What a Thai distributor needs

Thursday cinema week

Booking grids, play weeks and holdovers run Thursday to Wednesday.

7% VAT on tickets and rent

Thai cinemas include 7% VAT in the ticket price, and rent invoices from a VAT-registered distributor carry 7%.

No entertainment tax

Cinema tickets carry VAT only, so settlements need no entertainment tax line.

Baht invoices

Rent invoices are prepared in baht and issued in FlowAccount.

Thai settlement

From box office to rent invoice

DISTmio removes the ticket VAT, applies your share, guarantee or flat fee for each cinema week and turns approved settlements into rent invoices with 7% VAT.

  • Weekly shares, guarantees and flat fees
  • 7% ticket VAT removed from box office
  • Rent invoices in baht
