@Steve *******

that is no answer to my question, it is your choice you pay tax in Australia and not in Thailand

@Dany *******

Theoretically it is indeed possible, but practically only when building a new house.

Otherwise you have to split land and house, and not much sellers do want to do that.

@Steve *******

Why should you pay tax in Australia while you actually live in Thailand?

@Jeremy ****

that does not change the fact your maximum stay is 360 days, of course you can concatenate stays, but you have to leave the country.

That also shows it is just a tourist visa.

Anonieme deelnemer How can you be owner of a villa anyway? Foreigners can only buy a condo.

@Tom ****

and most likely all illegal.

The simple fact that things happen does not make it legal.

@Jeremy ****

Maximum stay DTV is 360 days.

@Steve *******

Some people might find it fair to pay taxes where they live.

Paying taxes in a home country where you don't live anymore feels unfair, you pay money for infrastructure you don't use, and don't pay for what you actually use.

Paying a fair share of what you use sounds more logical

@Steve *******

You talk about a DTA between Thailand and Australia, but the world is much bigger than only those two countries, other countries have different DTA's, so what you say about DTA is only relevant for your home country, and not the rest of the world.

@Steve *******

you obviously don't know that DTA can be complex and not always ine country gets everything.

They can agree to share, depending on type of income and also declare types of income taxable for both, then most times making the tax paid in one country deductable in the other, but your DTA might be very simple, but there are a lot more countries than Australia.

How do you live in Thailand for 25 years without a permanent home?
