Expat Tax Thailand have been fantastic, they have answered all my question promptly, obtained the TIN number within 3 days, I plan to use their Assisted Filing Service shortly. Very professional highly recommended.

First Aid Training Bangkok
Owning a business here is Thailand as an Expat can have some complex tax issues personally and corporate-wise. And after years of getting all sorts of “different information”, it was great to talk with Carl and finally get clarity on the taxation situation here in Thailand. Clear, simple, and concise! Thank you, Carl!

Peter Edan
Excellent service from an English speaking professional with in-depth knowledge of current Thai tax law. Provided clear and concise information, which was jargon free, covering areas I hadn’t even considered. Provided information on how my account with their company would operate and my own involvement in that process. Stated clearly the fees for their services but did not engage in ‘hard sell’ practices. The free consultation was insightful, professional and a pleasure to engage in. I would highly recommend expats consider this service.
Peter Edan
Richard Greene
I was concerned about the implications of the Thai tax laws as it relates to my pension income. I posted a question via the website and within twenty four hours Carl responded and advised me how to proceed. I was impressed by their quick response and knowledgeable answers to my questions.
If you have questions or need help to clarify your situation as it relates to the recent changes to the Thai tax laws I recommend you contact them.
Richard Greene
Mike Medves
We found Carl from Expat Tax Thailand very knowledgable, helpful and professional in taking the time to understand circumstances and offer information of suggestions on moving to Thailand and related tax considerations. Would highly recommend having a chat if you need help in this area or are planning a move.

Geoffrey Mason
Today I had a 30-minute discussion with Carl Turner on Google Meet. The talk was very informative and I recommend expats take advantage of talking to Carl about their situation.
While you may not like what Carl tells you, you can be sure that what he tells you is accurate. We all need to be prepared.

Simon
I live in Chiang Rai and due to the flooding I thought it would be best to use the Thai tax number service. The application form is in Thai so I would have struggled to complete it. Expat Tax did it all for me for a reasonable fee. My new tax number arrived in about 3 days. An excellent quick service all I had to do was provide a copy of my UK passport and they did the rest.
I am also using the early bird tax return service again at a reasonable fee. I didn’t know that I had to provide a 6 month return because I transfer rental income from Scotland. Again they did it all for me and I owe no tax yet. It’s a great relief to know that I have complied with the new tax regulations at a fraction of the cost I would have paid in the UK for a similar service. I highly recommend Expat tax.
Simon
Karl H Faber
By nature, I am very skeptical about services provided by companies that start with the name ‘Expats’ and also about other law firms. What happened to me with EXPATTAX—it cannot be expressed positively enough—is an experience with which I hereby pay my respect and esteem to Ms Anthiya Srisol and Mr Carl Turner.
The information provided, the helpfulness, and the ease of communication are outstanding. In addition, there is an amazingly fast response to questions.
I would not want to do without EXPATTAX.
Thank you very much.
Karl H Faber

Rick Martin
Had a very useful 15 minute video chat with Carl. I had some assumptions about my tax situation which unfortunately appear to be erroneous, so our little chat may have saved me a lot of money. Professional and helpful…

Gary
Excellent support and advice, free consultation and accurate information that all expats in Thailand need to know. Expat Tax Thailand offers a number of reasonably priced tax services that I will personally take advantage of and would recommend them without hesitation to others who don’t won’t a tax year 2024 surprise as the new tax law is being implemented. My contact was with Jason and was very productive.
Gary
Michael Smith
I just moved to Thailand and needed some clarity regarding the tax rules for money I was remitting for a house and such. After all of the misinformation floating about the internet, it was nice to meet with someone who knows exactly what the rules are and how they will be applied. Highly recommended

Geoff
Nothing was too much trouble, nor did I feel rushed, when seeking answers to my questions and concerns. Carl provided me with some practicable advice regarding ways to avoid or minimise any potential impact on my foreign sourced income.
All up it was pleasant experience dealing with Carl and he made me feel relaxed and at ease given the potential impact on these changes may have on my foreign sourced income that I intended bringing into Thailand in 2024 and beyond. Given my experience, I would not hesitate to recommend Carl to anyone in need of financial advice or management.

Barry Clark
This is just a grateful letter of acknowledgement for your kind,professional assistance in completing my 2024 Thai tax submission.
I am very impressed and most thankful to you and your competent support team.
From the beginning, I found assurance and detailed answers and guidance through your video seminars. This was supported by the immediate and easy access to you and, especially, your knowledge of the Canadian tax system and our DTA with Thailand.
My initial contact with the process was with Mr. John Fedden. What a lovely, personable and helpful person. He had already worked out a detailed, tentative submission for me, complete with deductions of which I was unaware. He was intimately familiar with OAS, CPP and personal pension assessability and Revenue Canada’s tax nonresident tax system. I cheerfully owe him a hearty beer and pub pie!
Cris Riyano was very empathic, professional and, most importantly, so patient with my discomfort with computers,,, the kindness and patience of a Saint!
Ruchira Trai-Ngnamson and her team are formidable and amazing. The entire process is made so simple, yet thorough, even for this hapless technophobe. Many thanks for making a daunting experience easy and ultimately enjoyable.
Like many retirees in the Kingdom, I was increasingly confused and despairing by all the uninformed chatter about the impending foreign tax changes. No longer, thanks to you folks at EXPATTAX Thailand. I recommend you highly to my fellow long term residents here in Thailand, especially Canadians.
Barry Clark
Andres Romo
Carl took the time to take a quick free consultation call after I tried to reach out to a dozen other companies who are hard to get a hold of, have language barrier and want to charge a ridiculous fee for basic information.
He was clear, concise and genuine with his advice for my specific situation. Which in my opinion goes to show how much he will care for his clients.
Highly recommend (especially for English speakers) to reach out to Carl for Tax planning and advice.
Andres Romo
Graham Poynor-Woods

