hello I have a DTV visa so no bank account for me ,if I stay more than 180 days in Thailand (of course I leave Thailand every 6 months )so if I stay more than 6 months in Thailand per year, I only make withdrawals by bank card or chage with cash, I will pay taxes without bank account in Thailand, can you inform me?

Bonjour j'ai un visa DTV donc pas de compte bancaire pour moi ,si je reste plus de 180 jours en Thaïlande (bien sûr je sors de la Thaïlande tout les 6 mois )donc si je reste plus de 6 mois en Thaïlande par année, je ne fait que des retraits par carte bancaire ou du chage avec du cash, je vais payé des impôts sans compte bancaire en Thaïlande, pouvez-vous me renseigner ?
Answer summary
The post discusses tax obligations for individuals with a DTV visa living in Thailand for over 180 days. It highlights that even without a bank account, one can be a tax resident and must file a tax return if bringing 120,000 baht or more of income into Thailand. Various methods of income transfer and cash withdrawals are mentioned, confirming that taxes apply regardless of the payment method.

Yes any remitted money (transfer, credit card, cash) to Thailand may be liable for taxes depending on your situation. You're considered as fiscal resident when staying in Thailand for 180 days and more, per calendar year.

If you bring 120k baht or more of assessable income into Thailand in a year you are a tax resident you have to file a tax return. It doesn't matter how you bring the income in, bank transfers to either your own or a friends account (for your benefit), withdrawing from an ATM, even travelling into Thailand with cash in your pocket

You can pay cash at the Revenue Office if you own any tax.
