Taxes in Thailand
Thank you Martin
The way I see it;
I will be moving in a couple of months and will become a tax resident. I'm happy to pay Thai taxes of any income, which will be interests and capital gains from stock etc., while living in Thailand.
Everything I have earned prior to moving to Thailand has nothing to do with Thailand and was earned while being a tax resident in another country, Denmark, and is therefore "savings" now and not income. Even income that was somehow tax-free in Denmark, e.g. gains from selling property. - @JonSt
I disagree with your happiness to pay taxes on any income that was already taxed in your country when was generate and then retaxed if you stay in Thailand for more than 181 days if you transfer it here to garanty your visa stay permit for NON-IMM O and must stay untached in a Thai bank account without interest for at least 6 month and visa tax itself with Re-entry visa is also not free, and extra money to pay hotel, rent room to local people that do not pay tax for that rental income, or to pay restaurants supermarket dressing transportations where already there is a VAT TAX, or if you buy a condominium room where you pay registration tax at Land office and the common area fee aswell water and electric bills already taxed and so on, the list could be long. Which are already all benefits that an expat is bringing to Thailand with hard currency from abroad. And an expat should rather be exempted than taxed again.
@JonSt
I like this quote
Why Is Thailand Changing the Law for Expats?
It is all about raising money, not about targeting expats...😉
I.would say the overwhelming majority of income brought into Thailand would be expats.
Maybe it would better better to write 'source'
Just kidding.... - @martinoo2002
I would say that the overhelming incomes are brought by big investors and foreign business companies from China, Russia, mainly at this moment, laundering huge amounts and then re-exporting the black incomes somewhere else without paying taxes. This are the ones that should be targeted to rise money, not on simple retired people over 60-70 that do not make any business and do not have income from Thai system but pay a survival daily money including eventually doctors and hospital treatment that need paid right away or covered by an insurance that does not come from Thai governament. As well renting a room that generates an income to thai owners on which they don't pay any tax.
Or the 800,000 baht constantly in a thai account to garanty the stay permit and the stay permit + Re-entry visa fees.
Or if buying a condo room, paying the land registration tax, aswell common area fees, water and electric bill with VAT tax, public transportations etc etc.
This are all benefits already to thai country via hard currency from abroad that must be considered as a paid tax from start.
@Maxi Mari
This will bring your heart rate down a little I hope 😁

I would say that the topic is about personal tax income and not corporate
And I see, by reading your remark about transferring money in and out and black incomes you have not worker in a sacpity that has to do with banking, corporate profits and specifically not bank transfers and its ridiculous requirements.
It is impossible to move out money from Thailand. to whitewash because you are always subject to With Holding Tax and you always need to show an invoice from the source of to where your payment is transferred.. and the bases of you transaction.....
Don't spread your thoughts as facts here...
I disagree with your happiness to pay taxes on any income that was already taxed in your country
- @Maxi Mari
Not sure where you got that from, definitely not what I said. I said I'm happy to pay tax on income i earn while living in Thailand and am a tax resident. If I already paid tax in my country, it's called savings, there is a big difference.

I come from a country that is 100 times more strict and accurate about monetary system and see it relatively applied it in Thailand.
After 44 years arround Asia and Thailand, I saw and heard many things. And wouldn't be so many Russians and Chinese here if no return...
Anyway ok, if you say no reason not to believe what you sustain. Thank you
@Maxi Mari
I think you are mixing up tourists and businesses
That said China is a top 5 investor, Russia not even close as their funds/business are more or less sanctioned
China however has i history here and China is next to English one of the top languages taught on universities, so many Chinese companies, like westerners, have Chinese nationals on key positions and the rest are local...

Mixing or not Mixing... The fact is that many come as tourists at beginning to see how is and then switch to long stay visa or sometimes business visa, and start small, medium or even bigger businesses in various forms like real estate, or resort construction partecipations like they doing in full now in Phuket full of russians of any kind, even ex Wagners, which are not retired expats.
Chinese of course have a big open entrance door to start business here legally and illegaly and we see What's going on at northern border but also in the rest of the land.
This to say that they all have real incomes produced and with earnings and revenues while resude on the territory that should be the one taxed and not some retired expat that spend more or less the 6 month winter times here and might have or not some social security or pension from social security state entities create in the past by monty or yearly taxes applied on a salary earned during the 20-30-40 years of working life and which monthly result after ending work life does not even arrive in Thailand as a monthly transfered amount.
