Calculation results
Import tax calculation formula
- CIF Value = Product Price + Insurance + Shipping Cost
- Customs duty = CIF value × Duty rate %
- Excise tax = CIF value × Excise rate % (if any)
- VAT base = CIF + Customs duty + Excise tax
- VAT = VAT base × 7%
- Total cost = CIF + Duties + Excise + VAT
example
Imported goods CIF = 50,000 baht duty rate 20%
- Customs duty = 50,000 × 20% = 10,000 baht
- VAT base = 50,000 + 10,000 = 60,000 baht
- VAT = 60,000 × 7% = 4,200 baht
- Total cost = 50,000 + 10,000 + 4,200 = 64,200 baht
Formula used for calculation
Import tax = CIF value × tax rate
(CIF = Cost + Insurance + Freight; Rate 5%−50% depends on the product)
Calculation example
Example 1: Import goods CIF value 100,000 baht (rate 10%)
- CIF Value = 100,000 baht
- import tax rate = 10%
- import tax = 100,000 × 10% = 10,000 baht
Example 2: Import luxury goods, CIF value 200,000 baht (rate 30%) + VAT 7%
- CIF Value = 200,000 baht
- import tax rate = 30%
- import tax = 200,000 × 30% = 60,000 baht
- VAT base = 200,000 + 60,000 = 260,000 baht
- VAT 7% = 260,000 × 7% = 18,200 baht
- All taxes included = 60,000 + 18,200 = 78,200 baht
