Income tax: rules are different for different countries of origin, you need to look if your country has a double taxation agreement with Thailand before looking further. Then you can google it....

I am aware of a business tax paid twice a year by Thai Business owners, is this what you are talking about?

Yes, in order to have an income tax, your income has to be reported to the GVT in some manner.  My work income is reported by my company to the GVT, taxes automatically taken out, and you have to file to get any owed return.   

I am unaware of anything comparible in Thailand where Businesses report employee wages as I coordinate with my wife to ensure we are in compliance with Thai Law. 


But then Nookie always knows more than the rest of us.

3.1       Taxable Persons
 
Taxpayers are classified into “resident” and “non-resident”. “Resident” means any person residing in Thailand for a period or periods aggregating more than 180 days in any tax (calendar) year. A resident of Thailand is liable to pay tax on income from sources in Thailand as well as on the portion of income from foreign sources that is brought into Thailand. A non-resident is, however, subject to tax only on income from sources in Thailand.
