Thailand Crypto Tax — Check What You Owe
Good news many people miss: since 2025, gains from selling crypto through Thai SEC-licensed exchanges are exempt from personal income tax. Trade through foreign exchanges or P2P, though, and progressive tax still applies. Pick your channel below.
Gains from selling crypto through Thai SEC-licensed operators are exempt from personal income tax from Jan 1, 2025 to Dec 31, 2029 (Ministerial Regulation No. 399, B.E. 2568).
Conditions: individuals only, and the transaction must occur on a Thai-licensed exchange/broker/dealer. Mining income, staking rewards, and airdrops are NOT covered by this exemption.
Thai crypto tax rules in brief (updated July 2026)
- Sold via Thai SEC-licensed exchange/broker/dealer: personal income tax exempt from Jan 1, 2025 to Dec 31, 2029 (Ministerial Regulation No. 399, B.E. 2568)
- Sold via foreign exchanges / P2P / private transfers: not covered by the exemption — assessable income under Section 40(4), declared in the annual return (PND 90). Losses from these channels cannot offset gains.
- Mining, staking, airdrops: not covered by the exemption and taxed under different rules — get case-specific advice
- Foreign-sourced income rule: if you stay in Thailand 180+ days a year, foreign-sourced gains (including profits on offshore exchanges) generally become taxable when remitted into Thailand — this area is complex

Frequently asked questions
›Is crypto trading taxable in Thailand (2026)?
If you sell through a Thai SEC-licensed exchange/broker/dealer (e.g. Bitkub, Binance TH), gains are exempt from personal income tax from Jan 1, 2025 to Dec 31, 2029 under Ministerial Regulation No. 399. Selling via foreign exchanges or P2P is still taxed at progressive rates.
›How are gains on Bybit or other foreign exchanges taxed?
They don't qualify for the exemption — gains are assessable income under Section 40(4), taxed progressively at 0-35%, and losses from these channels cannot offset gains. For Thai tax residents (180+ days/year), foreign-sourced gains generally become taxable when remitted into Thailand.
›Are staking rewards and mining income also exempt?
No — the exemption covers only gains from selling through licensed operators. Mining, staking rewards, and airdrops are taxed under separate rules; get case-specific professional advice.
