Hi does anyone know if the 180 days or less to avoid tax implications start from each calendar year Jan to Dec? Or is it rolling fron time of entry? For example you arrive in beginning of November get 60 days extend another 30 and your now at start of Feb. Does that mean you only have 90 days max left until November or 120/130 days from the new calendar year?
TLDR : Answer Summary
The 180-day rule for determining tax residency in Thailand is based on a calendar year, running from January to December. Any foreigner who stays in Thailand for 180 days or more during this period may be considered a tax resident. The comments suggest that while this rule exists, it is often not strictly enforced, especially for expats, due to the complexities and costs involved with their taxation in relation to closed-border agreements.
