Only the foreign income that was remitted to Thailand in the earning year was taxed under the previous regulation. The new regulation addresses this loophole and requires everyone to report any foreign income, even if it isn’t going to be spent locally. This reasoning was given to journalists by a representative of the Finance Ministry:
“The principle of tax is that you must pay tax on income you earn from abroad no matter how you earn it and regardless of the tax year in which the money is earned”.
Other Bangkok Post sources claim that the law explicitly targets people who trade on overseas stock exchanges through foreign brokerages, cryptocurrency investors, and Thai citizens who have accounts abroad.
