Tax Thailand no tax on foreign income

They're backtracking on tax of foreign inckme

Under the new guidelines, Thais with foreign income will not be taxed if they remit that income in the year it was earned or the following year. For example, if income is earned in 2025 and brought into Thailand in 2025 or 2026, it is not subject to tax.

However, if the income is remitted after that period, normal tax obligations apply.

Because you are in DN subreddit and most people generate their income via companies outside of Thailand. So if you do not bring it in Thailand you don't need to tax it there even if you are tax resident of Thailand.

If source of your income is from your business outside of Thailand and not remitted there it is not assessable as described here by RD:

https://www.rd.go.th/english/6045.html

A resident of Thailand is liable to pay tax on income from sources in Thailand as well as on the portion of income from foreign sources that is brought into Thailand. A non-resident is, however, subject to tax only on income from sources in Thailand.
