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

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
