Promoted-activity assessment
Advice tailored to the legal, documentary and implementation requirements relevant to promoted-activity assessment.
Corporate Law & M&A
Board of Investment (BOI) Thailand
Assess whether your project may qualify for promotion, prepare the application case and plan for the conditions that follow approval.
The legal position
Promotion follows the project, not simply the investor
BOI analysis begins with the proposed activity and the project's substance. Foreign-investor status alone does not determine whether a project qualifies.
The review should consider the relevant activity category, investment plan, technology or productivity elements, location, environmental matters and the applicable BOI announcement or statutory promotion measure.
Tax and non-tax privileges are project-specific
A qualifying project may receive specified privileges, but the package is defined by the promoted activity, legal instrument and promotion certificate. No incentive should be treated as automatic.
What the application must show
- The proposed business activity and operating model
- Investment, machinery, technology or productivity commitments
- Location, environmental and sector considerations
- Documents and evidence required by the relevant announcement
Promotion does not displace every Thai law
A promoted foreign business may still need to address the Foreign Business Act, sector-specific licences, tax, customs, labour, immigration and other continuing requirements.
