DULEROY

That is the reality 😆

😆

It's surprising that people think the TAT is the tourism authority; it isn't; it's a promotional agency under the authority of the Ministry of Tourism and Sports of Thailand (MOT). If you want to know, consult their website rather than ASEAN. You'll get the correct information, which also contradicts what the TAT says or is supposed to say, especially the monthly report issued by the Economic Division, which is here for May 2025. Look at the figures, which are clearly on the decline!!!

For experts in all matters, the TAT is not the Tourism Authority but only a tourism promotion agency without any ministerial or administrative power... As for international tourism arrivals, the report provided by the Tourism Authority, the Ministry of Tourism and Sports of Thailand (MOT), through its economic division, please carefully observe the figures from January to May 2025. I also advise people who talk a lot on the subject without ever producing any documents to consult the Thai National Tourism reports, as there are some surprises.

For experts in all things😅 https://www.rd.go.th/553.html Types of Taxable Income https://www.rd.go.th/553.html Because employees have different occupations, there are different levels of difficulty or cost. For the sake of fairness, the law divides the characteristics of income (to be assessed) into groups. Depending on the case, to determine the fairest possible tax calculation, here's how to calculate taxes: 1. Type 1 income includes employment income, such as : - Salary, wages, compensation, bonuses, allowances, retirement benefits, pensions- Housing rent received from employers - Money calculated based on the value of living in a house - Money the employer leaves in place without paying rent - Money the employer uses to repay debts the employee is obligated to pay - Money, property, or any benefits derived from employment, such as the value of food, etc.

FARANG NOT WANT TO PAY EITHER SIDE ....😅 Thailand has finalized its policy of taxing the imported income of expatriates abroadThailand concludes policy on collecting income tax on foreign imports The policy on collecting income tax on foreign imports in Thailand has undergone significant changes from 2024 onwards, focusing on new criteria for collecting tax on foreign income, as follows: New rules for foreign income Residence Principle : A person who resides in Thailand for more than 180 days in the same calendar year (tax year) and brings income from abroad into Thailand must file tax with the Thai Revenue Department. Repealing the old criteria : This new criteria repeals the old criteria that have been used for almost 37 years, which used to specify that income from abroad imported in a different tax year from the year in which the income was received was exempt from having to file taxes again. 3 8 Exception case : If the taxpayer is in Thailand for less than 180 days in the tax year in which the income from abroad is brought in, he/she will still be exempt from having to submit such money for tax filing in Thailand. Enforcement This new criterion will be effective from 1 January 2024 onwards and will apply to foreign income brought into Thailand in that year. Taxable income Taxable foreign income includes wages from work performed abroad, profits from the sale of foreign property, dividends from foreign stock, foreign interest, and foreign royalties. Protection under double tax conventions Taxpayers may be protected under double tax treaties if Thailand has agreements with governments of certain countries that allow taxpayers to bring income from abroad into Thailand without having to file taxes again. The change aims to modernize the tax system and bring it in line with international standards, with an emphasis on taxation based on residence instead of the source of income principle that has been used in the past

It's not time yet The Thai Revenue Department is amending the tax law to tax worldwide income, not imported income.

Farang very intelligent, better to know Thai law and especially not to want to pay!! 😅 https://www.rd.go.th/fileadmin/user_upload/lorkhor/newspr/2024/FOREIGNERS_PAY_TAX2024.pdf Thailand’s Double Tax Treaties: Download Any Thailand DTA ARTICLE 23 Elimination of double taxation March 19, 2024 FOREIGN TAX RELIEF กรมสรรพากร THE REVENUE DETENT Income tax paid abroad can be credited against Thai taxes if permitted under Double Tax Agreement (DTA). So, there will be no double taxation for residents of Thailand. • When a foreigner who is a resident of Thailand pays tax on income abroad, tax paid can be taken as a credit against the tax payable in Thailand. • Credit amount cannot exceed the amount of Thailand's tax liable to the foreign-sourced income. Remarks: Documents and evidence may be required in order to prove sources of income and to claim foreign tax credit under Double Taxation Agreement. • Documents must be in English or Thai. • For the evidence to claim foreign tax credit, Tax Payment Certificate issued by foreign tax authority is recommended.
