income tax info?

[cpbkk]

Good morning, I would be grateful if anyone could guide me to some good online resources for paying income taxes in Thailand as a US expat.  Generally speaking, the info I am finding online -- including tax forms -- is not for the current tax year and most of it is in Thai.  

 

Thank you

All the forms you need will be posted to this government page, but they have not yet posted the PND 91 forms for this year yet.

Consider Turbo Tax...they have all the updated forms...guide you through each step of the process...and restart process at any time...can file taxes electronically...check for errors...and keep a record  of your completed taxes...

 

Have used them for years...good move on my part from using overpaid accountant.

Agree with Puchaiyank.   Used Turbo Tax yesterday, start to finish, filed electronically, and received notification accepted by IRS; all within a few hours.

Thai taxes.

There seems to be confusion here. Do you want to know about paying Thailand income taxes or paying U.S. income taxes while living in Thailand? If you are a U.S. citizen, you will need to report both if you have Thailand income.

Yes, I am looking for help with Thailand.  I've got US covered and will use TurboTax for that.  But the procedure for filing in Thailand has been elusive.  There is good advice on legal websites, but when it comes to actually filing, there's not a lot of info in English, nor the current forms.  In the end, I will probably use a service, but I am interested in knowing what the process entails.  Maybe I can save a few hundred dollars and do it myself.

1. Contact the Thailand Revenue Department (Google is your friend). Most of the website is in Thai, but this link is in English and has lots of information.

2. Get yourself a Tax I.D. number (I am sure the website can help you here).

3. E-filing can be done. Website says they have e-filing in English. The Thailand forms are so simple, you do not need to pay anyone. My company does my returns and the person doing it is a 23 yr old secretary. If you need help, call the revenue department.

If you are not working here then you probably don't need to do anything.

 

If you do want to do it, you can go to the tax office and they can help fill out the forms for you.
