1/ PWC pdf document with full detail explaination. More complicated, probably need IQ > 100
2/ Official thai tax document from thai revenue departement. ( very easy to understand for everybody with IQ > 80 )
You are not taxed twice ... you are taxed at minimum of thai tax bracket. ( tax credit ) ( if the income is from dta country, otherwise yeah you are taxed twice. I already have a lot of income taxed twice...) it is logic to pay 5% income tax in a country B , and live a country A where tax is 50%, and pay only the 5% in country B it look logic for you? Haha 😅
you cannot give any official text who say "if tax paid elsewhere (with dta), there is not tax to pay in Thailand" ..
And yes you can you can find text like the DTA himself which is a contract binding 2 country... the goal is for people not taxed twice ... and not that some people live in a country with income ( maybe low taxed ) from the other country .. logic
if you become thai tax resident in 2027 ( and you are not currently ), you think they will tax you saving money from your income you had in 2025 ( when you remit it to thailand in
*********
while being thai tax resident ) ???
Thailand tax INCOME, not saving... they explicitly say in the text 2024 because it is easier to understand for people doing the 2024 tax report 😀
20k was earn in a year you are thai tax resident ? Yes it is income, taxable in Thailand ( if remitted ). When you are tax resident of a country, the country tax your national income and also your FOREIGN income. ( very few country don't do that )
The 20k was earn before ? It is saving, you can bring/remit it to thailand tax free ( as it is not new income )
"Only untaxed money brought into Thailand is subject to Thailand taxation" , you will never find a official text or law text stating something near this sentence.
