Do I have to pay tax in Thailand if I've already paid tax in the UK on the same income?

NO

No need to pay tax

I have not read all of this in detail but I would also review the double taxation agreement if relevant. This is often overlooked.

@Arch ********

These people? Only a fool would think that there are no highly skilled craftsman, architects or engineers amongst the entire population?

My experience so far

No tax on my transfers

I pay tax on USA prior to getting here

I have sent 3 transfers and none have been taxed by Thailand

I’m not sure how they know if you pay tax on the money prior to coming here

But they haven’t forced me to prove I’m tax paid already

Good luck

How come

but if you love thailand, better not care too much about contribute a bit more by paying tax due, maybe more attention should be turned towards air pollution, pm 2.5, smog …

seems even bangkok not immune to it, not only the northern part like CM

taxation is for Thai people work in the broad and coming back into Thailand nothing to do with you care or any European or Western country

every country has its own

rule,so far it seems the

philippines is most friendly and

much less restrictive, nothing

like 90 day or TM30, for retirees, same for malaysia

guess the critical issue is the onus of proof, will you be required and able to explain satisfactorily which part of income you sent is not taxable, as you may mix up all income, or your aggregate income come from different sources, some taxable, some not. Some think about using loophole, guess these loophole if any will be known and closed or tackled very soon

some one interpret as below:

those people

from countries which have

a double tax agreement

with Thailand could still need to pay new

tax in Thailand,

double tax means that you

will receive tax credit for

taxes paid outside of

Thailand. So, if you are

assed as having to pay

usd200 in USA and usd300

in Thailand, In Thailand you

would pay 300-200=100

dollars in Thailand.

anyway the risk is that one still likely to fill a tax report form with income and asset and let authority decide which is taxable and which be exempt. Filling the form could be a tedious process, depending on how it is designed, and whether there is english translation, or chinese? if not, hopefully no.need to seek professional help. And how can one prove whether the remitted income already taxed in other jurisdiction?(for example you have multiple income sources, and some sources already taxed but some exempted due to different tax law in another country )

does double tax exemption imply blanket tax exemption without need for exemption on an item by item basis (income source item/category) or need comparison of individual category, eg investment income, rental collected or simply pensions

No you won't pay tax. But I wouldn't advise sending large sums of money to buy something you'll never own, however that's another story!

This may help.

First question will be always whether you are a resident for tax purposes. If yes the second question will be whether you are taxed on worldwide or only thai-submitted income. And third question whether your country has a double taxation treaty with Thailand. Has anybody had a proper professional advice yet? When i had it in Indonesia the chap calculated the indonesian tax on worldwide income in line with the self assesment rules, personal allowances and tiered tax brackets as per indonesian tax law, deducted tax paid in UK as per my UK tax return and arrived at the additional tax due in Indonesia. Interestingly the tax liability difference was minimal but headache of the second tax residency can be huge. I decided the world is too big for me to create additional headaches for myself and will simply not stay in any country long enough to become a resident for tax purposes (which usually means more than 182 days in the fiscal year). PS: sending money to your wife is another matter itrelevant to you as it becomes her own tax affair and she may need tax advice.

It sounds like you are not resident in Thailand for tax purposes so you would not be liable to thai tax. How it would affect your wife's tax status I've no idea but there is such a thing as gift tax in Thailand

No

Y would u want too built ,these people are not tradesman one day they drv taxis nxt day they are cleaning roads huge risk 🤔

This whole thing has been a mess. I would recommend doing exactly what I’m doing. I’ve decided to keep my stay under 6 months, at least this year. When you say you’re “sending” money to your wife, it sounds like you’re not currently here. It’s probably the easiest thing as we see how things play out.

Hope she's Thai

No, Thailand banking system has joined the rest of the world system. If it's been taxed once no issue

No you do not have to pay tax if you're transfering savings. Plenty of bs advice from idiots on the internet

No there is a back to back agreement with the UK. If you stay over 179 days then you will probably have to do a tax return. If it is money sent to your wife I doubt any issues as it’s not income.

If your transferring into her bank using wise no issues

No , just crack on

This question is asked multiple times a day. Look at previous posts.
