Thais are set to enjoy a tax-free advantage on foreign income

 

Why only say 'Thai' - does that mean the rest of us do have to pay ?

For those residing in Thailand for 180 days or more in a tax year, the Resident Rule applies, making them liable for income tax on international earnings. ThThis upcoming legislation aims to refine these rules, providing much-needed tax relief for many.

Yes, probably no discrimination on nationality.

Also, not an one off. 

This exemption would be effective as of Jan 1, 2025, and be valid through Dec 31, 2029.

Yeah, reading the text as usual seems to have different variations of meanings.  It says no taxes on foreign earned income for Thais then says for those stayin 180 days taxed on all income earned.  Just like all the other notices from the revenue dept, who really knows what the final outcome will be nor when it might appear.  My opinion anyways after reading so many of these notices of a possible tax change.

You must have been living under a rock, you're Farang so of course you need to pay.

Can someone tell me the difference between this article from Bangkok Post on 19 May 2025:

and this article from Bangkok Post on 5 August 2025:

apart from the obvious 3 month time lapse?

Yes, seems to be the same as the announcement in May. Sorry, my second link was a repeat of the first, so what is the substantive difference (apart from text, date etc) between:

Message is pretty much the same, seems like the process has come a bit further, and the mentioning of 2029 is new as far as I can see.

1)  so the government is now supporting 'dual pricing' in a roundabout way 

2) I can just imagine the amount of dirty money coming in via this 'washing' option 

3) taxation of ferrangs is still on the cards though
