The government is urging legal entities to submit their financial statements through the online DBD e-Filing system by 2 June 2026, highlighting the importance of enhancing credibility, maintaining business transparency standards, and supporting the digital economy.
On 22 April 2026, Ms. Lalida Pertvivattana, Deputy Spokesperson of the Prime Minister's Office, announced that the government, through the Ministry of Commerce, requests cooperation from legal entities with fiscal years ending 31 December 2025 to promptly submit their financial statements via the DBD e-Filing online system by 2 June 2026 to comply with the legally mandated timeframe.
The Department of Business Development revealed that in 2026, approximately 907,151 legal entities are required to file financial statements. So far, 104,369 entities have submitted, representing 12%. Financial statements are crucial data reflecting business performance and are used by management, shareholders, partners, and investors for decision-making, as well as serving as a tool to build business credibility.
Regarding deadlines, limited companies, public limited companies, trade associations, and chambers of commerce must hold shareholder meetings to approve financial statements by 30 April 2026 and submit them within four months after the fiscal year ends. This year, since the deadline falls on a holiday, submissions are accepted until 2 June 2026. Registered partnerships, joint ventures, and foreign legal entities can submit within five months after the fiscal year ends, with the deadline also on 2 June 2026 this year.
Ms. Lalida stated that failure by legal entities to submit financial statements on time will affect their credibility. Continuous failure to submit for more than three fiscal years may result in the entity being considered dormant and removed from the database.
She further recommended that business operators submit their financial statements early to reduce system congestion and allow time to correct any errors. Filing via the DBD e-Filing system offers convenience, speed, reduces document costs, and supports the practical advancement of Thai business sectors toward the digital economy.
“The government requests that legal entities comply with the deadlines to maintain business transparency standards and strengthen overall economic confidence,” she said.
