VAT exemption applies to tuition for educational services at private schools
Thailand's Revenue Department confirms that educational services provided by government-recognised public and private schools, including international schools, are exempt from value-added tax. This exemption applies to tuition charged for educational services; it does not automatically extend to unrelated goods or separately supplied non-educational services, which may require separate assessment. The exemption reflects current law already in force, not a proposed or future change. The official Revenue Department page does not disclose the original commencement date of the exemption itself; the page was last shown as updated on 23 November 2020.

Private schools must publish approved fee schedules and cannot collect undisclosed charges
From academic year 2024, private schools in Thailand are required to publish their government-approved schedule of tuition and other fees, including refund conditions. Schools may not collect any charge from parents or students that is not included on this published schedule. This is a fee-transparency and fee-collection rule introduced by the Ministry of Education; it does not create or alter a tax on school fees. The measure is already in force for the current academic year rather than merely proposed or announced for the future.

Mandatory Thai language, culture and history provision at international schools
A rule published in Thailand's Royal Gazette on 4 August 2026, and effective that same date, requires international schools to provide Thai language, culture and history learning. Thai-national students must receive at least 20 hours per year at pre-primary level, at least 150 hours per year from primary through lower-secondary, and 150-200 hours per year at upper-secondary depending on programme length. Foreign-national students face lower minimum hours, and Thai-related subjects become elective at upper-secondary level for them. Schools already teaching such content before the rule took effect must revise curricula and secure approval before the first semester of academic year 2027.
