If you don’t pay taxes owed in Thailand, you may face serious consequences, including fines, penalties, and interest on unpaid taxes. The Thai Revenue Department has the authority to conduct audits and investigations into tax evasion. Failure to comply with tax obligations can lead to legal action, including criminal charges, which might result in imprisonment. Additionally, non-payment can damage your credit rating and hinder your ability to conduct business in Thailand, as it reflects negatively on your financial responsibility and legal compliance.
In Thailand, intentionally avoiding tax payments or falsely claiming refunds is considered a significant violation. Those found guilty of tax evasion can face criminal penalties, including a jail term of three months to seven years and fines from 2,000 to 200,000 Baht. Financial penalties can be 200% of the tax evaded and interest of 1.5% a month. Our advice is to stay fully compliant and within the rules.
Yes, Australia and Thailand have a tax treaty, formally known as the Agreement between the Government of Australia and the Government of the Kingdom of Thailand for the Avoidance of Double Taxation and the Prevention of Fiscal Evasion with Respect to Taxes on Income. This agreement is designed to prevent double taxation and fiscal evasion, making it easier for individuals and businesses to operate between the two countries by clarifying the tax obligations for income earned in either country. This treaty covers various forms of income, including dividends, interest, and royalties, and establishes the taxing rights of each country to ensure taxpayers are not taxed twice on the same income.
