hey dudes,

quick one for you.

superb

I assume you mean how much tax you have to pay?

You have to calculate on a yearly base...

120,000 Baht/month equals 1,440,000 Baht/year.

You are allowed a deduction 60,000 Baht and an allowance of 30,000 Baht.

Leaves 1,350,000 Baht.

0 to 150,000 at 0%

150,001 to 500,000 Baht taxed at 10% (350,000 at 10% is 35,000 Baht)

500,001 to 1,000,000 Baht taxed at 20% (500,000 at 20% is 100,000 Baht)

1,000,001 to 4,000,000 Baht taxed at 30% (350,000 at 30% is 105,000 Baht)

So your total tax to be paid is 240,000 Baht/year, or exactly 20,000 Baht/month. Which works out to just under 17%.

There are further allowances for being married, taking care of parent(s), having children etc...

You can also deduct life insurance, or you can invest in long term equity funds (obviously only viable if you are here for the long term)to bring your overall tax liability down...

That's a great answer, you can also read the Revenue Department's website for a full list of allowances;

Once you complete your PIT form and submit it with evidence, you'll recieve a cheque for the refund of excess tax paid, if any, based on any allowances you qualify for.
