ORIGINAL POSTER

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

DTV visa holders in Thailand who stay over 180 days per year are subject to Thai taxes. It is important to determine your tax percentage, which can be found through resources like a Thai tax calculator, and to identify where to make tax payments. If you leave Thailand before reaching the 180-day threshold and return, your stay resets to zero days. Additionally, receiving salary in cryptocurrency may have specific tax implications, so consulting with tax professionals or resources is advisable.

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

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.

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.

Enzo Clopedia As he is staying in Thailand for more than 183 days, Thailand is considered to be the country of activity and could therefore claim the primary right of taxation on his income.

The tax year runs same as calendar year. You are tax resident in Thailand if you spend more than 180 days in Thailand in a calendar year. As for tax rates just Google "Thai Tax Calculator". A few sites have them. You also need to look if any Tax Agreements in place that are relevant to your situation.
