Does anyone know the approximate Tax Free Allowance for a married Thai parent, that is running their own business.

 

I seem to remember it began at around 200,000thb p/a around 10 years ago.

 

Then went up if they were a parent etc.

 

Anybody know the current figures?

 

Thanks. 

I believe this answers the question.

150k thb TFA.

 

150-300k thb - 5% of that amount.

 

So a 300k in come would be taxed at 5% of 150k, which would be 7,500thb per annum. 

 

Edit. + 30k for one child.

 

TFA would be 180k thb.

Anyone know if there are more deductions for being self-employed as to being employed by a company?
