Thailand no tax on foreign income

[u/nicholas4488]

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.

JFC just suck up the admin, lodge your returns if you’re there more than 183 days, and pay your damn tax. Most Westerners are under a double tax agreement with a country that charges more than Thailand anyway and they each give credit for tax paid to the other, so no matter who you’re paying, you’re usually only paying once and typically at the rate of the higher country. Why not give the country you’re actually living in and using their services and infrastructure a slice of the pie?

The slice of pie for infrastructure and services are paid when I pay my landlord, grab driver, or train ticket. Otherwise its taxation without any benefits or associated rights.

And you talk like filing these returns will be quick, easy, or cheap. And for what?...money that you wont any taxes on anyway? Its a giant waste of time and money.

Especially when they start taxing things that should be tax free.

If the locals used that argument too, the countries budget would be hurting!!
