よくある質問
What is the 200% digital tax deduction for Thai hotels?
It is a government tax incentive under Royal Decree No. 802 allowing registered Thai companies to deduct 200% of their qualified digital software expenses from corporate income taxes, effectively cutting the net cost of modern software upgrades.
Which hotel software platforms qualify for this corporate tax incentive?
Eligible software programs include Cloud Property Management Systems, integrated booking engines, channel managers, and accounting systems that are developed by registered vendors approved by the Digital Economy Promotion Agency.
How is the tax write-off calculated for a boutique hotel upgrade?
For an investment of 300,000 THB in eligible software, the hotel can record 600,000 THB as a deductible corporate expense. At a standard 20% corporate tax rate, this yields a direct tax saving of 120,000 THB.
Why is delaying cloud system migration until late 2026 risky?
Waiting until late 2026 forces implementation during peak high-season demand. This timing increases the risk of reservation system sync failures, technical integration delays, and inadequate staff training periods when guest traffic is highest.
What is the difference between legacy on-premise PMS and modern cloud PMS?
Legacy on-premise systems run on local reception desk computers with physical database limits and no real-time OTA sync. Cloud PMS operates on remote servers, updating inventory globally and instantly to eliminate manual overbooking issues.
