In the title compound, [NH2(C3H7)2][Sn(C2H2O2S)(C6H5)3], the thioacetate dianion chelates to the Sn atom [Sn-S = 2.432 (1), Sn← O = 2.608 (3) Å, S-Sn-O = 74.2 (1)°], which displays cis-C3SnOS trigonal bipyramidal coordination. Two stannate ions are linked together through two ammonium cations [NO = 2.753 (5), 2.886 (5) Å] to give rise to a dimeric ion pair.
