Over 200 responses to a post yesterday regarding paying tax in Thailand. Much discussed in 2024, but not so much this year. Seems to be two groups. Those that registered, and those that haven't. My question is this - has anyone heard of anyone being prosecuted for failing to register?

Hello 🙂 I would like to know if it is possible to have a Tax Identification Number (TIN) and pay tax when you have a visa DTV soft power.

Thank you in advance

Hypothetical question: If a foreigner has a TIN does this automatically make him/her a tax resident even if he/she has not been in Thailand more than 180 days in any tax year? If anyone has a definite answer this would be appreciated.

Are we liable to pay tax or file return if we live in Thailand more than 10 months with DTV Visa and a Visa run after every 160 days in one year? If so what percentage for nomads?

Bank account with TTB

After reports in this group that TTB accepts the DTV for opening bank accounts, I visited the Central Festival Pattaya branch. And they refuse to even consider opening an account without a work permit.

Has anyone opened a bank account with them recently? If so, which branch? I don't mind going to Bangkok or another nearby city to open an account.

TIA

Earlier in the year foreign clients of Kasikorn Bank received communication about Commonn Reporting Standard (CRS) and FATCA (for US citizens). There was a need to complete and submit forms.

Now Bangkok Bank has started the communication and it is predicted all foreign account holders of accounts in all banks will have to complete the forms.

The main question for DTV holders on the form is "Country of Residence" and "TIN" or if no TIN specific reason. This is for Tax Reporting to country of residence which Thailand signed up to.

Please do not shoot the messenger :-) :-)

Question here for the DTV holders currently residing in Thailand longer than 180 days per year therefore becoming liable for Thai income tax returns. Does anyone here have any experience dealing with a local agent that understands the situation and double tax treaties? I’m a full time online freelancer earning %100 of my income from Australian clients and pay Australian income taxes and GST. Any experience from others or recommendations for a local agent would be appreciated as we are intending to stay for 1 full year leaving the country only a few times between those 180 day periods for some other travel. From what I understand you’re only taxed on what is remitted into Thailand however it seems largely a grey area.

Is there any information if TINs or tax clearance receipts are now required to renew Non O visas for retired expats ?

Hey,

I know similar things have been asked before and I know this group is about DTV (I have a DTV) and not tax. However, maybe someone can guide me in the right direction.

I have stayed 177 days in Thailand this year, meaning, if I wanted to, I could come over for a week and become a tax resident.

Now, I am not trying to avoid paying taxes in Thailand, I actually want to pay taxes in Thailand. I am not a tax resident in my homecountry anymore. So I would like to pay my total taxes in Thailand.

Does anyone have experience with paying taxes in Thailand as a digital nomad without another tax residency other than Thailand.

Can you point me in the right direction?

I have allready asked a Thai tax consultant, he didn´t seem to know or understand.

For the haters: I have always paid my taxes where I had to, I am not trying to avoid, I am trying to do right, understand and optimise.

Has anyone applied for a Tax Identification Number (TIN) in Pattaya recently?

What documents were required? I would like to avoid multiple trips to the revenue office.

TIA
