FAQ
Do Italian nationals pay Thai tax if they stay under 180 days?
No — you are not a Thai tax resident. Only Thai-sourced income (e.g. rental from a Thai condo, salary from a Thai employer) is taxable.
What does IBC License start at?
From 7% VAT — fixed quote before we start.
How long does it take?
30–60 at กรมสรรพากร / BOI once documents are complete.
How does the Thailand-Italy DTT actually reduce my tax?
We obtain the Certificate of Residence from the Revenue Department, then you file it with the Italy tax authority to credit the Thai tax already paid — up to 100% of the overlap.
Can this be done while I'm overseas?
Yes — sign a POA + courier documents via DHL. We file and return the receipts.
