Can someone explain to me how I can be a resident in Thailand for tax purposes (180 days+) and classified as a tourist on my visa?

Since TAX and DTV keep coming up and we keep seeing headlines that thai authorities want to get stricter with enforcing the tax

.....Are there any countries currently which successfully enforce tax on money brought into their country (and how do they do it?)?

....Will the thai tax authorities go straight to Thai banks (if you have one) and request they share information on how much money is being brought in?

....With people without a thai bank it seem almost impossible for them to enforce tax on remittance income

....I'm probably gonna go back to working in thailand because I don't suddenly want to be lumped with a 200,000 k baht tax bill etc...

Hi, I have a DTV visa and I work for a French company from Thailand. I no longer pay taxes in France, but I'm wondering how things work for taxes in Thailand? Do I have to declare the amounts I import? Or my entire salary? Thank you.

Hi everyone, I am British and have lived in Thailand working remotely for many years already. I am back in the UK now and was getting ready to apply for the DTV visa from London but have recently read in here how they are requesting tax statements / returns. I don't pay tax so I would not be able o show that info - I don't make the threshold in the UK - I do have tax returns to prove this. My question is, would it be best for me to apply for the soft power instead of the workation to avoid any tax issues / would I need to actually be paying tax for this to be accepted?

Hi,

A question about taxation -

We got the dtv visa a few months ago and been in Thailand ever since.

We also stayed in Thailand on a visa exemption a few months earlier this year.

So, by the end of the year we will exceed 180 days of stay in Thailand.

Will we have any tax duties?

Thank you

Hi All ,

Are there anybody who knows about this ?

According to the law, anyone who stays in Thailand for over 180 days out of a calendar year will be considered a tax resident by the Thai government. You will be liable to pay Thai taxes on your foreign income if you are a tax resident, even if you hold a Destination Thailand Visa.
