Thailand Crypto Capital Gains Tax Rate
15% withholding on gains (revenue department ruling)
Thailand's Revenue Department applies a 15% withholding tax on capital gains from cryptocurrency trading by individuals, pursuant to a 2022 ruling that classified digital asset profits as assessable income under the Revenue Code. The tax applies to net gains realised in each tax year. In practice, enforcement has been uneven: licensed exchanges are required to withhold and remit the tax, but peer-to-peer and offshore exchange transactions remain difficult to audit. Thailand has discussed — but not yet enacted — a specific Digital Asset Tax Act that would simplify the regime and extend it to staking income. The 15% rate is among the lower crypto CGT rates in Asia, compared to Japan's 20–55% marginal rate.