This to reconnect to what you told about them here able to get informations on expat from foreign countries and the fact to cooperate with Thai revenue office to decleare on voluntary base own incomes or money otherwise they could check back in time and make hard consequences, which I think is freithening way to expose the question by an other expat cause I repeat that they never have informed officially any retired people and given a form about what should be done. That's why do I continue to sustain that those that should pay taxes are those "producing" their income and revenue by working on the territory by a job or a business. Not older people that stay here, sleep at morning, go out and exercise, go to beach, go eat at restaurant and food courts relax with friends but sure not working anymore to be taxed. That's my opinion...
@martinoo2002
Thanks for the link about HuaHin...
@Maxi Mari
Switching to a business visa is not easy, you need a company that shows the need to hire you as an expat.
If you want to invest, I believe, 10 mio THB in real estate, deposit or bonds you can apply... and still need to have a business plan that involves at least 4 Thai.
And still you do not own the business. It always needs a Thai majority shareholder. Lots of people use nominees but especially in tourist areas (double that for Phuket/Samui) they are doing more and more audits on companies.
However if you have a solid business plan and if your business is an enrichment for the Thai economy with employees, general business idea itself and a few more, than you can apply at BOI, NIA and FBL for foreign ownership.....Believe me BOI is not a piece of cake and needs considerable investments and the other 2 are more difficult..
You are just as in your home country obliged to submit your annual tax return. Saying you did not inform me will not help you as there has been so many media buzz about it, that you must have been deaf, dumb, blind and a mute to have missed it.
And I repeat, not doing it and they find out, they will go back in history for as far as they can to 2024...charge interest, penalties and this is on top pf the taxes you have to pay.
Most of us come from countries that have a DTA where taxes on pensions or social security are taxed at source or tax free, that DTA is the rule....it comes before new laws...
Go to the office and ask for a tax number and go home login on https://efiling.rd.go.th/rd-efiling-web/register
and next fill in your tax return, just don't submit yet as the tax officer will no extra deductions if needed.
Now, the TRD has stated that they won't open a which hunt and I will explain why they don't need to
A lot of expats are here with Non O on Income, TRD have to link to or receive report from immi and your are royally screwed.
Not sure what they will ask next when you are here on Non O bank balance... but just one question more at immi will suffice
They have all our 90 days updated addresses so a quick visit is enough.....
Conclusion; with the DTA there is no real reason to not submit and because of the immi requirements they know where all of us can be found..... Why be stubborn and take a risk that can be very costly

Thank you for explanation, I knew about, but I don't want to get Business visa, and don't want and never did start any business in Thailand so that's a solved problem.
Not having any income neither here or abroad and living on savings, should anyway ask for a Tax number and declare no income to the tax office?
By the way I entered that link you mentioned to see what they ask for but got a complete page only in Thai language alphabet.
Have foreigners to file tax declarations in thai language? 🤔 or did you see an English version?
@Maxi Mari
No income no taxation no risk so no need to ask the TIN.
However you must be able to share your transferred funds are from before 2024. Any addition to the funds after that date will be considered 'income'
Bringing in funds in the same manner as above are tax exempt as well. Always inform your bank and they will guide it into the correct process...Bringing the funds in this way also means you can get them out again...Not always that easy with earned funds....
If you use Google than on the first page click right side and you will see translate to English. And you can add this feature to your browser to always translate pages. If you need anyone to still read them in Thai, just refresh the page...
There are some Visa that are free from this tax submission but they are costly. LTR and Elite.
@martinoo2002
What if someone just western unions' themselves money from their own country to Thailand?? In theory no one will know, but I suppose they'll want to know how you have funded yourself when you renew your visa....??
it will show on your bank statements, as received funds, same as wise or anu other way
@martinoo2002
OK, but I was thinking more about collecting from a western union place, rather than transferring into a bank account.
I don't intend to do it, but thought it was a way around the tax issue.....
I currently live in the UK with the intention of moving to Thailand next year, so any savings I have before my move are not taxable anyway.
Since we're speculating on avoiding taxes... I recently thought of a scenario:
I gift my son, who lives in Denmark, a sum of money, below the limit for taxation here in DK. He then gifts me money below the limits for taxation while I live in Thailand. Would that work?
@Simonbolton
You need to fill in a form, the form is for revenue department and when it is over xx thb (not sure) or repeats....well that's the story. Anyway you will need to put in in your bank as well....unless you want to live on cash only..
I expect, nothing else, that immi.wil.soon ask for income from.all type visa houders supported by bankstatements or sources of money you live on.
It's important to understand that financial institutions like Western Union operate under strict regulatory oversight, which includes reporting obligations. Here's a breakdown of how this generally works in Thailand:
* Regulatory Compliance:
* Financial institutions, including money transfer services, are subject to regulations aimed at preventing money laundering and other illicit activities.
* In Thailand, these regulations are overseen by authorities like the Bank of Thailand (BoT) and the Anti-Money Laundering Office (AMLO).
* Reporting Obligations:
* These regulations often require financial institutions to report certain transactions, especially those that are large or considered suspicious.
* This can include reporting to revenue authorities or other relevant agencies.
* Therefore, it is likely that repeating transfers that meet certain criteria, could be reported.
* Key Considerations:
* The specific reporting requirements can vary depending on the amount and frequency of the transfers.
* "Know Your Customer" (KYC) procedures are also crucial, which means Western Union is required to verify the identity of its customers.
* It is also important to know that Thailand has laws regarding the reporting of financial transactions.
In summary, while I cannot provide definitive specifics on every reporting detail, it's safe to say that Western Union, like other financial institutions in Thailand, operates under regulatory requirements that include potential reporting of transactions.
To get the most precise and up-to-date information, I recommend:
* Checking the official Western Union website for Thailand.
* Contacting Western Union customer service directly.
* Consulting with a financial advisor or legal expert in Thailand.
* Checking information provided by the Bank of Thailand.
This goes for all financial institutions that is why cash exchanges ask for tour passport...
@JonSt
Above the threshold will be taxed
And the taxfree threshold is low like 150.000 thb
Your son van send the money through wise as family Support... if it is not too high it.wil be OK
But if they as for bankstatements they will see it and.... fines interest etc...
However if you have a Thai wife your son could send to her through wise as family Support. That will not be taxed
I don't really think any idea will be the permanent solution. Risk and value are the words
@martinoo2002
OK, no worries, I was merely speculating, it wasn't my intention to actually do it.
I will be moving to Thailand next June 2026, my understanding is that any money I have saved prior to this is non taxable in Thailand, irrespective of whether I transfer it over, also, these are earnings I have saved, which have already been taxed in the UK.
After this date, the only income I will have is a Civil Service Pension, which again, if DTA is to be believed, should be taxable only in the UK, and also, it is my understanding that Civil Sevice Pensions cannot be taxed abroad legally.
If I am right, then I have no worries about taxation.
But......?? ☺️
@Simonbolton
Been having similar worries, mostly from reading online forums where there is plenty of scaremongers 😂
The "after January 2024" thing was freaking me out as I sold my apartment after that and the profits are not taxed where I live. At one point someone on an online forum told me that I would be taxed in Thailand on that money, even if I move in 2025, which luckily is nonsense 😁
I think you are safe when it comes to taxes.
@JonSt
Don't believe everything you read online, some information is just garnered from other sites.
And yes, there is a lot of scaremongering going on.
But, Martinoo2002 seems to know what he's talking about, as he talks from experience.
I tend to look at gov.uk for certain information.
@JonSt
What your income from Denmark ?
Social pension (Førtidspension, Or Folkepension + ATP)
Private pension ?
Other pension type ?
Other income type ?
Do you pay around 36-40% tax in Denmark of it ?
@Never done that
I will not have any fixed income for the first 6 years. Perhaps some interests and capital gains from stocks etc. After that I will have a private pension for 10 years, followed by social pension. I think the lowest tax is about 38%.

Agree, and Martins replies have been very helpful 🤗
@JonSt
You can all ways call the Danish Tax office back home.
They have people there that can tell you all you need to know about it.
They social pension we dont have to pay tax to Thailand from, As we pay more in Tax in Denmark, Then Thailand take.
As it is part of Double Tax Agreement (DTA) that Thailand have to credit what we pay to Denmark first.
And we know that the way Thailand look at it, As many Danish people over the years have being call in to Thai Tax office.
And have to bring proof of pension and last yearly tax paper.
And from all we hear, Was told we dont need to pay because of the Double Tax Agreement (DTA).
Private pension it is best to call home and ask.
I have 3 private pension start paying out when i turn 70 years.
1 i dont have to pay tax to Thailand from because of Double Tax Agreement (DTA).
But the 2 others if Thailand learn about them, Thailand can take Tax from them.
I do not plan to tell Thailand when time come, If they know, They know.
I knew this before moving here, And we be fine even with a little more Tax to Thailand when time come, If i need to pay some.
@Never done that
Ok, so you are from Denmark as well 
I know all about the DTA and the rules. Private pensions shouldn't be an issue either, as the tax is much higher in Denmark.
I'm also happy to pay some taxes to Thailand when the time comes to cash in on my investments in the future.
@Never done that
They social pension we dont have to pay tax to Thailand from, As we pay more in Tax in Denmark, Then Thailand take.
As it is part of Double Tax Agreement (DTA) that Thailand have to credit what we pay to Denmark first.
Spot on
@JonSt
The 2 private pension (When i turn 70) that NOT part of the DTA for me.
I have to pay 38% Tax to Denmark, And if Thailand learn about them, additional tax to Thailand on top of that.
And i dont get that back as my 2 private pension are NOT part of the DTA for me.
The Danish Tax office all ready told me this before moving, And that ok for me.
But you can simple call home and find out if you Private pension are part or not of the TDA, So you know / can plan around it.
@Never done that
Your taxes are way higher than the Thai taxes including deduction of some Thai Tax benefits, that if you are married to a Thai, can run up to 500,000 THB per year. AND you can deduct taxes paid in home country..
I would be hugely surprised you will have anything additional to pay, the progressive tax rates here are lower...
Personally, since I am an expat for the past 35 years, I get a small allowance from my government. I filled in the tax document (already having a TIN from my job) and with the taxes paid in my home country and the max deductions I was negative, so I filed and after submitting my marriage documents and tax form form home country, I am still waiting for the news. I had my provident fund pay me out in December 23.... tax free...hehehehhe
I do not think they will return taxes on taxes paid in another country, but on the other hand I have paid some income tax over the past 25 years I worked here. TIT, so waiting for the decision...
@martinoo2002
I know 100% we have to pay additional / on top tax to Thailand on any Pension not part of TDA.
How much Tax i pay in Denmark have nothing to do with it, If the pension is not part of the TDA.
That why every country sat down with Thailand and make the own Agreement before sign the Agreement back in time.
That all so why the Deal XXX country made, Have nothing to do with Denmark and the other way around.
But i told @JonSt he can simple call home, As the people working at Danish Tax office know the 100% correct answer for him.
I know i going to pay tax of 2 private pension when time come, IF Thailand learn about them.
I am not going to talk about it any more, As it is waist of my time, I full trust Danish Tax officer over any random foreigner on a forum or even in real life here in Thailand, As my country have never give me wrong information.
Kindly.
@Never done that
Well I guess you have never done it. I did and was allowed to deduct paid taxes. There is a special line for that...
Seems one better than the Danish tax guys. Real experience.......
Cheers mate
@Never done that
Every information I have found online, including here in DK, contradicts what you are saying. I appreciate the heads up and will be contacting the danish tax authorities just in case.
It makes no sense that Thailand would tax income, pension in this case, that has already been taxed higher in another country. I really hope this is not the truth as I will have a serious issue with the private pension (PFA) that I intend to activate at 60 and will run until 70.
edit: did a quick search and what I found goes against what you are claiming
[link under review]
[link under review]
@JonSt
I was told 1 of my private Pension that is very high. Other private one medium size.
Thailand can tax from it on top of Danish Tax, Because is not part of TDA.
I was told this again in December 2024 when i call the Danish tax office on something else.
And the very small deduct here in Thailand is a joke, As the large amount left to take Tax from.
If correct, The deduct is 500,000 THB per year like @martinoo2002 write.
For me is not even the neighborhood of my 1 very high private pension per year i have.
As i all ways pay max per month, And now and then when we was able to put XX.XXX Danish Krone ekstra in, I did max every time.
I am going to trust the Danish Tax office on this.
But good too hear you calling home, Simple ask to talk to a person that know about the TDA between Denmark and Thailand.
Good luck.
