Thai Revenue Department and the Economic Crime Suppression Division jointly busted a fake tax invoice fraud network on 11 August 2026 across five provinces, causing over 360 million baht in VAT system damage. The organized ring issued illegal invoices to create fraudulent tax credits without actual business transactions, using specialized roles and shell companies. Offenders face 3–7 years imprisonment and fines of 2,000–200,000 baht under the Revenue Code.
