How do you pay taxes as a digital nomad in Thailand?

@Sylvia *******

IDK but I saw at City Hall to register🤷

spending 180 days inside the Kingdom in a calendar year means you are Thai tax resident. Being a Thai tax resident and having to pay Thai tax are two completely different scenarios.

@Dominik *************

it definitely changes. But you have to consider both countries in terms of of income. Your tax may have to be be paid in home/employment country. Depends on the country in question.

If you spend more than 180 days in Thailand, you are legally supposed to file any income in Thailand as well. IF its actually remitted or spent here. But dual tax agreements may allow you to deduct paid tax at home as tax credits (effectively no tax in Thailand, but still technically duty to report)

Wealth and investments however, you would only tax in Thailand if thats where you spend most of your time. Ans only on gains/remittances into Thailand

Tax is a complicated subject and depends on allot of factors.

If you are completely independent/not employed. And your clients are NOT Thai. You may be able to set up a structure where you pay tax only in Thailand IF you spend more than 180 days here.

It all depends on so many factors

It wasn't too complicated with me, I only had a pension I worked it out myself and they came to the same amount.

first apply for a TIN number then after December you submit your income. Documents are all in thai so youll need an accountant to assist

@Dominik *************

defo get a Thai accountant, and asap, the Thai tax authorities dont allow extensions on filing so you need to get everything sorted ahead of time. And good luck!
