Not required for Australian Tax Residents. Australia has SOLE taxation rights. Sole as in ONLY. Aussie tax residents are free from Thai tax

Yes I understand the UK DTA is a terrible one. Fortunately the Australian DTA is a beaut! I have retained Australian Tax Residency and as a result it takes precedence over Thai Tax Residency so Aussies are basically in the clear

@Michael ******
People who are shrewd enough to retain tax residency in their home country will not have remittances assessed in Thailand, as tax will only be payable in the home country. Tax credits are not relevant for these people

Very easy to retain Australian Tax Residency, which is why most Australians are laughing over the Thai tax fiasco. How much time you spend in other countries is not really relevant, just ensure you have access to a permanent home in Australia. If you want to get rid of Australian Tax Residency join the Australians group and talk with Michael Lucken

In theory Thai people own the national parks. They should be allowed free entry. I'm so thankful I can afford the 300 baht to get in. I feel sorry for those expats and tourists who can't afford 300 baht 😂😂😂

Only required to complete a tax return if you have assessable income

The problem is the tax professionals in Thailand are touting for business where business doesn't exist.

Only those silly enough to get a Tax ID number! I can't speak for other countries but the Australian DTA protects Australian Tax Residents from paying tax in Thailand on money already taxed.

There won't be a problem. The MFA are pushing this visa hard, they won't make life difficult for you!
