Dear All,

How do I go about purchasing shares on the SET for investment purpose?

Will the dividends be taxed as well as my fixed deposits interests?

Assuming that you are neiher a Thai resident nor national ... a 10% non-resident tax applies.

means if bought under thai national, there won't be any tax?

There is (in general with some exceptions) a 10% withholding tax on Thai dividends , for a Thai tax payer this can be declared and made use of if there is a benefit. However it does not have to be declared (in thailand) and no further tax (other than the 10%) is payable (in Thailand).

Remember as a foreigner you must buy ****-F shares to be elible for shares dividends.

or you can buy local shares and have the broker register them as NVDR.

If you purchase shares online you can choose to buy NVDR-shares which will automatically be registered to receive dividends.

NVDR ??? please

Here is the official explanation about NVDR-shares:
