Personal Income Tax in Thailand
Who must pay taxes in Thailand ? There is a difference for Residents and Non-Residents. A Resident is a person who stays in one calendar year more than 180 days in Thailand.
A Resident must pay tax for income in Thailand and for income from abroad, if it is brought from abroad into Thailand.
A Non-Resident has to pay tax only for income generated in Thailand.
