Do you have to pay taxes in Thailand if you have 2 million baht in a bank account?

Pete *******

On 2 million baht at the current Bangkok Bank savings account interest rate you would be taxed 750 baht per year. Hardly worth getting excited about.

The amount you have in your Thai bank account is irrelevant. You will pay withholding tax on any interest paid on your account at the prevailing rate, currently 15%.

suggest you read the gift section of the Revenue Code for more details but you can gift to people who are not immediate family members up to 10 million per year. Go to the Revenue Department website and look up gifting.

How difficult is it to apply for a Retirement Visa in Thailand, and can I do it on my own?

instead of wasting money on agent fees some prefer to make their money work for them by investing in passive income streams. They relax while their money works.

you as the gifter cannot benefit from the gift in the year that the gift was made. You can prove this by showing the wife’s bank account as of 31st Dec with the money there untouched. From the 1st Jan, beginning of the new tax year the funds are free to be used as wished.
