Hey social media influencers on DTV:

Director-General Pinsai Suraswadi of the Thai Revenue Department has made it clear:

🔹 Social media influencers and online business owners must file income tax documents by the end of this month.

🔹 Failure to report income can result in severe penalties—including back taxes, interest, and fines that can increase your liability by up to 5x!

🔹 The Thai government is tracking digital footprints, making it easier than ever to detect unreported earnings.

🔹 The Revenue Department has the power to audit records going back 5 years—and the penalties include both civil and criminal consequences.

Have a tax filling question related to the DTV Soft Power option. I have not applied yet.

I have seen posts stating being asked to submit the previous years Tax Filing. Is this a requirement for everyone and is it posted anywhere?

I have comprehension issue reading so I may have read it and misinterpreted it.

For the past 5 years I have not been legally required to file taxes in my home country, so I haven't. My current retirement income is tax free and I am to young for a Thailand retirement visa.

I can file taxes in my home country if required for the DTV.

Thanks for any knowledge.

Can anyone confirm if they earn money back home (and pay tax) and in Thailand after 180 days do you magically get told by someone to file a tax return? Or you just don't?
