Do you have to pay taxes in Thailand on foreign income from remote work?

Also Simon Says....

🤔😜🤣😂

ChatGPT is your girlfriend name that cant be wrong?

I depends on like 5 things including what visa you are on , where the income is coming from etc . Generally to pay tax right now you need to be on a long term visa. Rather than police the tax, they are getting stricter on the actual visas first and pushing people out for reentry to solve this . Likely to change but no news on how right now

Yes it correct if youre talking about your SALARY. It is thai sourced income because income is sourced where it generated from not where it is paid from (and this is a trivial concept in accounting) . You can ask any accountant or consult any global accountancy firm or their online info, eg pwc tax summaries, and also thai rev depts info and it all says this in black and white. Of course the amount you pay is net of what you pay elsewhere withstanding DTA agreements. And by the way... this applies whether youre a tax resident in thailand or not, ie from day 1 that you start working here. Heres some proof

Foreign source income is income like pension income from overseas, dividends from companies overseas, bond income from US bonds, rental income from properties overseas etc , because the income is generated by an asset overseas, not an source in thailand (eg you and your work performed)

The reality is 99% of 'digital nomads' including the ones in here just dont have a clue what theyre talking about.... so be careful and get professional advice if youre still unsure.

Chatgpt does not give perfect legal advice especially for international law. All Ai hallucinates as well

Source- work with ai daily.

share me your GPT conversation please :)

First ask ChatGPT, then ask any FB group, but never consider to ask a professional Thai lawyer skilled and studied in Thai law🤣👍🏼

People need to start doing their own research and stop relying completely on chat GPT. It is not 100% accurate. That's why you are here asking questions.

Ask silly questions get silly answers….

only money that you remit into thailand… but no one really cares

Thailand has remittance basis of taxation on foreign income. Not worldwide earned income. Additionally you need to spend in the country more than 180 days to become a resident for tax purposes when above starts applying.

Thailand doesn't tax on worldwide income. (Yet) Only remittance. If you don't bring it into Thailand, you don't pay tax.

AI is not meant to replace Human Intelligence

This is regulated by the DTA agreement between your country and Thailand as well as your tax residency status.

So the answer could be yes and it could be no or something in between.

Have you ever seen the tax rates in Thailand

They are not scary at all

Only if you become a Thai Tax payer (live in Thailand more than 180 days per fiscal period). Otherwise you do not need to fill tax reports in Thailand, only in the country where you are currently registered as fiscal payer

Lol

Clearly AI can't understand Thai "logic"

NEVER EVER trust the AI for serious and complicated legal or tax matters 😅🤷🏻

Believe me or not, here in Korea I know people that has been deported because they violated their visa rules by believing what ChatGPT told them about what they were allowed or not to do.

180+ days if not you are not considered for this. Again im not a tax advocate but this is what i read before coming here 🙏

No, foreign sourced income is only taxed on remittance once you become a Thai tax resident.

Not true. Even for tax residents Thailand has never taxed global income not remitted.

No it is not true. Ask ChatGPT how long you need to be in Thailand to be liable for tax.
