itâs about thinking critically not simply obeying because thatâs what the law states. Boy I wish I could be that gullible. Unfortunately Iâm not. And the news is the Thai government is already working at remitting that law as it has caused more confusion then compliance. Just a little research reveals that was not the intended outcome they were thinking and wanting as it was not clear enough. Therefor my good ol Petey unless you are transferring thousands upon thousands of dollars or recently bought a villa or condo or getting ample income through a Thai company. Itâs best to use your discretionary thinking and moral compass to decide to pay the taxes or not. Regardless the Thai government is working on fixing this grey area âlawâ and to all my digital nomads who are earning an income online through a western company and paying your living expenses. I wouldnât worry about this law.
it does help as itâs a clear indication that the government know they screwed up when they released that and are looking at revising it as they are losing loads of money from it.
exactly same here. That makes more sense to me. Doesnât make sense to live in Thailand as a remote worker for any given timeframe and not work for and get paid by any Thai company but expected to pay taxes because you stayed longer than 180 days??? This is clearly meant for those with businesses or ppl working for a Thai company getting paid by the Thai company.
itâs very relevant and not so general as you might think. Especially with all of the political changes and expectations. âYou may have a tax liabilityâ says it all
Reality is Iâve been staying in Thailand for over 5 years working remotely and have never paid Thailand taxes. I know plenty of people who do the same. Itâs more aimed at businesses than DTV holders or people working remotely.
