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

I won't be answering any further questions on this tax . Bored of it. I'll take my chances.

Thank you. I will now tell you what happened. He filled in the wrong columns. Different columns on the computer for different stats, as in those bringing in assessable income and pensions income etc He then smiled and said he had filled in the wrong columns and didn't get it why, after three hours, I was a tad unhappy. He showed my partner the computer and where he had done it wrong. Furthermore, he didn't know what he was doing. The senior officer at another desk just continued talking on his phone and ignoring us. He actually told me now I was in the system, he would rather I did it myself online.

That is my final word on the subject. Everybody else on here can do as they think fit I am not doing this anymore

I already produced bank statements. They had them from the other day. There was four in the office. Nobody else filing. I was there three hours. He then realized he had entered my information in the wrong columns.So, a load of time wasted and he had to start again. I was not feeling brilliant, so I said I'll come back again before March finishes. I wasn't got to sit another three hours. Simple as this. I've got my full details, I know I owe nothing. I'll keep them at home and if anybody comes I have them. I completely refuse now to listen to people on this board saying this that and the other, when quite simply it isn't true. All this doom and gloom and these in Thailand are just not geared for these tax changes

There is no DTA in my case. I am not old enough for a pension. My money is pure savings from businesses in Thailand and the UK prior to 2024, with tax paid.

Well they started it, I was happy paying nothing.😆

I am referring only to the tax allowances. I provided all the documents.

One word about the officials I am dealing with today. clueless

Hi, I totally agree. I am clued on this and they aren't. It has been a Comedy of errors. He told me to marry my partner and that would bring my assessment down. Marry her, I don't even fu''ing like her! There is no assessment, I know it. Then he said I owed 5,000 baht, then he forgot my health insurance allowance. It's been a complete F@@k up. On their part. I don't owe anything, and he isn't trained or clued-up enough to know that. I am back there at 1pm.

Thanks, One thing for sure, I won't get stressed any more about this despite all the AN opinionated experts on here.

Comment appreciated, you could well be right.

Both languages. My Thai is well capable of discussing tax issues.

I left it with the Buddhist holiday, they don't like to be pushed. I'll gently ask them today, now they are back at work, and report back to the board the result.

Hi, I don't think I have assessable income, because the money is from savings prior to 2024. I have no pensions, I am not old enough. Thai allowances I am entitled to something like 430,000 baht . I cannot fully update, I haven't forgotten, however the senior officer took my phone numbers and said ' Leave it with him ' and he will phone me. I really don't want to sit in their office as though I am impatient. It's Thailand, they do things in their own sweet time.

I think I STRONGLY agree with all that above. Well said

Who knows. Amazing Thailand, I suppose.

That is happening. They sat smiling, it wasn't a Somchai, it was two women. I told the senior officer that I needed documents returned and proof that he accepted my documents in the form of some kind of receipt. Let's see what he says later today. However, I did say to you, I had done all the bits and pieces to prove everything, I just wasn't going to submit them. I intended to hold them in a file at the house. I'll do that anyway.
