How can I obtain a Thai Tax ID while on a DTV?

@Paul ************

So I paid 16 500 baht in taxes in Thailand for last year.

This amount made me effectively pay no tax in Norway, and Norway gave me back all the money I already paid ( Since it is taken out of paychecks if you have Norwegian based income )

If I had not paid my taxes in Thailand. I would have paid roughly 200 000 baht worth of taxes in Norway.

But you do you, I suppose.

@Marianne *******

That's what your advocating for. Good luck.

@Paul ************

never heard of tax agreements, have you?

@Paul ************

Why am I the one that needs therapy?

Be specific.

@Marianne *******

please get some therapy. Lots of good doctors out there.

@Tore ********

I bet it's the same folks that throw a fit if foreigners trying to live in their home doesn't follow the rules to a T too.

@Marianne *******

just ignore. These groups attracts allot of weirdos/trolls.

@Paul ************

Also not sure why you're sending me a friend request 🙃

@Paul ************

Why do you think I am the one needing therapy?

I am not the one publically admitting I do tax evasion.

@Marianne *******

Gets some therapy

@Paul ************

Is that your best rebuttal?

@Marcin ***********

you are wasting your time and energy talking to this guy. He spouts the same nonsense in most of these threads. He creatives a narrative to suit what he has convinced himself because his head is buried so deep in the sand. Really, don’t waste your time.

@El***

Not exactly how it works, there is a concept of PE, you would need to have a passive company income not active to be safe

Anonymous participant 880 Where is the lie though?

I honestly don't care what you personally do with your own taxes. But I do care about misinformation.

Saying there is simply no tax when you are on the DTV is factually incorrect.

But what you pay taxes on will depend on a few variables unique to every individual.

Anonymous participant 880 Where is the lie?

You are the one running around spreading misinformation like it's a fact.

Anonymous participant 880 I believe in following the rules and regulations in the country I am staying in.

Laws and regulations are in fact not opinions.

Anonymous participant 880 I save money paying my taxes in Thailand. 🙃

Opinionated because you are wrong.

@Marcin ***********

I'm a tax resident of my home country even if I don't stay physically there. Each country has different rules. I've heard that in some European countries, even the nationals lose their residency status if they don't live there for over xxx days a year. In my country (not European), I'll be always a tax resident IF I earn money from there (such a salary, own business, etc.). I work for a local company and get paid a salary every month, and I also own a small company there. So even if I've been here for two years, I'm still a tax resident in my home country. Actually, I just filled and paid last year income tax a few days ago.

To make it clear, it's not me who chooses whether I'm a tax resident there or not, it's the national tax authority. And they say I still am.

(PS: no income from within Thailand, either)

@Elías *******

Do you not spend money in Thailand?

@Marianne *******

yes, IF brought AND depending on what the specific DTA says.

@Marcin ***********

The anon guys keeps deleting his comment about not having to pay taxes on the DTV, because I keep correcting him on it. :P

You and me agree though. You do normally pay taxes on remote income, but stuff like dual tax agreements will come into play as well.

@Mari****

Yes, this is not what I mean. I mean that you can not earn local income on DTv, but the tax filling is other thing and you may be eligible to file it. If you will be taxed on it that is other case - remittance, type of income and double treaty agreements. For the anonymous guy that is laughing at my answers: you can always say sth if you have anything to say (but I guess your max is only laughs because knowledge is missing)

@Elías *******

Not how it works. It does not matter if the income is not sourced in Thailand.

Remote income brought into Thailand is also taxed if you are a tax resident ( being in Thailand for 180 days in a calendar year makes you a tax resident )

@El***

But you have other income and if you stay all year in thai than who's tax resident are you?

@Marianne *******

yes i thinked he say DTV not do tax. My bad

@Quentin *******

They are agreeing with you...

Visa status has no relevance to tax. Tax needs to be declared regardless.

But let other people have the right information.
