Hi,

Can anyone tell me what percentage of tax I need to pay while staying on a DTV visa? Is that percentage fixed for all DTV holders, or does it vary?

TLDR : Answer Summary

The tax rate in Thailand is not dependent on the type of visa, including the DTV visa. Personal income tax (PIT) rates are tiered from 0% to 35%, with the specific rate applicable to each individual based on their financial situation. To avoid being considered a tax resident, individuals should limit their stay to less than 180 days. It's important to note that income earned outside of Thailand may be taxed at varying rates, and expats can typically offset foreign taxes paid against their Thai tax obligations.

Don't stay more than 179 days and you won't be a tax resident. Or in other words, don't extend beyond 180 days stay allowance.

Basically, every outside thailand income you bring to thailand is taxed between 0% to 30%, but you can short it with tax you pay outside thailand for that income.

Basically if you have a lot of saving before coming to thailand, you will pay 0% for long time ( depending of the amount of your saving ). Plus, with tax thai resident, you should be able to lower any tax in the country of your income.

Thailand has tiered PIT rates from zero to 35%. Your personal financial situation determines if or how much tax you are required to pay.
