Rates Of Income Tax As Employee

[itsala]

Hello

Please can somebody help me?

Just started working for a 5 star hotel, after 7 years self employed in Thailand. Started 2 and a half months ago.

First salary was untaxed as my work permit hadn't been processed.

This months salary I have had tax deductions in excess of 46%.!

I have a basic salry of 70k per month plus a guareenteed service charge of 30K.

Does this seem tax rate sseem excesive, I can't understand why I should pay tax for a month when I wasn't even working legally. Also as self employed I was paying only 7% on a salary of 50k, is there that big a jump in the tax thresholds?

Any help or advice would be Greatly appreciated, as thing stand if the tax rate of 25% per moth that they are telling me is true, I am better off going back to self employed again

Thanks in advance
