For your property in France and the capital again it has nothing to do with Britain unless you are a resident there. You will incur a capital gain in France according to French law. If you are resident in Thailand you will incur a capital gain in Thailand according to Thai law. In Thailand you can deduct the tax you paid in France from the tax that is due in Thailand. You will need to read the rules very carefully as to how Thailand calculates capital gains. I suspect tax is due on the difference between the buying and selling price without any offsets. If you are going down that route I suggest you discuss it with a Thai CPA. I have a similar issue when I sell my House in America next year, I will dodge the issue completely by not being in Thailand for 180 day next year, instead I will be in Philippines which does not tax foreigners on overseas capital gains.

I should have said you will pay capital gains tax in Thailand minus the capital gains tax you pay in France.

💩As i have said before to you, in most cases you get a transferable tax credit for tax paid at source for tax already paid.

holding a DTV or other visa does not exemp you from tax on its own. You will need to read the DTA for the country where you will remit funds from. Only the LTR will give tax free status. It's intended for the wealthy. Enjoy:

Lee, you cannot severe links with UK, you are a citizen, if you severed links, you would be a stateless person and that's not permitted under international law. You can give up residency only. There is a proposal, I think it will happen, to tax residents in Thailand on their global income. So if you sell that house in France and you are resident in Thailand with a DTV or other visa, you will pay capital gains tax on the profit from the sale. Many people who are apply for the DTV will become first time expats and have no experience of international tax, for some I am sure, this will end in tears.

DTA does not work that way. In general, you get a tax credit which can be offset against any Thai income tax. Your residency in another country is a matter for that country. You do not have to severe connect with your home country or any other country for that matter to change your tax status anywhere, tax is based on residency. Your post is uttery 💩. I notice you are uk citizen. perhaps this vid will enlighten you, but there again probably not, you are so so off the facts.

Anyone who is resident 180 days or more is liable to pay Thai income tax, there are no exceptions. The DTV is not issued by the tourist dept.

There is current no checks made on tax status for any visa renewal. Anyone, regardless of visa class is required to complete tax returns in Thailand if they are resident for 180 days or more. DTV and every visa class is included, no exceptions. you also need to complete pnd91 and 90 end of year returns and pay tax due.
