@Tim *****

go read the actual tax law rather then making yourself sound rather silly with your false statements.

@Tim *****

let’s just take a quick look at those statements of yours.

1) 180 days = tax resident, yep if in a calendar year.

2) Tax residents must declare taxable income. False, only assessable income above minimum thresholds is declarable.

3) Foreign sourced income that is remitted in the same year that it was earned. False, foreign sourced income if earned in a year you were tax resident would still be taxable if remitted in future years.

4) Tax residents must file a personal income tax return. False. Tax residents who have a tax liability must file. No liability = no filing requirement.

Just copy and pasting without actually understanding the tax law isn’t doing you any favors. I will repeat you can live perfectly legally in Thailand without being required to get a TIN and without having to file a tax return. You obviously didn’t read the actual tax law I so helpfully referenced earlier.

@Tim *****

all totally incorrect. Go read the Thai Revenue Code sections 40,41 and 56. Don’t just take my word for it, go read the actual tax law.

@Tim *****

I think for myself and live quite legally in Thailand and have done for many years without a Thai tax liability or a TIN requirement or a tax filing requirement.

@Tim *****

correct, only if you abide by the tax law and declare it on your tax return.

@Jeremy *******

now you’ve gone off on a tangent and lost me, I thought we were talking about does Thailand tax unremitted income.

@Jeremy *******

if you are required to file a tax return then the legal onus is on you to self declare your remittances. The Revenue Department expect truthful returns. Make of that what you will.

@Jeremy *******

doesn’t matter where you put it, it would still be classed as a remittance that may be subject to tax.

@Tim *****

carrying money in is remitting and may be assessable for tax.
