17% Personal Income Tax (PIT) for High Skilled Pro (HSP)

 

Decree 743/2022 says 17% PIT on “assessable” income

https://ltr.boi.go.th/documents/Royal-Decree-743.pdf
 

In turn, generally progressive tax rates applicable to “taxable” income.

”Taxable” income = “Assessable” income - deductions - allowances (such as eligible insurance premium, Retirement Mutual Fund and Provident Fund)

Wondering if anyone knows 17% PIT for HSP on “assessable” or “taxable” income. Many thanks! 

I find 17% PIT for HSP is on “assessable (read: gross)” income, with neither deduction nor allowances such as Provident Fund and Retirement Mutual Fund.

So it’s not simply comparable with progressive tax rate which is based on “taxable (read: net)” income.

Next time, bring the form with you, so you can read what it actually says or post a scan here.
 
I sincerely doubt they were setting you up with a brokerage account and placing your money in stocks, more likely the questionnaire contained some standard/mandated boilerplate.

Mai loo muang khan - I don't know either.

Often from those who are supposed to know or at least supposed to pretend to know. Such as airline counter, hotel reception, restaurant table, regarding their own service or product availability.
