Why combine these five pillars in one hub?

Because a single HNW client moving to Thailand triggers all five simultaneously: tax residency starts the worldwide-income clock, crypto holdings trigger CARF reporting, an operating MNE triggers Pillar 2, an industrial group triggers CBAM, and the family wealth needs trust/foundation structuring before residency begins.

Wealth & Cross-Border Hub — Tax · Crypto · ESG · Trust · Family Office

A single, attorney-curated entry point for HNW/UHNW individuals and family offices navigating Thailand's worldwide-income regime, BEPS Pillar 2, CRS/CARF reporting, EU CBAM, and pre-immigration / pre-IPO trust structuring.

Quick Answer

This hub consolidates five interlocking pillars our notary–attorney team handles every week: tax residency triggers under Revenue Code § 41, crypto and tokenised wealth under Thai SEC + EU MiCA + OECD CARF, BEPS Pillar 2 global minimum tax & MAP/APA dispute resolution, ESG / carbon credit / CBAM compliance, and Family Office / Trust / Foundation structuring with HCCH Apostille (entering into force for Thailand 28 February 2027) readiness.

Thailand taxes worldwide income for ≥180-day residents from 2024 (Revenue Code § 41 + Por.161/162/722).
BEPS Pillar 2 GMT of 15% applies to MNE groups ≥ EUR 750M; Thailand enacted Top-Up Tax effective 2025.
EU CBAM full reporting from 2026 — covers cement, steel, aluminium, fertilisers, electricity, hydrogen.
CARF crypto-asset reporting begins 2027 (first exchange 2028) — affects every Thai-resident crypto holder.
Singapore 13O/13U Family Office + DIFC/ADGM Foundations + LTR Wealth Visa form the canonical pre-immigration stack.

Frequently Asked — Wealth & Cross-Border

Why combine these five pillars in one hub?: Because a single HNW client moving to Thailand triggers all five simultaneously: tax residency starts the worldwide-income clock, crypto holdings trigger CARF reporting, an operating MNE triggers Pillar 2, an industrial group triggers CBAM, and the family wealth needs trust/foundation structuring before residency begins.
Which pillar should I start with?: Tax Residency 180-Day / CRS / DTA — it defines the timeline. Every other pillar's reporting and structuring deadline is anchored to the day you become a Thai tax resident.
Do you coordinate with Singapore, Dubai, and EU counsel?: Yes. Our cross-border desk works with Singapore (VCC, 13O/13U), Dubai (DIFC, ADGM), Switzerland (PPLI), and EU (MiCA, CBAM, DAC6/DAC8) counsel under a single engagement letter.
Is notarisation required for trust deeds and family charters?: For Thailand use and for HCCH Apostille (entering into force for Thailand 28 February 2027), yes — notarisation by a Thai Notarial Services Attorney + MFA legalization is the standard path for cross-border enforceability.
