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 UK DTV holder here. Am currently registered as a sole trader with HMRC and am in contact with a Thai accountant to help me with my Thai taxes as I have been in the country for over 180 days. I pay myself into my UK bank account (as I don’t have a Thai account as per DTV) so wondering what my tax liability is with UK, I was planning to tell HMRC that I have left the country on my next tax return but want to make sure that’s the right thing to do. My next port of call is of course contacting a UK accountant but wanted to see if anyone here has any insight first. Thanks

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.

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?

This might be good news and stop the worry.

If I stay for 90 days in Thailand, then fly out to Malaysia for a week, then I repeat the above process 1 more time in a year ,

, and I do this every year, do I still need to pay tax to Thailand ?

For those of us that will be in Thailand more than 180 days in a calendar year, what’s the process for getting a Tax Identification number and submitting a tax return ?

Can someone with proper knowledge of these things confirm that the cut off date to avoid Tax residence is 179 days per calendar year … thanks in advance

Im over 55 and looking to retire in Jomtiem. My only income will be my savings in Australia and not enough to be taxed in OZ.

My question is will savings be considered earnings and then be taxed in Thailand?

New tax rules for expats living in Thailand.

I'd like some correct advice regarding the new tax rules implemented from Jan 1st 2024.

I believe if you spend more than 180 days in any one year in Thailand, any money you have transferred or deposit into your Thai bank account is classed as taxable income.? Also, if you have a Thai bank account and transfer, or deposit monies into it, in any one year, but do NOT spend more than 179 days in Thailand, that money is not taxable. Also if you deposit monies into your account in a year that you don't spend more than 180 days in Thailand, but the next year you stay the full year, does the money that you deposited the previous year, then become taxable? I have read that if you have income of 150,000 baht a year, this is not taxable, but if you have say 400,000baht a year income, do you pay tax on all of it, or is 150,000 baht tax threshold and anything above that you pay tax on, for example 400,000 - 150,000 = 250,000, is that the amount you would be liable to pay tax on.

Any advice greatly appreciated.
