March 17, 20251 yr I know most on here are older retirees...but for younger guys here still with parents back home... Would long-stay expats in Thailand be liable for inheritence tax from parents back home if living in Thailand over 180 dyas a year if no tax arose on the total assets received in their home country ? I mean in the UK for example - including property/cash and combined roll-over unused relief - with parent combined totals - its is £1 million tax-free to kids. £325k (Cash etc) /£175k (Property) x 2 parents = £1 million before tax comes in to the picture. It appears it is 5% IHT on total assets received for children who receive any inheritence in Thailand ? Is that correct ? If that is the case, it would be wise to clear out of Thailand under 179 days in a year with such inheritence events if you intend to stay long-term overseas ? It's a whole 2nd layer can of worms this Thai tax stuff now...getting ensnared in other taxes such as IHT.
March 17, 20251 yr Author It appears they have a threshold over which inheritence is taxed.. So just a tax on the ultra-rich. https://kellerhenson.com/inheritance-tax-thailand/#Key_Concepts_of_Thailand_Inheritance_Tax Exemptions: The first 100 million THB of inherited assets is exempt from tax for direct heirs, while the exemption is 50 million THB for other heirs.
