Expat income tax

If you stay more than 180 days in any calendar year in Thailand, you are considered a Thai tax resident, and since the beginning of 2024, any money you remit, or bring into the country, is assessable for income tax.

But what counts as a remittance – does it include ATM withdrawals and credit card purchases?

Are certain income types, such as government pensions, exempt?

If you have money saved overseas before 2024, can you transfer it tax-free now?

Are remittances from joint accounts or family transfers taxable?

How do Double Tax Agreements work for expats living in Thailand?

Can Thai authorities see your overseas bank accounts or investments?

And do digital nomads on the Destination Thailand visa need to file Thai tax returns?

To answer those questions and more, Dave Kendall is joined by Carl Turner, Co-founder of Expat Tax Thailand, and Sarawoot Intapanom, the firm's Strategic Government Advisor.
