Loans are not taxable in Thailand, so if there is a loan agreement drawn up and it is a real loan that is being remitted, then it’s not a taxable asset. It is best to check with a tax advisor or accountant that the loan meets the criteria first before remitting to Thailand. It is very important that you keep the documents on file because there could be serious tax implications if not.
Gifting means you’ll never benefit from the gift or receive the gift back at any time in the future. You can gift up to 20 million Thai Baht to ascendants or descendants in any tax year before gift tax. It is recommended that if you are to gift assets, you seek advice as it is more complicated than simply sending money to a third party. You need to ideally have evidence on file that this is a formal gift.
This is classed as foreign sourced income and the capital gains needs to be filed in Thailand. Thailand tax residents must pay taxes on their foreign-sourced income remitted to Thailand. This means if you’re considered a tax resident in Thailand—defined as someone who spends 180 days or more in the country in a calendar year—you must include your income remitted from abroad in your annual tax return and pay Thai taxes on it. However, to avoid double taxation (paying taxes on the same income in both Thailand and the country where the income was earned), Thailand has double tax treaties with 61 countries that allow for tax credits or exemptions. It’s important to consult a tax professional to understand how these treaties may apply to your situation and to ensure compliance with Thai tax laws while maximising available benefits.nn
U.S. expatriates in Thailand might have to pay taxes in Thailand. This depends on their income sources, residency status, and how long they stay. Thailand taxes people based on their residency and where their income comes from. Expats who stay in Thailand for 180 days or more in a year are considered tax residents and must pay taxes on their foreign sourced income remitted to Thailand. Those who don’t meet this residency requirement only pay taxes on the income they make in Thailand. The US/Thai DTA sets out how certain assets are taxed for residents in Thailand and certain exclusions, like US social security.
