Wish to check. Having a Thai marriage visa is eligible for yearly tax return when I work in Thailand ? I'm currently on working visa now and got to know I'm not eligible for tax return if I continue to be on working visa.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The eligibility for a tax return in Thailand is not dependent on whether one holds a Thai marriage visa or a working visa. Regardless of the visa type, if you work for a Thai company, taxes will be withheld from your salary, and you are required to file a tax return. Filing a tax return can help determine your actual tax amount, possibly resulting in a refund or additional payment.

You are still required to pay taxes in Thailand if you work for a Thai company. They will with-hold your taxes on each pay check. Sometime in late January or early February they will give you a tax form for the year. You will take this to any revenue department and they will figure your actual tax amount. You may get a small refund, or you may owe money. There is no way of knowing this till you go. Amd taxes have to be filled every year to renew your work permit.

Tax return is related to tax taken out of your paycheck from your job. It’s not related to your type of visa.

Being on a working visa or marriage visa has nothing to do with your taxes.
