Carl Turner?? Jesus wept! The biggest shyster on the internet. Touting for business and spreading total bs

Anonymous participant 146 John Stanners is mostly correct, however a non-resident as determined by the DTA is not required to file a tax return. And as Tod has said, there's not one person going to jail! That's a ROFL comment. Next you'll be saying they'll have their visas cancelled!

@John *********

The DTA can determine tax residency. If the DTA determines a person is NOT a Thai Tax Resident, there is no requirement for that person to file a tax return in Thailand unless they are generating income inside Thailand

@Pete ******

The DTA also allows for an habitual abode in two countries. You need to read Article 4. "Up to" is not a defined amount. It takes only 180 days per calendar year to be deemed a Thai Tax Resident, but retaining tax residency in another country brings the DTA tie-break into the equation. Every situation is different. The tie-break can go down to actual citizenship

Anonymous participant 146 Totally wrong. I'm referring to Article 4 which determines tax residency. If a person has dual tax residency the DTA determines which taxing authority has sole taxation rights. You need to read it.

@Sefton *******

It's totally legal. Article 4 of the relevant DTA covers it. There's a tie break formula to determine sole taxation rights. The DTA is covered under the Tax Code

Just retain tax residency in your home country and a permanent address, pay your taxes there and you won't even have to submit a return in Thailand
