@Romain ***
Same advice to you. Nothing will "happen" to me, as I have zero assessable income coming into Thailand and the tax office makes that pretty clear

@John *********
Not only Australia, many countries have DTAs with Thailand. Simply retain tax residency in your home country
Steve ********
@John *********
Not if a DTA exists. Do the research please!

@John *********
Exactly! "Assessable Income" being the key words! 👍👍

@Romain ***
Official source states if a person has a tax liability, so if they don't, there's no reason to apply for a Tax ID. But you can if you want to. Many prefer to stay under the radar

@John *********
If you retain dual tax residency you can use the DTA loophole to avoid taxation in Thailand. No assessable income means no tax ID required
Steve ********
@Romain ***
Wrong. You only need a tax ID if you have assessable income. Unless you're working in Thailand or you come from a country which does not have a DTA with Thailand.

@Pierre *******
Very much mistaken. You register if you have assessable income to declare, which has not been taxed elsewhere
