There are a lot of questions regarding what and what is not liable for tax in Thailand. I stumbled across this document from the revenue department which discusses the rule appertaining to funds where income was earned prior to 2024

Hi, does anybody know how and where to obtain a Thai Tax Id.

Shocking news for declaration from 2025 and forward. For all who declare foreign income and wish to deduct their foreign tax from the Thai tax according to DTA. Now legalized documents are mandatory as per Revenue service DTA subdivision from 14.01.2026 sent out to all local tax offices!!!

Not directly VISA but maybe someone knows the answer - How do you pay taxes in Thailand? 🤔

As a digital nomad, I would prefer to pay my taxes in Thailand, rather then Europe 👌🏼 But how do you actually do that? I’ve been asking people I know for a few weeks now and everyone is just laughing 😂🤷🏼‍♂️ But I actually want to do it 🙏🏼

Is there like an online system that the taxes go through or do I need to walk with cash to some person? 😂🤨

ANY information will be appreciated 🙏🏼

Hello,

Has anyone found a way to pay their taxes in Thailand when their bank account has been closed due to DTV?

For anyone who responds, there's no need. That's because you come from a country with low tax rates and they don't ask for proof.

I spoke to the tax authorities about it, and even they don't know how to justify bringing money into Thailand without a Thai bank account. I already have my tax ID.

Ideally, I would like to avoid changing my visa.

Hi there,

A tax question. Does the TDV allow you to request a tax ID number? I would think so, but would like to be sure. Also, what kind of rental contract is needed to request this tax ID? Is a 6-month contract enough?

I went to Thai Revenue department (Chalong) earlier with all the correct paperwork and they told me I couldn't get a TIN taxpayer number until after the tax year has ended. Is this normal? (doesn't sound like a smart way of doing things)

Edit: Sounds like it's just another case of ineptitude and I wont be able to sort this out at the office. Does anyone know an agent that will get me a TIN now for a decent price?

Edit 2: Went again armed with a wall of pre translated text from my accountant everything everything, and despite this I had to spend a whole hour repeatedly schooling them on the law, accounting and the revenue code, with them accepting my arguments each time and then changing the subject and perpetually and erroneously inventing new things I'd need to get the TIN, and after an hour of debunking and debating with 4 staff they just went right back to the start as if we hadn't spoken yet, and at that point I had to just throw in the towel because it was obvious that we weren't going to get anywhere. The principal lady that dealt with me was incredibly smug and rude and childish, and it was very obvious that she simply didn't want me to succeed.. the problem wasn't my paperwork, logic or position; it was her/what she represented. Politeness got me nowhere.

Anyone with DTV have to pay taxes yet?

just left the local revenue office.

here's what they asked

1. Any income from Thailand? No

2. Any monthly pension? No

3. Is the money coming in from savings on income before 1 January 2024? Yes

I showed them a print out of my ATM withdrawals and my WISE transfers.

No need to file or pay tax in Thailand due to transferred funds and ATM withdrawals coming from existing savings.

Hi! If we decide to extend our DTV visa (the extra 180 days) and therefore become liable to paying tax, what’s the tax rate? And is the process to pay to go to immigration, or somewhere else?
