In this article, I am going to show you how to get your very own Thai tax ID to pay taxes in Thailand without having a work permit.<\/p>\n

I’ll also explain in this article why you would want a Thai tax ID as a digital nomad.<\/p>\n

Why would you want to pay income tax in the first place?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

If you’re making serious amounts of money it’s a good idea to have a legitimate paper trail of your income.<\/p>\n

I don’t enjoy paying taxes but it’s part of the game we play so I do what I can to play within the rules and minimize my tax burden.<\/p>\n

Thailand has a double tax treaty with lots of countries including mine, which means if I pay income tax in Thailand, I am not required to pay income tax in England on that income remitted.<\/p>\n

In Thailand, income remitted to Thailand during the same tax year it was earned is subject to taxation.<\/p>\n

This means if you make $100,000 in personal income within their tax year but only bring $40,000 into Thailand through the use of ATMs or bank wire, you only pay tax on the $40,000 bought into the country.<\/p>\n

If you bring the $60,000 earned into the country the following year, there is no taxation because you did not earn it in the current year of taxation.<\/p>\n

What you need to get your very own Tax ID<\/strong><\/h2>\n

There are two pieces of documents you need to be able to apply for a tax ID as a digital nomad, they are:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Passport<\/li>\n
  • Lease agreement (ideally 12 months)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    You will also need a reason to apply for a Thai Tax ID. I told them that I live in Thailand and bring money into the country from overseas work which needs to be taxed.<\/p>\n

    Because I have spent more than 180 days in Thailand this year, it means by law I must pay Tax in Thailand If I don’t pay personal income tax in my home country.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
