Question 1

I am moving to Thailand later this year in 2024. I have a business in Australia which will provide me a regular passive income weekly for me while I live in Thailand. My income will be automatically taxed and sent to the Australian Tax Office and my tax return will be done in Australia.    As there is a DTA between the two countries will I have pay any tax to the Thai government? I assume not with a DTA as long as I declare with the Thai TAX Office I've paid tax on the money already

If you transfer in the overseas income, this is assessable income. You can use the tax credits for tax paid already on this potentially and you will have to file a tax return. Our Assisted Tax Filing Service is the most suitable for you.
