ERP for foreign-owned companies operating in Thailand
Subsidiaries and joint ventures in Thailand need two things at once: Thai statutory accounting that the Revenue Department and local auditors accept, and reporting the parent company can read. MotionERP, by Dynamics Motion, is built for exactly that.
Updated October 2026
Which ERP works for a foreign-owned company in Thailand?
You need Thai VAT (PP.30), withholding tax (PND.3 and PND.53 with 50 Tawi certificates), tax invoices in the Revenue Department format, e-Tax Invoice, and financial statements under TFRS for NPAEs, plus English reporting and a chart of accounts mapped to the group. MotionERP ships all of this as standard, runs on Google Cloud, costs a flat 34,000 THB per month for 30 to 80 users with implementation from 189,000 THB, and is implemented by Dynamics Motion's bilingual team with a one-year guarantee.
What the Thai entity must produce, and how MotionERP does it
| Requirement | Thai rule | MotionERP |
|---|---|---|
| Tax invoices | Revenue Department format with Thai tax ID, branch code and running numbers | Generated from sales orders; e-Tax Invoice and e-Receipt sent digitally |
| VAT return | PP.30 monthly, filed by the 15th or within the e-filing extension | Input and output VAT accrued daily; return and file generated at month-end |
| Withholding tax | PND.3 (individuals) and PND.53 (companies) monthly, 50 Tawi certificate to the payee | Withheld automatically on payment by expense type; certificates and returns generated |
| Financial statements | TFRS for NPAEs (or full TFRS for listed groups), filed with the DBD annually | Statements from a Thai statutory chart of accounts mapped to the group chart; DBD e-Filing export |
| Payroll and social security | Thai labour law, social security fund, PND.1 monthly | HR and payroll in the same system; payslips and filings generated |
| Group reporting | Parent company formats and currency | Bilingual account names, 167 currencies with exchange rates, PDF, XLSX and API export |
Summary of the common obligations; your auditor confirms the exact filings for your entity.
Why foreign-owned companies choose a Thai system
Compliance is the vendor's job
Thai tax rules change; in MotionERP the vendor maintains them. With global ERPs, Thai localisation is a partner add-on that you pay to keep current.
Flat pricing for the whole team
34,000 THB per month covers 30 to 80 users, so warehouse, production and sales staff work in the system instead of spreadsheets.
Bilingual implementation
Workshops, training and support in Thai for your staff and in English for management; account names and statements can be bilingual.
Data stays yours
Per-customer environment on Google Cloud, full export at any time, exit terms written in the contract.
Fit
MotionERP fits when
Thai entity with 30 to 80 users across accounting, sales, warehouse, production or HR
Parent company needs monthly English reporting but does not mandate a specific ERP
You want one vendor accountable for Thai compliance and implementation
Consider another option when
The group mandates a single global ERP instance for all subsidiaries
The Thai entity has fewer than 30 users and only needs bookkeeping
You need multi-country consolidation inside the Thai system itself
Questions from foreign-owned companies
Can our parent company's auditors access the system?
Yes. Auditor access is a role with read-only rights and a full audit trail; account names can be bilingual and statements export to PDF and XLSX.
Can we map our group chart of accounts?
The Thai statutory chart is primary; account names are bilingual and group mapping is agreed in the workshop phase so exports match the parent's format.
How long does implementation take?
Three to nine months for a 30 to 80 user company, including one accounting period run in parallel with the previous system before go-live.
What does it cost?
A flat 34,000 THB per month for 30 to 80 users and an implementation package from 189,000 THB; data migration and training are included. Prices are for 2026 and exclude VAT.
