On 11 August 2026 the Revenue Department and the Economic Crime Suppression Division raided 10 locations and arrested 3 suspects in Operation Anti Ghost Bill. The ring sold tax invoices with no real trade behind them, used money-mule accounts, and claimed VAT credits on them, causing over 360 million baht in damage. Penalties for issuing or using such invoices: 3 months to 7 years in prison and fines of 2,000 to 200,000 baht. For your business: only accept tax invoices from real, verifiable suppliers for goods or services you actually received, and check that the invoice matches a genuine transaction before claiming VAT credit.
