Treaties to avoid double taxation  Thailand has  treaty agreements to eliminate double  taxation  with Canada and United  States. The treaties generally place taxpayers   in a more favorable  position for Thai income than they would be under  the  Revenue Code, as  profits will only be taxable if the taxpayer has a  permanent  establishment  in Thailand.  |
