Working in Thailand
Discussion
Howdy
Can anyone give me some help on what the state of play is working "on contract" in Thailand please?
The situation is recruitment agent (who seem legit to me, I've no reason to suspect they're not) recruiting for oil company.
All very early stages but the end client want to know an all inclusive day rate (taking into account 37% personal tax, accomm, travel, subsistence (though mob and demob costs are offered separately apparently)).
I guess part of my query is; how does contracting work over there, what's the usual approach?
Will the 37% be the only tax I pay or is there an equivalent of corporation tax on top? (I understand there are other taxes like VAT)
Any help will be very gratefully received.

Thanks very, very much for the info.
You're right that I don't need to consider schooling.
I'll take a look at PWC, I hadn't thought to look there so cheers.
Rents appear.. Variable... To say the least, but I need to research more.
I doubt this is going anywhere but I'd leap at the chance if it could.
Thanks again

This place comes up trumps again.
I've not given you guys much to work with only because I don't know much myself however I'll elaborate as much as I can.
Role appears to be based in Bangkok itself and it'll be office based, I'm fairly sure I know who with and it's a v large oil co. I'll be with girlfriend but no kids.
Thanks v much guys, the fixed term contract makes total sense from what I know and makes me more at ease with the process.
I guess that was the crux of my question.
I suffer from finacialf
kwititis, so at the mere mention of tax laws and implications my head starts to swim and my eyes lose focus. It's not that it's boring, it's just that my brain genuinely seems incapable of understanding it, so if anything comes of this I will need to get my situation looked at. Suffice to say I don't think the 50 per cent tax rate comes into play...
