Thailand tax liability after moving?

[TPDH]

Hi

 

In my home country in Scandinavia, you are liable for capital gains tax for up to 10 years for assets (such as stocks) that you acquired while having been a tax resident there. Even if you move and become a tax resident of a new country. This is to prevent people from acquiring assets and then move to a tax haven and pay little to no taxes. 

 

My question is: Does Thailand have something similar? So, if I purchase for example US stocks while being a Thai tax resident, I then move and become a tax resident of another country, would I still be liable to pay future capital gains taxes on the stocks I acquired while having been a Thai tax resident? 

 

Thank you.

Many countries have this sort of liability eg the US has a 10 year rule for ex-pats leaving  (green card holders) and you have to file and pay taxes on income and capital gains (of course you get an off-set for any taxes paid where you reside). As far as I am aware, hardly any one ever files and pays. They think it is an unreasonable request and unless you plan to come back frequently to Thailand, I wouldn't bother. If they can't catch Boss the murderer, they are hardly going to put a red notice with Interpol for you, are they?
