but if you love thailand, better not care too much about contribute a bit more by paying tax due, maybe more attention should be turned towards air pollution, pm 2.5, smog …

seems even bangkok not immune to it, not only the northern part like CM

every country has its own

rule,so far it seems the

philippines is most friendly and

much less restrictive, nothing

like 90 day or TM30, for retirees, same for malaysia

guess the critical issue is the onus of proof, will you be required and able to explain satisfactorily which part of income you sent is not taxable, as you may mix up all income, or your aggregate income come from different sources, some taxable, some not. Some think about using loophole, guess these loophole if any will be known and closed or tackled very soon

some one interpret as below:

those people

from countries which have

a double tax agreement

with Thailand could still need to pay new

tax in Thailand,

double tax means that you

will receive tax credit for

taxes paid outside of

Thailand. So, if you are

assed as having to pay

usd200 in USA and usd300

in Thailand, In Thailand you

would pay 300-200=100

dollars in Thailand.

anyway the risk is that one still likely to fill a tax report form with income and asset and let authority decide which is taxable and which be exempt. Filling the form could be a tedious process, depending on how it is designed, and whether there is english translation, or chinese? if not, hopefully no.need to seek professional help. And how can one prove whether the remitted income already taxed in other jurisdiction?(for example you have multiple income sources, and some sources already taxed but some exempted due to different tax law in another country )

does double tax exemption imply blanket tax exemption without need for exemption on an item by item basis (income source item/category) or need comparison of individual category, eg investment income, rental collected or simply pensions

@Tania *****

i think it depends on how thrifty you are, but stay 180day qualify you as tax resident in thailand

@Peter *********

guess you better ask a thai professional

can'T understand why you posted up a june 2020 newspaper artickle?

ATM debit does not involve cost? and maximum limit? and who wants to live just a minimum basic or thrifty life here in thailand?

as with many countries, burden of proof is on the tax payer who fill and file the tax form?
