As part of its growth strategy, the firm continues to invest in tax advisory, financial consulting, and audit services to meet the evolving needs of Thai businesses.
