Hi, the question is about taxes incoming from DTV visa.

If a DTV holder stays in Thailand for more than 180 days per year he is subject to taxes.

Questions:

1) What are the taxes in % and where/whom should I pay that? How to make it official?

2) If I leave before 180 days and come back again in 1 month will I still need to pay taxes or the period will reset back to zero days of standing?

3) What if I receive salary in Crypto?

Thanks!

TLDR : Answer Summary
The inquiry revolves around tax responsibilities for Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) holders in Thailand, specifically if they exceed the 180-day threshold for residency. Key questions include the percentage of taxes owed and the payment process, whether leaving and re-entering Thailand resets the stay duration for tax obligations, and implications of receiving income in cryptocurrency. Responses highlight the importance of understanding local tax law, the potential application of double tax treaties, and clarify that tax obligations are tied to residency beyond 180 days per calendar year.

Being that it is illegal to do any work in Thailand, and only do remote work, Thailand expects you to pay taxes in your home country.

lol. Cmon man. NO country avoids taxing residents. And Thailand most certainly DOESN’T ‘expect you to pay tax in your home country’. It’s one thing to be clueless about international taxation, but holy. Shake your head

@Todd ********
actually Thailand is very trusting until you prove them wrong, then they make rules to correct that. That is why they ended the tax loophole last January.

Use search function. Already discussed

You should look up double tax treaties/agreements. Many cases if you already paid taxes over your income in for example the source country or residence country you can’t be taxed again.

and if you don’t pay taxes in another country, you will in Thailand

probably, still trying to find if I don’t meet the threshold of your home country you still have to pay income tax.
