Example Calculation of Taxes and Duties

The following example shows a breakdown of the liable taxes and duties assessed on the vehicles less than 2400 c.c. cylinder capacity with a CIF value of 1,000,000 Baht. CIF value of the imported vehicle and applicable taxes and duties are as follows:

CIF value of the import= 1,000,000 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)=(1,000,000 * 0.8)= 800,000 Baht2. Excise tax = (CIF value + import duty) * {Rate of excise tax/1-(1.1 * Rate of excise tax)} = (1,000,000+800,000) * {0.35/1-(1.1*0.35)} = 1,800,000 * 0.5691057 = 1,024,390.20 Baht3. Interior tax = Excise tax * Rate of interior tax = 1,024,390.20 * 0.1 = 102,439.02 Baht4. Base VAT = (CIF value+ Import duty+ Excise tax + Interior tax) = (1,000,000 + 800,000 + 1,024,390.20 + 102,439.02)= 2,926,829.20 Baht5. VAT= Base VAT * VAT Rate = 2,926,829.20 *0.07 = 204,878.04 BahtTotal taxes and duties = 1+2+3+5 = 2,131,707.20 Baht
