TIL Up until now, Swiss pensioners in Thailand did not have to pay any taxes on their AHV.

The Swiss abroad must now pay taxes on their AHV pensions in Thailand. This was the result of clarifications provided by the local authorities regarding the new tax law. This has been in force since the beginning of the year.

Many of the 10,400 or so Swiss expats who will be living in Thailand by the end of 2023 have called for help to clarify the situation.

As a reminder, the tax reform drawn up by the Thai government stipulates that since January 1, 2024, resident foreigners, i.e. those staying in Thailand for at least 180 days a year, have had to pay tax on foreign income transferred to the country.
