If she filled ut the PND 90 form in the computer, then she probably already filed the tax return for you and what he gave you was a print out from the system. One of the last steps when filing electronically is to have an OTP sent to your phone, which is then entered into the system. Did that happen? I can't imagine that she wouldn't have completed the process, as long as you showed her the tax deduction form from the bank.

 

Everything is entered into the computer, you don't leave any documentation at the Revenue Department. That said, before issuing a refund the Revenue Department can call you in and ask  for the documentation, that happened to me last year (I believe) because there was a new boss at the local revenue office.

Yeah she seemed to have done all that, but no OPT sent to phone. The problem is the bank who cannot create a prompt pay for me as no thai ID and they cannot do from a phone number or passport. Why they have to do it if the refund comes from the revenue I don't understand.

How long does the battery in a 'normal' watch last?.........One, two years.

Why pay for a solar powered one, which can only charge up for 12 hours a day max anyway.

Solar powered are really rechargable batteries and will need replacing, at least they used to be. My citizen eco drive lasted about 9 years, new capacitor battery about 1k baht. Cheaper to buy normal but the mrs is getting me a Casio solar one for birthday, see how long that lasts, might outlive me!

You can't get the tax back from the bank, all they can do is stop deduction of any future tax. You get the tax back by filing an income tax return (PND 90/91) with the Revenue  Department, and after a few weeks they will send you a letter with the tax refund. You take the letter to Krung Thai Bank to get your refund.

 

You can file your tax return online here, or you can go in person to the Revenue Department with the tax deduction form you got from Krungsri Bank. The Revenue Department is generally quite happy to help with the filing (i.e. they will enter all the information into the system for you).

just looked at the papers, the revenue office woman filled out the 90 form but gave them us them and told us to take to the bank this was the boss there, so they should be left at the revenue office?

That is what I said at the tax office, over ridden by the mrs, thanks for that mate marvelous you can't get a straight answer from bank or revenue office but have to rely on another foreigner on the internet

when mrs was head of the village committee a resident brought a letter somebody had sent him complaining about his barking dogs and he wanted her to find out who sent it. He explained he only had two small dogs and they never went out.

I walked past his house latter to have a look and had to check the address twice- two big Dobbermans in a cage hardly big enough to stand up in and going crazy- strange how people make excuses for them, normally it's all dogs bark, what about all the others etc

Thought might as well get a tax number to stop tax being deducted, not that it's a lot and claim a refund. Went to the bank got a statement of interest, off to the revenue office. Thought if there were any problems it would be here, not so they were really helpful and got a tax number after about 20 mins, even though at first they did say needed a WP which I don't have.

Back to the bank (Krungsri) and hand over the tax card, photocopies signed then they decided they could not do it after all and refunds can only be done through farmers bank and krungthai bank! They suggested opening a krungthai account then they could link it, gave up trying to understand at this point but went off to find a krungthai bank- cannot open account without a wp!

Then I remembered a letter from krungsri head office when all this started, it implies that both Thais and foreigners will be stopped interest on less than 20k, but apparently this is only for foreigners, or so the Mrs claims. But it clearly says to get the deduction stopped take the tax number in. Not sure if they will even stop tax deductions now they have the number registered. So it seem you can only get tax back from 2 banks.

Yes one of the worst things about living here. On SIL posh sansiri estate some guy decided it was his right to keep 30 dogs yapping all day, we only have about 15 at it around our house, why have a dog of they are out at work 12 hours a day. they have nothing to guard of any value anyway

I think that's to get a male convicted of rape

The house book and pink ID card have nothing to do with immigration, either you understood something wrong or the IO just told you something wrong.

That would not be a first, years ago I was told by an irate IO that they did not really do extensions there and to go to Suan Phlu immigration office office in Bkk, where I did not even live at the time!

I last bought this about 5 years ago (TINDOL) but now pharmacies only want to sell it as a 37.5mg/325mg paracetamol combination.
 
Is this now standard or can I still get the pure 50mg anywhere?  (not in a hospital and without prescription).

I can only seem to find ultracet same combination, never heard of Anadol, is it the same combo? Ultracet is a bit pricey. Oh just read the label 50mg, will try and get some Anadol next time

confusing then, transferred income is taxable but they just don't/can't do it yet?

So if you are not employed and apply for a tax number they can start taxing you 15% on money you transfer into the country from whatever source? Never knew that.

When in Rome....

Embrace the culture....

The Romans crucified people and threw unwanted babies on the Tarpien rock, not a culture to embrace, nor is the Thai one of infidelity, cheating and lies.

The final nail in the coffin of this once great place. But... won't happen anyhow in this lifetime. Keep on rocking...

The only time it was a great place was when it really was a fishing village. Sex tourist mega attractions with the associated crime, drugs, disease and exploitation are never 'great'.

There was some problem with the app even when you got the password it would not work. Mrs went into a (packed) Krungthai bank waited 2 hours and the woman there managed to do it

something arrived last week in Bkk for us from the midlands- posted on Dec 8th!
