so thailand is taxing now all worldwide income and is forcing everybody to file tax return!

why in hell would anybody keep staying in thailand and not moving away e.g. to philipined where its still 100% taxfree and you dont need to file any tax return and you dont even have a tax number

I dont understand that why I would to to thailand now  or would stay in thailand after that desaster!

No they are not. 

The current DG of the TRD suggested that they are looking at it which is a long way from implementation.......

No they are not, there is no change.

That must be a new country, however it may be as disgustingly polluted as the Philippines, a country that exports the vast majority of its highly educated workers.

Thailand has not reported approval of the worldwide income taxation scheme yet!  We are only in the first phase of remittances taxed maybe!

if coming to  Thailand, and don't want to be taxed on income then stay in the country no more than 179 days as in that case you would not be a tax resident in Thailand.

I'd like to propose a change based on new PwC guidance that is also in line with Baker McKenzie's earlier information. Tax residency in the year of remittance is irrelevant, it's the earning year that counts.

 

From:
80) Income that was earned and remitted in a year when a person was a Thai tax resident is assessable under Thai tax rules. There is now a growing body of opinion from TRD sources to suggest that overseas income earned whilst Thai tax resident but remitted to Thailand whilst not, is free of Thai tax but this remains uncertain. Some care should be exercised before considering this option, readers may wish to obtain professional tax advice to confirm this point, before using this approach. 

 

To:
80) Income that was earned when a person was a Thai tax resident (in 2024 or later) is assessable under Thai tax rules regardless of tax residency status in the year of remittance. Overseas income that was earned when a person was not a Thai tax resident will likely not be assessable even when remitted later while they are a tax resident. Some care should be exercised before considering this option: readers may wish to obtain professional tax advice to confirm this point before using this approach.
