@Will ********

how so?

@Will ********

false. Just because you are tax resident does not mean you have to report income it just means you come under Thai tax jurisdiction. Reporting income is a completely separate matter for which you have to qualify. I agree with you that it’s important to understand the rules which is why I suggest you read sections 40, 41 and 56 of the Thai Revenue Code to understand what exactly are the reporting requirements and conditions.

@Jesper ******

no, income brought into Thailand is taxable ONLY if it is “assessable” under section 40 of the Revenue Code.

@Will ********

completely false.

@Bob *******

through your legally obligated self declaration.

@Pertti ************

VAT is 10% but currently at a temporary time limited reduced rate of 7%.

@Ryan ******

DTAs are in place to prevent double taxation.

@Robert *******

tax clearance certificates are irrelevant. Your statement stay 180 days or more you must declare your money is false. Please go read the Revenue Code.

@Ronald *****

you are conflating Thai customs requirements with Thai tax requirements.

@Peter **********

yep you have established a permanent abode in Thailand. The Oz DTA is not as generous or as onerous as many other DTAs. Have a good evening.
