This means that if you buy rental property in Thailand and it makes a profit, then you'll have to declare that income here in New Zealand as well as in Thailand.
Secondly, there is a Double Tax Agreement between Thailand and New Zealand, so tax paid in each country is taken into account. How does it work then? If you own property in Thailand in your personal name then you'd be required to file for it there, and then declare the income here as well. NZ would calculate the tax paid there, and what should have been paid here. If there is a difference in your contra, then you'll have to pay the difference to IRD. If the difference is in your favour, then you don't get a tax credit: you just won’t have to pay any more. Thailand Tax Information Corporate income tax rates:

Info sourced from: http://www.kpmg.com/Global/en/services/Tax/regional-tax-centers/asia-pacific-tax-centre/Documents/CountryProfiles/Thailand.pdf Our conclusions So, you’d need to get advice from a Thailand-based accountant obviously, but a Thai company would pay between 20-23% tax, and then a 12.5% property tax on top. However, as it is all in THB this still may be relatively low in NZD. So this may well be the best way to go.
