Thailand will start imposing tax on foreign income including crypto next year in 2024. Thailand's Revenue Department is planning to impose a personal tax on foreign income of anyone living in Thailand for more than 180 days, including income from crypto trading. According to a report posted on September 19, the new rule introduced by Thailand could be implemented from January 1, 2024, but the forms related to foreign income will be distributed in 2025. Under the previous regulation, only foreign income remitted to Thailand in the year of earnings was taxed. But after the implementation of the new rule, it will remove this shortcoming and will force any person to declare the income earned abroad. Whether this income is being used in the local economy or not. Let us tell you that the information about this new rule applicable in Thailand has been shared by an officer of the Finance Ministry.
Thailand's Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in July required digital asset service providers to provide adequate warnings highlighting the risks associated with cryptocurrency trading. So that these problems can be considered. The risks associated with Cryptocurrency are currently expanding and Thailand aims to reduce the risks associated with Cryptocurrency. Therefore, Thailand is now showing strictness regarding crypto income earned from abroad. But if Thailand imposes tax on crypto income earned from abroad, then foreign investors in cryptocurrency are likely to reduce. Now it remains to be seen how the citizens of Thailand will view this new rule being introduced by Thailand. Because earlier also new rules on Crypto were introduced in Thailand, which were strongly opposed and later the government had to withdraw those rules.
