Paying income tax in Thailand
FYI.
The following information pertains to whether people living in Thailand on a retiree visa are subject to Thai income tax. The information at the end of this post came from this week's [I]Stickman Weekly[/I] Column.
[B]Apparently there are two issue: (1) has your income been taxed in your home country and (2) does your home country have a double taxation treaty with Thailand. If the answers to both questions are yes, then you are not required to pay income tax in Thailand. Australia, Great Britain, New Zealand and the United States have double taxation treaties with Thailand. I did not search for other countries, but had no difficulty ascertaining this in a few seconds by searching the following "name of my home country" Thailand double taxation treaty. [/B]
The following is not a plug for Sunbelt Asia Legal Advisers. I just thought this information would be helpful considering this was a topic that generated a number of posts a few days ago.
Here is the text from the Stickman column.
[I]Question 1: This is my first year on retirement stay in Thailand as a single man. No earning income activity here or abroad. Is it legal not to file an income tax here? If yes, can I obtain an official document to confirm it. Thanks.
Sunbelt Asia Legal Advisers responds: It's difficult to get too specific on the limited information but a broad answer would be that firstly it would depend on the length of your stay in Thailand. According the Revenue Code anyone who stays in Thailand for a total of 180 days a tax year are deemed a resident of Thailand for tax purposes and must file Thai taxes if they are earning income either domestically or overseas.
You will then need to consider the type of funding used to apply for your retirement visa (your savings, your gratuity or your pension). According to the Revenue Code under Section 40 funds like gratuity and pension will also be considered as income.
Has this funding been taxed at your home country prior to the transferring into Thailand? If no, then you will have to file (pay) taxes in Thailand. If yes, you will need to check to see if your home country has entered into a Double Taxation Treaty with Thailand. If you country has entered into a Double Taxation Treaty with Thailand, then you will not have to pay taxes in Thailand, but if there is no double taxation treaty, whether your source had paid tax on the transfer funds back at your home country, you would still need to file for Thai tax.
