In this episode of WTF Podcast | HR Forte, I dive into the seismic shifts in Thailand's compliance landscape set for 2025. We explore the rapid move towards mandatory digitalization, focusing on the new e-filing requirements for payroll withholding tax and the incentives for digital compliance. I also unpack the significant changes in severance pay tax exemptions, which could alter termination strategies for businesses. Additionally, we discuss draft amendments to the Labor Protection Act, including expanded maternity leave and new caregiving leave categories. With a strong emphasis on synchronization, I highlight the importance of aligning payroll systems with tax and immigration records to navigate this evolving regulatory environment effectively. Join me as we dissect these crucial updates and their implications for businesses operating in Thailand.
