In my case at least, income from state pension is not taxable in Thailand. Beside the point I know, but I am surprised that so many people have no interest in paying income tax! I don't have to get a tax number either, although I am sure that I could get one if I spent a bit of tea money...

Most of the time,taxation laws are fairly similar in Thailand to Western countries.No tax is payable on savings brought into Thailand,however,tax is payable on any earnings on those savings.One thing I would watch out for is rental income.Most expats will have property{except condos} in their partners' name.This means that partner will need to show rental income on their tax return-even though you have probably paid for it.I believe tax is something you do not mess around with-just paying it is a lot easier in the end.Personally,I would rather get a good night's sleep than save a few baht. But that's just my humble opinion.

Never heard of anyone paying Tax here.. Is it a upto you thing or is it set in law... Only the daft pay tax in this country...

I dont pay tax on my 250k baht a month pension that i transfer here.. Do i have to pay tax on that??

You tell us "only the daft pay tax in this country"-Then why ask whether you need to pay tax?Someone as clever as you should be able to figure that out all by themselves.

On that amount you would pay income tax in the UK if that is where you get it from not sure about countries.You will also pay tax on the interest received in a Thai Bank.

[Eric2012]

Binnsy,correct about the interest-Anyone who collects interest in Thailand already pays 15% tax before it goes into your bank account.Antonio-that means all of us are daft according to Toffo.

You are not liable for Tax on Money bought into Thailand, you would be liable to Tax where the Money is earned though.
