Can I obtain a Tax Identification Number (TIN) and pay taxes with a DTV soft power visa in Thailand?

I have a DTV but am not liable to pay tax in Thailand. There is no one yet paying taxes under the DTV as the policy on paying it is not finalised. You can get a TIN from your local tax office, but you will not start paying tax yet. You can find posts on the main DTV Facebook page of DTVERS going to the tax office. If you are living of income from savings before 2024 then you are not liable to pay tax, a recent DTVER was told by the tax office. 21-thailand-yet-to-finalise-policy-on-taxing-expats%E2%80%99-overseas-income/

@Jim *******

Yep, many are unaware of the legal means to limit tax or think they have to pay it. The tax office itself is not fully sure of what to do and turning some away who have come to register.

In that case it suits you, which is great. Everyone's situation is different. I retain Australian Tax Residency as the concessions I get for my investments far outweigh any advantage in changing tax residency

Yes.

@Alexis *****

removed his post as soon as he realised how idiotic it was. Seemed to think anyone not paying tax will be arrested and jailed! 😂