Mia Renner
I had a very useful & informative session with Carl today, which really helped me to digest the situation about the tax and pension income situation as an expat in thailand. I also find his costs for filing tax returns more than reasonable and will sure be using his services again as and when I need. Carl is really honest and genuine in his advice, which has put me at ease as I find all of this quite stressful. Why go through it when you have experts to help take the strain out of it all. Thanks Carl! Greatly appreciate our informative chat and your recommendations.
Mia Renner
Mats Sjostrom

Caroline Jones
Today we had a 15 minute meeting with John Fedden of Expat Tax Thailand.
We had read several very good reports of Carl Turner who runs the company, and we weren’t disappointed.
Little things like being very clear about the UK time of the meeting, excellent communication reminding us about the meeting, and clear, simple PDF outlining tax information for British Expats.
A company looking to have long term relationships with their customers and not just to make ‘a quick buck’.
How refreshingly different.
Caroline Jones
Keith Warren
I appreciated the recording of Carl’s very informative webinar presentation on 2 November 2023 about the impending Thai Tax changes that will impact on me from 1 January 2024 as a tourist visiting Thailand for more than 180 days in a Thai Tax Year.
Carl also discussed my situation in a follow-up video phone call – I greatly enjoyed meeting Carl, albeit electronically, with his very helpful advice and recommendations.
It is reassuring that Carl is there to guide me through the developing Thai income tax process during 2024 into 2025.

Carl Turner and his team have produced the most up to date videos explaining clearly the Thai Tax Laws in effect today and how this affects foreigners with their remittances here to Thailand.
Highly recommend Carl Turner and his team from Expat Tax Thailand for any inquiries in this regard.

Simon Scott
I recently had the pleasure of working with Carl for my financial tax needs, and I must say, he exceeded all my expectations. From the outset, Carl impressed me with his exceptional communication skills. He has the rare ability to explain complex tax concepts in a way that’s easy to understand, which made the entire process much less daunting.
Simon Scott
Patrick Sweeney
I have been in contact and following Expat Tax Thailand since the recent changes came in and have found them to be an invaluable source of information. They have had numerous newsletters and webinars which have been very informative and helpful.
I have emailed them on a few occasions with questions and Carl has personally replied with the answers (at no cost). I have also availed of their free 15min consultation which was also very helpful in getting me prepared for tax time and cleared up a few other issues I was still confused about.
I haven’t been able to find any other company that has been as helpful and has made information as freely available as they have.
Patrick Sweeney
Turlough Smith
EXPAT TAX Thailand seems to be the only organisation that is trying to help expats negotiate the new 2024 tax situation. Just had a 15 min free consultation with Jason Rawal which was very informative. I would highly recommend them to anyone who is concerned about the new era we find ourselves in.

Rudi O'Donoghue
Brian Smith
I spoke with Carl Turner, at no cost, who basically told me over the phone how much tax I would need to pay next year – which wasn’t very much as I had feared it would be. I now have the option of using his services to file a tax return next year at a reasonable cost. He seemed to know what he was talking about and was very friendly and helpful as well.
Brian Smith
Eduardo del Amo Romea
I don’t usually write public reviews, but I’m making an exception to thank this team for their clear answers and the peace of mind they’ve given me. As a client, I now feel confident navigating the Thai tax system, knowing exactly what I need to declare, what I’m legally exempt from, and how to optimise my finances, always within the law.

I just had an excellent discussion with Carl about the whole tax situation in Thailand, and I came away with a very good feeling that all will be well for me when I retire in Thailand next year. He really has a clear grasp of all the nuances of the new tax laws….and for sure I will be using Carl to do my Thai tax returns in the future.

Wojtek Paczocha
I would like to express my appreciation for the professional support and help I have received from Carl Turner in answering my questions pertaining to the newly revised Thai tax laws starting in 2024 that impact not only expats but Thai citizens as well. It is very obvious to me that Carl has a deep knowledge, experience and understanding of the current situation facing all of us. I have received very clear answers and guidelines that will help my family to navigate and live in Thailand without any further surprises. I strongly recommend to use his services as well as the webinars and podcasts from his website in this somewhat turbulent tax season in Thailand.
Wojtek Paczocha
Benjamin House
I had been searching through online information and reading the Thai tax code on my own trying to understand my unique situation. After never feeling like I had confidence in my own research and answer, I finally booked an appointment with an expert (Jason) who not only answered all my questions, but took the time to educate me on both my situation and the Thai revenue code. Companies that truly care about the individual they are serving regardless of the benefit to the company are very rare these days. Expat Tax has my business for life because of their incredible service and expertise.

Eddy B.
I was looking for in-depth knowledge on the new Thai income tax rules 2024 and how it will impact me as a foreigner. I found Carl Turner’s youtube channel. Very insightful on double taxation without any sales pitch. The same applies to his website. Very detailed Q&A there. Then I spoke Carl briefly for 15 mins. I presented him with 2 of my tax filing use cases. He could answer them. Some answers were not pleasant to hear, but he was frank.
Right now I think Carl is a pioneer on this subject with most in depth knowledge. I could not find a peer yet with same level of Carl’s knowledge, which is publicly available. I hope to make use of his services in the future.

Why Act Now?
Putting off succession planning is easy—but waiting too long can create unnecessary stress and risk for the people you care about most.
- Laws and tax rules can change without warning
- Without a valid will, Thai law decides who inherits
- Delays can lead to confusion, disputes, and frozen assets
- The sooner you act, the more control and peace of mind you’ll have
The best time to plan is before you need to. We’re here to help you get it right — now, not later.
