What Is The Personal Income Tax Rate In Thailand?

Transcript of the above video:

As the title of this video suggests, we are discussing Personal Income Tax rate here in Thailand. I get this question a fair amount; folks want to know "hey I want to come to Thailand, I want to live and work there. What is my Personal Income Tax rate going to look like?" 

Well I am going to go ahead and throw this up on the screen; this is actually from rd.go.th. That is the Revenue Department itself, so we will throw this up on screen. 

Personal Income Tax rate. If you look up there at the top it says 5 - 35%, then down here under Personal Income tax it says: Thai Individual Income Tax rates are progressive up to 35%.

Personal income tax rates applicable to taxable income are as follows:

  • 0 - 150,000 Baht per year are exempt
  • 150,000 - 300,000 a year - 5%,
  • 300,000 - 500,000 per year - 10%,
  • 500,000 - 750,000 per year - 15%,
  • 750,000 - 1,000,000 per year - 20%
  • 1,000,000 Baht - 2,000,000 Baht per year - 25%, 
  • 2,000,000 Baht -  4,000,000 Baht - 30%
  • over 4 million Baht is 35%. 

Quoting further: "An individual is considered tax resident if he/she is in Thailand for 180 days or more in a calendar year." 

So the thing to take away from this video and understand is yes there is a Progressive Income Tax Rate here in Thailand; you may be subject to it depending on the circumstances of your situation. For those that are absolutely concerned about this, especially regarding possible foreign earned income, it is probably a good idea to contact a legal professional, gain some insight and guidance into how best to proceed.
