Personal Income Tax
A Thai tax resident is a person living in Thailand more than 180 days per year. A Thai resident has therefore the obligation de declare the totality of its income on the Thai territory without consideration of his permanent status under the immigration requirements.
On the other hand, a person who has lived less than 180 days per year in the Kingdom of Thailand is considered as a non-resident by tax authorities. However, a non-resident has the obligation to declare incomes derived from a source in Thailand.
Personal Income Tax (PIT) is a tax directly collected on the revenue of Thai tax residents