@Never done that
Thanks, I will call them. I'm still in DK, making the move next month
I really hope a PFA pension is covered by the DTA, otherwise I will do as you say and not mention it to anyone 😂
@Never done that
2 things; Allowance from Government / Social security are different from pensions.
If your pension in DM is tax free, or if you same as from my country, where I can ask for pension being exempt due to my expatriate status.
Thus If not paying tax on the pension, and you submit the details to TRD, they will tax you according your DTA
The DTA normally, and I expect DM as well, will mention that the source country (DM) can only tax the income.
If not, what is a DTA for.....
Your Danish Tax people know as much about Thai Tax, as Embassy workers about local Visa's. This is another world here...
Again I already submitted my tax return and deducted my paid taxes, not sure if in the correct line, one more up or not, but the TRD has already asked me for details so they are not denying me.
Below a link to that specific part of my tax return, with google translate you will see what and how
The link is only up for 2 days
If the link does not work, send me your email in a PM and I will send you the screenshot directly
Anyway deadline for submission is end of this month. I can assist anyone with his submission, but not for free
You always need to have a TIN, if you submit later than April 1, you will be fined... interest... etc
If you really want to see how it is, use AI.....
Navigating international tax implications can be complex, and the deductibility of taxes paid in a home country when dealing with Thai tax regulations requires careful consideration. Here's a breakdown of the key factors:
Double Taxation Agreements (DTAs):
The presence of a DTA between Thailand and the individual's home country is the most crucial element. These agreements are designed to prevent double taxation, and they often outline mechanisms for tax relief.
DTAs may provide for tax credits or exemptions, which could effectively reduce the tax burden in Thailand by taking into account taxes paid elsewhere.
It is very important to look at the specific DTA between the two countries in question. Because each DTA is different.
Tax Credits vs. Deductions:
It's important to differentiate between tax credits and deductions.
A tax credit directly reduces the amount of tax owed, while a deduction reduces the taxable income. DTAs often employ tax credit mechanisms.
It is less common for a country to allow a deduction of foreign income tax from the gross income.
Thai Revenue Department Regulations:
The Thai Revenue Department's regulations and interpretations of DTAs play a significant role in determining the actual tax treatment.
It is highly recommended to seek professional tax advice from a qualified expert in Thai tax law to ensure compliance and optimize tax liabilities.
In essence, while the goal of DTAs is to prevent double taxation, the specific application of these agreements can vary
and then this
DTAs is to prevent double taxation for the pension in the deal between the 2 country, And there for not ALL pension.
It is kind to share your information. But i have no need to read it.
I know the diffident between tax credits and deductions, It is really not that hard like you want it to sound.
No need for me to pay a expert Thai tax person when i turn 70 years.
But as i told you before i know 100% how it is, As i know people here in Thailand that all ready is paying Thai Tax of pension.
I have 1 friend that all ready paying Tax of his Danish Private pension to both countrys.
And i seeing the paper work for both Danish tax and Thai tax from the same private pension.
So i know if pension is not part of DTA, We can end up paying "double".
After i seeing @JonSt is going to contact of Danish Tax office, I see no point to keep going on with you as i know what i need to know at this time.
Still many many years before i turn 70 years, So i dont need to start looking into the Thai Tax part before i hit 69 years, or so.
@martinoo2002 write
Your Danish Tax people know as much about Thai Tax, as Embassy workers about local Visa's. This is another world here...
If by local Visa you think of here in Thailand, That NOT a Visa we do every year, But a Extension
I see you still dont know that Visa and Extension are 2 different things, That grant us 2 different things.
They 100% know what pensions Thailand can tax and not.
They all so why we being told if Thailand dont follower the DTA and tax us anyway.
To send proof of that back to Danish Tax Office so our country can take legal action.
This have all ready being talk about back home and our country is ready, If Thailand dont follower the DTA.
@Never done that
Sure let us know how you fare..
Below a link where TRD clearly discusses DTA
Today I checked the status of my return, I found out they needed more information. My wife her ID..
So when you submit online like I do, it is best to check status every week, they will not contact you nor your partner
Just talked to the Danish tax authorities. Basically all pensions, both government and private, can be taxed in both countries, but as the tax percentage in Denmark is a minimum of 38%, this means that there will be no taxation from the Thai authorities as the DTA prevents double taxation. This is just as I thought it was.
