Is Qrops Income Subject To Thai Income Tax?


Recommended Posts

There is no Thai income tax due unless the income is remitted into Thailand in the year in which it is earned. The easiest and perfectly legit way to avoid this is to open an offshore account , say in Singapore, remit the income from the QROP into that account and then only remit "savings" from that account into Thailand when needed. If you are a Thai resident, should be possible to avoid tax altogether, hard to get more tax efficient than that!

Thanks WordChild, thats what I wanted to confirm.

I've got an HSBC Premier account over here in the UK. They said I will get a Thai one as well when I move. I presume I just need to get them to set one up in Singapore too?

Yes you can get a muli-currency premier a/c with HSBC Singapore, I dont think you can include baht, but the sing dollar and baht pretty much move in lock-step so you can hold sing dollar as a ( higher quality) baht proxy as a hedge against your expected Thai expenditure. I had a premier account with HSBC in Singapore and my experience was pretty good , but, i have since moved away from them as there are better banks with a better service offering available in Singapore.
