Question 1

As a married couple, is it correct that we have no need to file tax returns if bringing in less than 220K per annum in foreign income?nIs a TIN tax return for personal income tax unnecessary if less than 220K is brought into Thailand as a joint couple?nAll monies we have are savings from before 1 January 2024. When bringing this into Thailand eventually does it require declaring at all or not? I read that this does not need declaring at all. Is this true?

Based on your information here are the answers:nIf less than 220k of foreign sourced income you don’t need to file.nIf the money is from savings from before 1st January 24 then this is not a foreign sourced income but savings, so doesn’t need to be filed. Foreign sourced income are assets like pension income, capital gains, property rental income etc.. Make sure you keep good records that prove that this money is not a taxable income source.
