What are the tax implications for expats staying in Thailand on a DTV visa?

@Todd ********

I'm tired of arguing with loudmouths, impostors, uneducated and vile creatures. Bye!

@Urs *******

thank you for finally shutting up. Everyone will be happy. Don’t go away mad, just go away 🙏

@Todd ********

Yes Cheap Charlie and freeloader who contributes absolutely nothing in Thailand.

@Todd ********

Go back to your run down country where you belong. No one wants you here.

@Da ***

you are absolutely incorrect. You have no idea what you are talking about at all. Don’t be so foolish here please. Familiarize yourself with the situation. Clearly tax law is not your thing. Refer to the tax treaty with your home nation for clarity with regard to dual taxation

@Todd ********

okay then start reading the official regulations.



it clearly states that its about money you bring in to thailand and not all foreign income. only money that was remitted to thailand.

educate yourself first before making wild claims here.

„If a foreigner derives income from sources outside Thailand, such income is subject to income tax if the two following conditions are met:

such income has been earned in any tax year starting from 1 January 2024 onward by a foreigner who stays in Thailand for 180 days or more in a tax (calendar) year, and;

such income earned has been remitted to Thailand (wholly or partially), even if that remittance occurs in a later tax year.“

@Da ***

‘Read the official regulations’ and then adds a link that is not the official regulations. 😂😂😂 one more who thinks he is going to evade the tax system. Good luck Da Ny. Only the stupid will suffer

@Todd ********

and that will be YOU!

@Urs *******

I won’t be paying any tax. But many of you will…

@Todd ********

I pay less tax than in my home country and I pay much less for first-class health insurance than in my home country. That's fine for me. Paying taxes in Thailand doesn't have a big impact on my financial situation.

I don't mind contributing to the infrastructure that I use every day in this country. I am not a cheapskate who wants everything for free.

@Urs *******

u think you are alone in finding the first class healthcare lol? I won’t be paying any tax in Thailand, largely because I know what I’m doing. I will however still be be liable for a very small percentage of tax in my home country. So you enjoy your contribution to the infrastructure we all use. I appreciate your donation

@Todd ********

I also consider it a donation. And sometimes I even give a generous tip to the garbage collectors and the women who clean the streets. Out of gratitude for their hard work. I guess you're someone who takes their work for granted, right?

@Urs *******

😂😂😂 what kind of thought process led you from international tax discussion to tipping ‘the women who clean the streets’? 😂 How high are you now?

@Todd ********

And you're the farang that doesn't respect country and people.

@Todd ********

You're the typical cheap Charlie who wants everything for free.

@Todd ********

You must be out of your mind

@Todd ********

how is the official thai revenue department not official? lol… its the correct ministry that is in charge for the tax. and they were even so nice to create a comprehensive overview in english language for people like you. believe it or not…. thailand does not tax on worldwide income. i guess thats pretty clear and can be read in many sources… thailand taxes income that is remitted to the country in the same fiscal year no matter when you actually earned it… inform yourself.

where do i say that i will evade the tax system? my income is under a DTT and no issue at all. i am just pointing out the current regulations..

yes there have been talks about worldwide income but its not law. (yet)

@Urs *******

you are wrong indeed

@Urs *******

no it's not bud. It's only tax on money brought into Thailand. I suggest you speak to a Thai accountant as I did

@Alex ******

That bloke is always wrong - I blocked him. You are correct it is only on money remitted into Thailand. One person at the Thailand Revenue Department mentioned a global tax and everyone is bedwetting. That would need a change of law and I doubt this government has that as a priority given its members and advisors :-)

@Greg *******

so you smart guys who don't have any clue about banking and taxes. How you want tax money transfers? You cant do it! Because Thailand would be disconnected from swift system. You can't tax anyone without showing that you have the right to tax. And the real estate market would to implode as all the money has to be transfered from outside. And you have more than 10 millions international transfers per day. How you want to tax them?

80% of all Thai never payed any taxes, so there is no chance to tax foreigners. And I am not still talking about incompetent revenue office without knowledge and language skills.

@Siggi ******

What are you talking about. I have had bank accounts in Thailand for years and paid taxes here. You seem to be clueless and just a tourist. Toddle off and bother someone else Tilac.

@Alex ******

I hope you're right. I got some other information from an tax expert.

@Urs *******

they have talked about ‘global tax’ but it’s just talk. Nothing has changed, yet.
