qwer Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 Hi, How much do I have to pay in taxes when I sell a domain name to a foreign company? There is no work included. I just own a domain name that a company wants to buy from me. The price is 2,5M Baht. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maestro Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 Do you live in Sweden? If so, I suggest that you ask the Swedish tax office. If you live in Thailand, I suggest that you instruct the buyer to remit the purchase price to a Bank account of yours outside Thailand, then remit to your account in Thailand only what you need from time to time. No tax payable in Thailand. -- Maestro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwer Posted September 9, 2007 Author Share Posted September 9, 2007 I work in Thailand. I'm on vacation now If I do what you said I still have to pay swedish tax. I have to pay tax for all money that comes in to my swedish account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sateev Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 Note the words "...Bank account of yours outside Thailand." No where does it say "in Sweden". Go to Singapore, or Hong Kong, open a savings account. Get an ATM card. Have the money deposited there, and Robert is your Dad's brother.

kong707 Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 What is the name of your domain name ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwer Posted September 11, 2007 Author Share Posted September 11, 2007 Ok, is it easy to open up a savings account in singapore or HK? Does it not require a work permit in the country you are opening up the account in? At least it does in Thailand.. Note the words "...Bank account of yours outside Thailand." No where does it say "in Sweden".Go to Singapore, or Hong Kong, open a savings account. Get an ATM card. Have the money deposited there, and Robert is your Dad's brother.

qwer Posted September 15, 2007 Author Share Posted September 15, 2007 Well offshore accounts is one solution. Does anybody know if I actually have to pay taxes when I sell a domain? There is no work included. I already have an account at Bangkok Bank and Ayudhaya. If they sent the money to those accounts I have to pay taxes, don't I? What banks does not require WPs?

tjo o tjim Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 In the US, it would be considered a capital gain or business profit depending on how you accounted for it. That said, the only time I ever bought a domain name, we just used an escrow service, so no easy way to trace the money for the tax man... but 2.5M B is a pretty good chunk of change. Offshore account is your easiest bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
