Question regarding taxes:

I'm a US citizen and work remotely. My work is not stable, I pick up different contracts throughout the year.

I arrived to Thailand on a DTV late October 2024. I plan to stay though Songkran and extend for an additional 6 months. That puts me at more than 180 days for calendar year 2025. What are my tax obligations? Do I need to pay Thailand & US taxes?

I traveled for over 10 months internationally 2024 but didn't stay in one place for more than 180 day so I'm assuming it's ok for this year.

TIA!

Hi, the question is about taxes incoming from DTV visa.

If a DTV holder stays in Thailand for more than 180 days per year he is subject to taxes.

Questions:

1) What are the taxes in % and where/whom should I pay that? How to make it official?

2) If I leave before 180 days and come back again in 1 month will I still need to pay taxes or the period will reset back to zero days of standing?

3) What if I receive salary in Crypto?

Thanks!

Hi I am an American, and was thinking of applying for the DTV. My intention is to live in Thailand long term (the full 5 years offered by the DTV) so I am also wondering about taxes. If I live more than 6 months in a place, I assume I am to pay taxes. And if this is not law in Thailand, it might be soon.

So I'd like to know what I can expect with in regards to taxes (tax rates) as a Freelancer with clients in the US. I will obviously have to file in the US as well. Wondering what the double taxation treaty between Thailand and USA is like. Where is it good to go for tax advice? Any general tips, resources, advice?

After reading the Tax Treaty between the US and Thailand, it specifically states that social security income and govt pensions can only be taxed by the US unless you become a resident AND a Thai national. A tax resident who lives in Thailand greater than 180 days is not a Thai National. See Article 20 and 21.

Thailand Taxes.

It is my understanding that anyone who stays in Thailand a total 180 day (could be multiple times) during the tax year and brings money to Thailand or puts money into at Thai Bank must get a tax ID and file at Thailand tax return.

If your country has a double tax agreement with Thailand you can get a tax exemption.

Does anyone have any idea how the tax exemption will work and what documents you will need to provide?

Will Thailand charge you a tax if they don't think you paid enough tax on the money you brought into Thailand?

Some money in the US are tax exempt so how will the Thai government decide whether the money I brought into Thailand was taxed or not?

We call the Thailand Revenue Department and we're not able to get any answers.

I'm not willing to provide Thailand all my financial information. At transcript of my US tax return is all I would be willing to provide.
