DBD Beneficial Ownership Disclosure Notification
ประกาศกรมพัฒนาธุรกิจการค้า เรื่องการแจ้งข้อมูลบุคคลผู้รับประโยชน์ที่แท้จริง · BO Disclosure · B.E. 2566 (2023)
Overview
The DBD Beneficial Ownership Disclosure framework requires Thai juristic persons to identify, document, and (in many cases) report natural-person beneficial owners. Implementation aligns Thailand with FATF Recommendation 24 and the OECD Global Forum standards. Beneficial ownership is defined as a natural person who ultimately owns or controls the entity (25%+ threshold or control test).
