In which case you would already know how assessable income is determined, and how the residency criteria works

@Axel ******

Refer to the Double Tax Agreement. I can speak only for Australia as every DTA may be different

@Von **********

Correct! Very clear and written in plain English! 👍👍

@Axel ******

If a person has no assessable income, there is no requirement to submit a tax return. I'm in that situation, although my position again is somewhat different. Although I'm in Thailand for more than 180 days, I am a certified Australian Tax Resident, and under the terms of the DTA, this takes precedence over Thai Tax Residency, and hence I am deemed solely an Australian Tax Resident, hence I am not required to submit a tax return. This has already been confirmed by Thailand Revenue Office. But again, I emphasise that every individual is different and there is no "one size fits all" process

@John ********

ATM withdrawals and credit card expenditure are both potentially tax assessable as they are classified as "remittances". However, there is no hard and fast rule as every individual has a different financial situation and each country a different DTA

@Axel ******

Actually he's essentially correct, although it's difficult to be totally precise because every person is in a different situation. However, the very basic rule is tax is only liable on assessable income

@Pete ******

Aussies get six months

You're dead right. You really are missing something! You won't be taxed a single baht

@Ja***

Try telling that to a bank! The applicant shows an entry stamp for 180 days
