Do DTV visa holders have to pay taxes in Thailand?

@Tore ********

you might be looking at exclusive right to tax clauses, some countries treaties do have those if you fall into those requirements, that means your income would only be taxed by one country. A lot of people get that wrong though, thinking their home country gets the exclusive right to tax, but if you are a full time thai resident, Thailand would typically get the exclusive right to tax.

Double tax treaties are not anti-double tax treaties. Thier purpose is to tell you how you will be taxed by both countries. Most treaties and most income classes are fully assessable in both countries offset by credits.

Reviewing the Netherlands treaty, which is an old one, which is quite beneficial compared to most. There are income types that are taxable by countries like dividends and most passive income, articles 9 to 12.

would still talk to an accountant, I also bring in my UK pension along with my wife’s from Singapore, and I have discussed with accountant and local tax office and they have advised me to file a return , and any tax due on remittances will be offset by a credit for tax paid in UK and SIN under DTA’s with both countries - I can’t afford to fall foul of tax man, he never goes away and I have too much invested here with our own property and two dogs……it will only be a problem for many if they link tax to visa renewal then the brown stuff hits the fan and agents get rich - good luck.

I was speaking generally with reference to the bulk of expats from "western countries". The vast majority of these who are on pensions which are not taxable in Thailand
