  1. A little proactive thinking when making new Cannabis laws would have helped to avoid the issue Thailand has now with Cannabis .

    My personal opinion   ,  at this point of things , let the market regulate it self . A lot of shops will close anyway . A few professionals will stay open and business as usual.

    Alcohol,  Junk Food , Tobacco , various synthetic drugs , are far worst drugs to take care about than Cannabis .

  2. Only income brought to Thailand is Taxable . ( No worldwide taxation as far as this is an amendment of an old law ) .

    Patrimony exsisten before End of December 2023 are considered Savings and when imported are exempted of taxes .

    This is what I got to understand till today . Any one has a Worldwide Tazation information ?

    If you need to pay certain sums better do it direct from overseas .

    Use Overseas Credit card to pay expenses in Thailand .

    This should limit the transfer of cash to Thailand to minimum and related taxes to a reasonable ammount .

    Please correct me if wrong ?

  3. By May 2024 Thailand will join the CRS & Automatic Exchange of Information .

    With that coming they will have control over those who declare their residence in Thailand ( individuals or beneficiaries ) as overseas banks will have to communicate to Thai Fiscal authorities accounts , names n balances .

    With that the opportunity to tax residents is quite appealing ...

    This has been coming for a while and is not a recently conceived idea. Abit of history of linked events I am aware off: The auto no tax on non resident income option deleted a couple of years ago, no problem rely on the bring it in next year option. Anyone with an address in Thailand on their Paypal account has to reregister with a Thai Id number, this was apparently a way that Thai overseas workers were sending money home in the same year and bypassing the Thai tax, Anyone spending more than 180 days in Thailand is considered a tax resident of Thailand in Jan this year. About May this year Thailand joins CRS which is a multinational scheme to share tax and income details across borders. Last week the final nail in the tax free coffin the removal of the bring it in next year option, so now all the pieces are in place to levy tax on overseas income.

    The interesting part is I have seen it referred to as a tax on income and a tax on income remitted to Thailand, the second version came out as a clarification a few days after the first, so hopefully this the the more accurate version. But lots of questions all on overseas transactions, such as how are capital gains treated? Income previously earned, retrospective tax. Share dividends?

    So I am following closely to optimise this year to minimise in future, but clarifications are sparse.

    There is always the option when travelling to Thailand to bring in up to USD20,000 in cash without the need to declare it, 2 x overseas trips a year is doable when flight prices decrease. Can also bring in 500k Baht from bounded countries, Bank account in Malaysia?

    Cheers

    With the AEOI - CRS ( automatic exchange of information banks to country  ) if you are registered  at your bank as a Thai resident  than the Thai fiscal authorities will know your bank statements end of the year .

    If you reside  more than 180 days in Thailand I assume you will enter in the taxable regime. 

    Till now if it was savings it was not taxed .

    Will have to understand  what they want to tax and what % ....
