Has anyone, other than those working here or with locally derived income, paid any tax? Every tax office trip report seems to result in zero tax paid.

You probably could look up the PNR on the issuing airline's website, with your last name and get the breakout.

Thanks. I'm wondering if anyone, not working in Thailand and 'affected' by this new rule/interpretation, has paid any tax? I don't read every thread by 100 % of those I've read always result in zero tax paid.

China may have some higher fee/tax. Need to see the breakout with codes.

And they also use this "calendar" which IME is accurate and correct.

Yes, of course. They change hundreds of times each day: currency changes. But AoT doesn't want to split out the 300 baht. If they did, this would have happened already. I think the total PSC is now 750 PSC 700 TS International Departure Fee 15 G8 APPS Service fee 35 E7

Nepo Baby.

This has proven to be a stumbling block for the years that Thailand has wanted to add a tourist tax. Airlines/Rez Systems are reluctant to add yet another line item, and collect/remit the funds, in a hundred different curencies. If they increase the 700 baht fee to 1,000 then AoT will have to cough up 300 baht, they don't want to do this. I think they can get the TDAC system to price in the 300 baht for non-thais.

Thanks for this valuable nugget. So your Thai RD office deemed the sum total of your transfers associated with your SSA benefit to be "NON-ACCESSIBLE" income? And therefore you or they did not include it on your tax return? Example: monthly benefit $2,000, annual $24,000, transferred a total of $25,000. And if I could ask you (or others) to speculate; if you had transferred more than the sum total of your SSA benefit - $25,000, would just that overage, $1,000 be considered "Accessible" Income? Or would any overage throw the total into the Accessible income bucket? I think know the answer, but I'm never sure here. Yes, the $1,000 could be pre-2024 savings, and is obviously below the taxable thresholds. A minor aside...Did RD look at your gross benefit (pre-tax) or net (post-tax) benefit total, if you had any withholding?

Yes, Thailand new number 1 export. Highly profitable. Although I'm questioning the nearly 9 BILLION USD (over five years) figure. Sounds like an NFL contract, without the signing bonus.

Yes, that is the proper configuration if you want to use GV behind a VPN.

How quaint.

Do you have a network-wide VPN or are you running it on one device? Is that the same device that is running Google Voice? What is "SF"? The VPN target city? Again, if it's working just carry on.

It depends on your network configuration. Where are you running your VPN? That said, if it works carry on.

They did say the TDAC would be free, but that was last week. Charging 300 baht for TDAC solves the collection issue, and the issue of not charging Thais. But maybe they'll hold the 300 baht fee for the ETA? The thirst for a 10.5 Billion baht slush fund, managed by the Minister of Tourism and Sport is palpable.

Let's all agree that the elimination of fraud is a good thing. https://oig.ssa.gov/assets/uploads/a-06-21-51022.pdf

Nothing wrong with being Number 2.

Can you share the bank name? When did you first notice this change? There has been a crackdown, particularly on foreign-owned accounts which may be "mule" accounts. So various banks have implemented new procedures re: "Know Your Customer". https://thainews.prd.go.th/nbtworld/news/view/886333/?bid=1 Currently many banks require that phone number name matches account name, that the current passport is scanned and on record, that a separate photo is made and on record, and that a facial scan is made and on record. https://www.bangkokbank.com/en/Personal/Tips-and-Insights/DepositCashviaATM https://www.bangkokbank.com/en/Personal/Tips-and-Insights/ I'd suggest you stop by the Bank/Branch's customer service department and verify that all documentary requirements are satisfied.
