Modified on: Tue, 2 Sep, 2025 at 5:24 PM

Company Information for Receipts

When submitting expenses for reimbursement, it is essential that all receipts include the following company information:

Company Name: HORIZONS GLOBAL TECHNOLOGY (THAILAND) LTD. / บริษัท ฮอไรซันส์ โกลบอล เทคโนโลยี (ประเทศไทย) จำกัด
Tax ID: 0105566138496
Address: 98 Sathorn Square Office Tower, 37th Floor, Room No. 3760, North Sathorn Road, Silom Subdistrict, Bang Rak District, Bangkok 10500 / 98 อาคารสาทรสแควร์ ออฟฟิศ ทาวเวอร์ ชั้นที่ 37 ห้องเลขที่ 3760 ถนนสาทรเหนือ แขวงสีลม เขตบางรัก กรุงเทพมหานคร 10500

If a formal tax invoice/receipt is provided, ensure that all details comply with the attached regulations. If another name is used on the invoice, those expenses cannot be claimed for corporate income tax purposes and will be taxed as part of the employee’s personal income.

Expense Claims: Determining the Right Submission Process

To ensure your expense claims are processed smoothly, please follow the correct submission steps based on your employment arrangement:

1. Check Your Employment Agreement

Your agreement outlines which reimbursement process applies to you. Procedures may vary depending on whether you are employed directly by Horizons or through ATA.

2. Submit Through Your Horizons Profile

All employees, whether employed by Horizons or ATA, must submit their expense claims via their Horizons profile.

3. Additional Step for ATA Employees

If you are employed by ATA, you must also submit your expense claims to your local ATA office in addition to uploading them to your Horizons profile.
