A reminder to all legal entities: Don't forget to submit your financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025, through the DBD e-Filing system by June 2, 2026. Mr. Poonpong Naiyanapakorn, Director-General of the Department of Business Development, Ministry of Commerce, revealed that in 2026, approximately 907,151 legal entities are required to submit financial statements to the Department of Business Development. Currently, 104,369 legal entities have submitted their financial statements to the system, representing 12% of all entities required to submit financial statements. Financial statements summarize the year's operational results of a business, and are relevant to stakeholders such as directors, shareholders, business partners, and investors who need to know the financial situation and performance of the business. Businesses that fail to submit financial statements will lose credibility, and failure to submit them for more than three consecutive fiscal years may result in the company being deregistered as a dormant legal entity and removed from the legal entity database.

For legal entities required to submit financial statements this year, limited companies and public limited companies using a fiscal year ending December 31, 2025, must hold a shareholders' meeting to approve the financial statements within four months of the end of the fiscal year. Or by April 30, 2026, and must submit financial statements within 4 months. However, this year, May 31, the last day, is a holiday, meaning the latest submission date is June 2, 2026. This also applies to registered partnerships, joint ventures, and foreign legal entities whose fiscal year ends on December 31, 2025, which must submit financial statements within 5 months of the fiscal year closing date. This year, they can submit financial statements until June 2, 2026. Similarly, trade associations and chambers of commerce whose fiscal year ends on December 31, 2025, if they hold a general meeting to approve financial statements on April 30, 2026, must submit the financial statements by June 2, 2026.

Director-General Poonpong added that he would like to urge legal entities with fiscal years ending on December 31, 2025, that have not yet submitted their financial statements to expedite the process. Although each type of legal entity has a different fiscal year ending date, they must all submit financial statements within the legally mandated timeframe. He requested that financial statements be submitted through the DBD e-Filing system, which will allow businesses to utilize financial statements conveniently and quickly. At the same time, the government can use up-to-date information to assess trends and analyze business directions in order to immediately promote and support the country's economy. It also helps reduce costs and budgets associated with document management, including storage and maintenance. Furthermore, it reduces expenses for businesses, decreases paper usage, and helps conserve natural resources and the environment. Submitting financial statements through the DBD e-Filing system is a key driver and support for Thai businesses to concretely transition to the digital economy.
