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

I run a limited company and pay myself a salary of £1,000 per month, with an annual dividend top-up of around £20,000. My total income on my tax return comes to approximately £32,000 per year.

I recently moved 500,000 THB from the company account into my personal account. I usually invest my funds personally (e.g. in stocks), and I generally keep a personal balance of around £3,000–£4,000. This time, I deposited the 500,000 THB directly into my personal account.

Will my salary and dividend structure be sufficient for DTV Workcation Visa? What’s the lowest amount of income has someone been accepted with?

So I was told you are only a tax resident in Thailand if you stay more than 180 days and have a Thai Bank account

Hi, anyone knows if working online in Thailand triggers personal income tax? Anyone has any experience or knowledge about it?

Hey social media influencers on DTV:

Director-General Pinsai Suraswadi of the Thai Revenue Department has made it clear:

🔹 Social media influencers and online business owners must file income tax documents by the end of this month.

🔹 Failure to report income can result in severe penalties—including back taxes, interest, and fines that can increase your liability by up to 5x!

🔹 The Thai government is tracking digital footprints, making it easier than ever to detect unreported earnings.

🔹 The Revenue Department has the power to audit records going back 5 years—and the penalties include both civil and criminal consequences.

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.

Does anyone know of a site where I can read about the pros and cons of DTV, please? Looks like we have to pay taxes in Thailand as well as my home country?

Thank you so much!

Hi, I'm from the UK and planning retirement in Thailand. To avoid initial tax liabilities on my income, i plan to stay less than 180 days this calendar year.

How many non O visa's can i apply for? Plan is to go for 3 months from March and then another 3 months from October. Can i apply for 2 non O visa's in that time frame? Thanks.

Hi,

Can anyone tell me what percentage of tax I need to pay while staying on a DTV visa? Is that percentage fixed for all DTV holders, or does it vary?

The Double Taxation Topic - UK National

My business is registered in the UK, with my salary and taxes both paid in the UK.

I will remain more than 180 days per year in Thailand under DTV Visa.

Will I need to pay double Tax in both UK and Thailand?

Looking for simple straight forward answer, if it possible.

I have searched the group posts, but have not yet seen a clear answer to this question.
