Does a Non-Thai pay tax on winning the JackPot?

[SteveK]

I thought the tax on a foreigner winning the Thai lottery was 100%?

Everyone does. I can't remember exact details but it's around 4%

Give the ticket to a friend to recovery the lucre. Pay them a percentage. Tick in every box.

If you have won 6 million it does not matter too much, but yes, tax is payable by all.

Not desperate enough, what about the buffalo ?

It was always my understanding that we are not allowed to win any money albeit we can freely buy the tickets.

Or maybe this was another money saving excuse I told the missus all those years ago, so she would never ask

You can claim a win you just have to pay the tax before you collect.

Tax is 0.5% on government lottery, 1% on charity lottery
