Concur. I'm in exactly the same situation as yourself. workplace and state pension, minus exemptions and deductions, I too will have no tax to pay. With the possible state of confusion and lack of English language speakers at the RD, I Hope to be applying for a TIN and filing a tax return in the new year.

i believe the RD will be extremely busy from 02 January. I wonder how many Thai/Eng translators they've taken on board.

You didn't mention this in your initial post ', so anything I bring in has already had substantial tax paid in Australia' which now puts a different light on your foreign income although I believe that obtaining a TIN is a must, whether or not you file a tax return. We'll have to wait and see what transpires.

Shouldn't that have read 'I have no intention getting a TIN, and will not do so until I'm dragged off to the county jail'.

What the article doesn't mention is that the cop pointed the gun at a security guard https://x.com/ThaiEnquirer/status/1868953227947126950

Your understanding of Thai tax has been helpful to many members on this forum including myself. It's certain members, such as EK, that should be ignored. GL

And your response also made me laugh. If these so called checkpoints want to catch drink drivers then they should set one up in the province where I am. They would have a field day. Try to think a little more, if that’s possible.

All the years I have been residing in Thailand, I've never seem a checkpoint. Are they only set up at certain places and times? Some of these posts do make me laugh.

Thanks again for your response CM, that's what I thought. A trip to the IR next year, that's for sure.
