Several categories of people can face inheritance tax, depending on their relationship to the deceased, their residency, and which assets are involved.

Some key points:

  • Thai nationals are subject if the inherited estate in Thailand meets the threshold.
  • Foreign residents or expatriates domiciled in Thailand may also be liable.
  • Foreign beneficiaries can still owe tax if they inherit assets located in Thailand (regardless of where they live).
  • Juristic persons (companies, juristic entities) incorporated under Thai law may also be subject, particularly if they receive inherited property.
