Thailand tax profile

Data year: 2026

Tax system
Remittance Thailand taxes residents on Thai-sourced income as it accrues. From 1 January 2024, tax residents (180+ days in the calendar year) must include foreign-sourced income earned from 2024 onwards in the year it is remitted to Thailand (Revenue Department Instructions Por. 161/2566 and Por. 162/2566); income earned before 2024 is excluded when remitted later. A proposed same-year-or-following-year remittance exemption announced in 2025 remained a draft and was not in force as of mid-2026.
