Example Calculation of Taxes and Duties

CIF value of the imported vehicle and applicable taxes and duties are as follows:
CIF value of the import	=	100 Thai Baht
Import duty	=	80 %
Excise tax	=	35 %
Interior tax	=	10 % of excise tax
VAT	=	7 %


The total import duties and taxes imposed on this import are calculated as follows:

1. Import duty	=	(CIF value * Rate of import duty)
	=	(100 * 0.8)
	=	80 Thai Baht

2. Excise tax	=	(CIF value + import duty) * {Rate of excise tax/1-(1.1 * Rate of excise tax)}
	=	(100+80) * {0.35/1-(1.1*0.35)}
	=	180 * 0.5691057
	=	102.439 Thai Baht

3. Interior tax	=	Excise tax * Rate of interior tax
	=	102.439 * 0.1
	=	102.439 Thai Baht

4. Base VAT	=	(CIF value+ Import duty+ Excise tax + Interior tax)
	=	(100 + 80 + 102.439 + 10.2439)
	=	292.6829 Thai Baht

5. VAT	=	Base VAT * VAT Rate
	=	292.6829 *0.07
	=	20.4878 Thai Baht

Total taxes and duties = 1 + 2 + 3 + 5 = 213.171 Thai Baht

Exporting from Asia can be tricky as auto exporters and car exporters are dime a dozen. The stereotype of used car salesman is universal and based on some truth. With the advent of Internet the crooks have come out of the woodworks to separate the innocent from their money, Thailand is no exception. Caveat emptor - buyer beware - maxim has been heeded by businessmen since the time of the Ancients but it is most relevant when all it takes is a DSL modem, a nerdy kit with some HTML skills to put together a website, some Images (Pics) taken at your competitor's lots and you are in business. We have seen a parade of newbie auto exporters come in, offer great deals for a year or so perpetrating an elaborate Ponzi scheme and then disappear with millions of dollars of their customers very hard earned money. Will you trust a company that has been in business for 1 year or one that has been in business for 100 years and is well respected not only all over Asia but also beyond Asian boundaries. If someone offers you a deal that sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Not all new entrants are crooks but there are some who in their quest for the fast buck wants to cut corners at the expense of the customer. When you work with Soni you have the peace of mind to know that we have been voted Thailand's most trusted dealership and Thailand's most trusted auto exporter five years in a row and it is for this reason that we have over 80% of the auto exporting market share in Thailand.
