I just had an order delivered. Well happy with products and packaging delivered to Kalasin. I ordered some meats, cheeses and curries.

I had Tax ID before because I used to have Thai limited companies, I was the main shareholder, of course back in the day there was employee insurance etc, that was many years ago. However, I closed those companies down in a correct fashion through a lawyer when I became ill.. So, this time I was starting afresh after many years of zero work in Thailand. I still do some unrelated business in the UK and Cambodia. My UK income, I pay over there. My Cambodian interest is taxed at source. I don't do anything in Thailand apart from living here, and spending money which I transfer in from savings. They said I was well under the threshold of the money transferred in and the allowances I am entitled to. Not only that, but I am too young for pensions, so they were not in the equation. They used my pink card and issued a new Thai tax ID based on that.

Guys, I am offering no advice at all. I just knew I owed them nothing, and now I have a receipt to prove it.

Well, it came through on my phone. Anyway, I went and filed, they said I owed nothing and gave me the yellow tax receipt dated and stamped to prove it. I must be honest, I don't know what the hell they are doing, but some comments unnerved me on here. At least it's done and dusted.

OK Guys, Quickie for you. My phone pinged this morning and an SMS, it was Krung Thai Bank. It was an urgent message saying under the rules and regulations, I must report etc and collect my bank statements and go to the tax office blah, blah, We went straight to the tax office yet again. I produced all documents prof and evidence. This time, the senior official was in good form. I was given the official yellow tax receipt with official Garuda stamps, they said I was way under my tax allowance limit and nothing to pay. It is stamped 0.00 to pay. I have filed it at home.

Ask the Thais to join in then, but unless it's taxed at source as in hotels, VAT on goods, etc, THEY WON'T PAY IT.

Now that's what I call a ' record breaker '😆

Idiotic response.

It's bottled up rage and jealousy of foreigners. They believe we have it a lot easier than they do. They twist our words in the villages to suit their narrative, I see it, I speak the language.

Cambodia, from what I see, is foreigners generally behaving better than they do in Thailand in the Temple Town of Siem Reap, at least. Atmosphere a lot more chilled. However, there is a growing number that can't fulfil Thailand's extended or long term stay requirements that have moved down there. Those guys don't have a good word about Thailand, but they are mostly underfunded people.

WOW, Another crackdown. Trouble with news items in Thailand is they always never get followed up? I wonder why? I'm still waiting for the outcome of that American kid on one of the islands captured having sex with as horse!....🤓

We don't talk about that.....😁

I totally agree with you, and I don't get it when pathetic posters put up confused or sad emojis. Your post is clear.

I have to go along with that. But it's not the lady or man in the street with these policies, it's the elites running government.

Actually, when I was a hotelier, June and September were the quietest.

Where I live, they know me well. I am a good customer. They always say to me, there may be a bit of waiting time for your food (when they are busy) I chill, speak polite, and watch the big screen TV and listen to music. No issues. However, I live in a non-tourist area, and speak the language.

One minute you are throwing out visas and entry free all over the place and the next complaining because people come

Opinions are like arse holes We all have one.

I have better things to do with my time rather than listening to ifs, but's and why for. Any of you commenting on here are tax experts in Thailand? Nope, didn't think so.

Spot on, I've got everything in a file at my home. I've shown proof and evidence. I will retain these documents for future unforeseen circumstances.

You really are just insistent on pushing your ideas and views of things to come. You most certainly are not listening to the views of other board members. Now I listened to you, and against better judgement went and did what you said. I was greeted with ' Better do it yourself online, you are now registered in the computer '

Thanks so much for the common sense comment. It was driving me nuts. I am fine again now.

Now, after all the kerfuffle. They probably will do as u turn on this tax for foreigners, as they have got it, many are disgruntled.

SO, THAT'S HOW HE BUGGERED IT UP AND CONFUSED HIMSELF. Honestly, he basically told me to do it myself online, as I now had access, and I was registered in their computer system.

How can he enter anything when he had filled in the wrong columns? Told me basically to do it myself ONLINE as I have access now and have been registered. THREE HOURS wasted
