Go to the website of the Swiss Embassy here. They explain everything. 🙏

The Swiss Embassy has nothing to do with Thai taxes, or with individual DTA treaties with other countries.

the only people who dont know, are those who haven't taken the time to visit the relevant government Tax web sites and understand the changes implemented last October and revised in November. Everything has been published already. The impact will depend on your home country and any DTA's that are in place (which are different by country). Most people will carry on as now and not be impacted as they have never put themselves into the Thai tax system, this doesnt mean there is no tax lability, just the taxman hasnt got round to checking your obligation on monies remited to Thailand (and hopefully never will). But if you have payed more tax in your home country than would be due in Thailand on the money remitted and/or there is a DTA in place covering the source income there should be no change.

Tax law has not changed
