If funds remitted to Thailand were taxable, the first thing the government would do is mandate that the bank withhold the tax from the remittance and put the onus on the recipient to show that it is not taxable. 

 

 

 Other countries such as the UK don't do that though

Are funds remitted to the UK taxable? I think not. 

[Millian]

Sounds like they are

What does it say?

Or how about the horses mouth?

"Residents normally pay UK tax on all their income, whether it’s from the UK or abroad. But there are special rules for UK residents whose permanent home (‘domicile’) is abroad."

Which means nothing. Do you understand what remittances are? 

[Millian]

Yes when you send money.

Sort of. Is that money taxed? 

[Millian]

Depends where you have sent it to and from?

 

You may have already paid tax on it, you may be liable to pay tax on it.

But is not taxed just because it is a remittance. 

[Millian]

No.

 

And that seems to go against your suggestion they would just tax it all remittances in thailand.

 

It's the same in thailand as other counties, some remittances are liable for tax, others are not.
