Accounting Hat Yai

Accounting for businesses selling across borders and receiving multiple currencies.

Hat Yai is a trading city where many businesses earn income from abroad — exports of rubber, processed seafood, and consumer goods to Malaysia, and revenue from Malaysian and Singaporean tourists entering via Sadao and Padang Besar checkpoints. Accounting for such businesses is more complex than for purely domestic sales. You must clearly distinguish exports zero-rated for VAT and backed by customs documents from ordinary domestic sales, and record foreign-currency income at the correct exchange rate. We handle accounting for Hat Yai businesses by matching sales documents to customs clearance documents each month, not waiting until year-end closing.

What we handle

Monthly bookkeeping, transaction recording, and trial balance preparation

File withholding tax (ภ.ง.ด.1/3/53) and value-added tax (ภ.พ.30)

Prepare payroll, payslips, and remit social security contributions

Take over from previous accountant, and perform a retroactive account review before accepting the engagement

Incomplete Export Documents Hamper Tax Refunds

What hurts exporters most is not calculation errors but incomplete document sets. The invoice, export customs declaration, and evidence of foreign payment must tell the same story and cross-reference each other. When these three don't align, you can't fully claim the rights you're entitled to, and it's the area most often questioned. That's why we check the consistency of these three sets as part of monthly work, not only when an audit or inquiry comes.

Tourist Cash Income Versus Banked Revenue

Hotels, restaurants, and shops in Hat Yai accept cash, cards, and transfers via Thai and Malaysian apps. With multiple payment channels, recorded sales often don't match bank statements, even unintentionally. The effective solution is to close daily totals from your point-of-sale system across all channels, then reconcile with monthly bank statements — a workflow we establish from the start.

FAQ — Accounting Hat Yai

2 questions answered

Accounting is essentially document-based, so we don't need to meet every month. We set up an online document submission channel from the start and hold a monthly summary call by phone or video. For tasks that require in-person presence, such as signing important documents, we can arrange meetings at our Khon Kaen or Bangkok office.

Yes. In addition to regular sales documents, you'll need customs clearance documents and evidence of foreign payment receipts that can be cross-referenced. We'll tell you what to keep from the first month, so you don't have to chase documents from your freight forwarder later.
