The discussion examines a real-world case study involving an expat resident in Phuket who faced substantial tax exposure after remitting overseas savings for a local property transaction. It details how the firm's legal team successfully mitigated the client's liability to zero by performing a comprehensive tax residency audit, establishing the acquisition timeline of the capital gains prior to residency status, and leveraging specific provisions within the relevant Double Taxation Agreement (DTA).   Related Topic: https://www.siam-legal.com/Business-in-Thailand/thailand-income-tax-for-foreigners.php   ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SIAM LEGAL INTERNATIONAL (Bangkok Office) 18th Floor, Unit 1806 Two Pacific Place, 142 Sukhumvit Rd, Khlong Toei, Bangkok 10110, Thailand Phone: TH: +66 2254 8900 Email: [email protected] Website: https://www.siam-legal.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Follow us across platforms: 📌Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SiamLegal/ 📌Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/siamlegal/ 📌X: https://x.com/SiamLegal 📌TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@siamlegal 📌LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/siam-legal/ 📌YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@SiamLegal
