Personal Income Tax in Thailand

Thailand imposes Personal Income Tax (PIT) on both residents and non-residents. PIT is based on the person’s assessable income derived from employment or business undertaken in Thailand, regardless of whether the income was earned inside or outside of the country.

Additionally, residents of Thailand are taxed on any income that is remitted into Thailand in the year in which it is received.

Tax residents in Thailand are legally required to pay and file PIT returns every year.
