Broadcast Live: 30th September 2025
In this video, Carl Turner explains how Thailand’s tax rules apply to new arrivals, why timing matters when moving funds, and the strategies that can protect your wealth before you relocate.
Topics Covered:
- Thai tax residency — the 180-day rule, no split-year treatment, and what becoming a resident means for your global income
- Remittance rules — what counts as assessable foreign income when brought into Thailand (pensions, property sales, capital gains, ISAs, lump sums)
- Key planning strategies — how to time pension withdrawals, investments, and property sales before you arrive to reduce your tax exposure
- Thai Tax ID and filing — when you need to apply for a TIN, what deadlines apply, and what happens if you fail to file
- Double Tax Agreements (DTAs) — how treaties override domestic rules, which income types are covered, and how to claim tax credits
- Allowances and deductions — personal allowances, age-related deductions, and insurance reliefs available to new residents
- Compliance and monitoring — how the Revenue Department tracks remittances, CRS data exchange, and the risks of not keeping proper records
- Practical guidance — clear steps to separate pre-residency savings, apply the FIFO method for mixed accounts, and avoid common mistakes new movers make
The video also includes a live Q&A covering over 30 questions from the live audience including real-world situations such as mid-year moves, pooled bank accounts, crypto, pension transfers, inheritance, and remitting savings safely.
