The Cabinet has approved extending the 7% VAT rate for another year, until September 30, 2027.

The Cabinet has approved extending the Value Added Tax (VAT) reduction measure at 7% for another year, from October 1, 2026 to September 30, 2027, to help stabilize the cost of living and maintain the stability of the Thai economy.

On September 27, 2026 , Ms. Ratchada Thanadirek, spokesperson for the Prime Minister's Office, revealed that the reduced Value Added Tax (VAT) rate, which is set to expire on September 30, 2026, will be extended for another year, from October 1, 2026, to September 30, 2027. The VAT rate will temporarily remain at 6.3% (excluding local taxes) or 7% (including local taxes) for all sales of goods, services, and imports.

"Maintaining the Value Added Tax (VAT) rate at 7% will help mitigate the impact of the rising cost of living, stimulate public consumption, thereby boosting business confidence in the Thai economy and enabling domestic private investment to expand as targeted. It will also foster a favorable business environment for the private sector."
