As a DTV visa holder staying in Thailand for over 180 days (i.e., all year), you are considered a Thai tax resident. You must pay personal income tax on Thai-sourced income and foreign income brought into Thailand, such as UK earnings.
The UK-Thailand DTA does not exempt you from Thai tax but prevents double taxation. You can claim a tax credit in Thailand for taxes paid in the UK on the same income, reducing your Thai tax liability.
Watch this video to find out more about how the UK-Thailand DTA works. DTAs can be complex to manage, so please don’t hesitate to contact our team if you’d like to discuss further.
Yes, digital nomads can utilise Double Taxation Agreements (DTAs) to minimise their tax liability in Thailand. Thailand has DTAs with over 60 countries.
DTAs prevent double taxation. If you are a tax resident, you can claim credits for taxes paid abroad on the same income. This lowers your Thai tax bill. For example, the US-Thailand DTA allows US expats to offset US taxes against Thai taxes. This can mean that you have no tax to pay in Thailand, but you still have an obligation to file.
We have lots of resources on Double Tax Agreements or, if you prefer, book a call with our team to discuss.
