Does a Thai company with no revenue still have to keep accounts?
Short answer
Yes. The obligation attaches to registration, not to trading. A dormant company must still keep books, have its financial statements audited by a CPA, hold the annual shareholders' meeting, and file with the DBD and the Revenue Department — with nil figures where there was no activity.
Dormant companies are where penalties quietly accumulate. Monthly VAT returns are still due if the company is VAT-registered, withholding tax returns are due for any payment made, and the annual DBD and tax filings run on the normal deadlines. Because nothing is happening commercially, nobody watches the calendar, and the first sign of trouble is often a summons or a blocked filing when the owners try to reactivate or close the company years later.
If the business genuinely will not trade, decide deliberately between keeping it compliant and dormant, or dissolving it. Dissolution is a defined process — shareholder resolution, DBD registration of dissolution, public notice, a liquidator, tax clearance and a final audited liquidation account — and it is far cheaper to run once than to keep filing nil returns for a company nobody intends to use.
