So far what I understand of the tax obligations is:

1. Stay over 180days in 1 calendar year you become a foreigner tax resident.

2. You have to file tax on any foreign based income as remittance (basically pay tax on any money you bring into Thailand whether it be part or all of your wages, any withdrawals of ATMS etc

3. Your home country may have a dual tax agreement with Thailand which means if you get taxed in your home country then you may beable to get that amount credited to your tax eligibility in Thailand.

4. From reading a few docs and trying to make sense of it...am I right that regardless of a dual tax agreement if you stay over 180days you need to report the remittances and show proof of tax paid in home country etc??

Basically that if you stay over 180days you HAVE to file at least something and the amount will be determine dependent upon dual tax agreement/if youve paid tax in your home country?

Is there anyone that has done this yet?

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?
