Thailand operates a progressive personal income tax system, meaning the more you earn, the higher the rate of tax applied to your income.
Current Personal Income Tax Rate (as of latest update):
You are considered a tax resident of Thailand if you reside in the country for 180 days or more in a calendar year.
Tax residents are taxed on their worldwide income, regardless of where the income is earned or paid.
Non-residents are only taxed on income earned within Thailand.
It is important to properly declare all relevant income, including overseas earnings if you qualify as a tax resident.
Companies operating in Thailand are subject to corporate income tax (CIT). The rate depends on the size and nature of the company, and whether it qualifies for government incentives.
Standard Rate: 20% on net profits
Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs):
15% on net profit up to THB 3 million
20% on any amount above THB 3 million
BOI-Promoted Companies:
0%–20%, depending on the nature of the promotion
May also receive exemptions from import duties and VAT
Special Economic Zones (SEZs):
10% for targeted industries
Applicable for up to 10 consecutive accounting periods
Global Minimum Tax (GloBE):
A minimum tax rate of 15% applies to multinational enterprises with global revenues exceeding €750 million, in line with OECD BEPS 2.0 regulations
Corporate income tax filings are typically due annually, with instalments and advanced payments required throughout the year for most businesses.
