The bank insisted that it must be a COR from immigration.

That is non sense.

The staff make up this non sense bcoz they cannot/ dont want to speak English.

SCB is particularly <deleted>ty in this regard.

Careful spouting off on stuff you might or might not know anything about @DrJoy,

Simply exiting on an ED visa extension DOES NOT officially cancel the extension (no matter what you posted saying otherwise)

I have only stated whats on the immigration website-

Re-entry Permit

An alien who is permitted to stay in the Kingdom temporarily, if traveling out of the Kingdom without making Re-entry, it will be considered that the permission to stay in the Kingdom is terminated.

True(ish), it is invalidated but not cancelled, but if you ever want another extension again, there will be major problems if you have not cancelled the previous extension

Won’t it cancel when I exit Thailand?

If you exit Thailand without a re entry permit, your extension of stay is automatically cancelled.

or are Thai's also going to be taxed on foreign funds from Jan. 1st?

Any human, who stays in Thailand for more than 180 days in a year is deemed to be a Tax resident of Thailand.

The Thai revenue dept does not specify any nationality/citizenship in the tax law.

I think it has to show that the income has to be from outside Thailand 

Not necessary.

Salary of 40k baht and above is accepted from a Thai company.

WP, salary letter, 3 months Thai tax payments, company registration is required

I've given SCB my Thai tax ID so I don't have any tax withheld

Even if u have given them your TIN, you can earn only 20K thb per year

If the interest touches even 20,001 thb, then tax rate becomes 100 %

You will have to file PND 90 to get it back

A bit of a caution - you will have to declare all your income/savings /investments to the revenue department to be able to file PND 90 , to get your interest back

The GSB Goverment Savings Bank seems to be popular though does anybody know anyjthing about them there website is useless or at least the English version

Be warned, as a foreigner you cannot use their (GSB) mobile application, as it requires a Thai national ID card number only.

It cannot be activated with a Passport number 

There were report on this forum that someone was able to get the application working with their Foreigners Pink card and House Book.

Please check with the branch first before opening with GSB

Works for some, not for others

Your Thai TIN has to be updated in the Banks software instead of your Passport number

Look at  @Pib post from 2019. He has explained it in detail.

From @Pib 2019 post -

What they recode is a specific data field in your account record called "Tax Pointer" which has the following 5 possible settings for various types of accounts.  I was recoded from 005 to 001.

001 = 0 or 15% which means 0% tax withholding on Bt20K or less interest earned/year OR 15% when over Bt20K interest earned/year. 

002 = 0%

003 = 1%

004 = 10%

005 = 15%

I have accounts at both SCB and Bangkok Bank, annually earn less than 20k baht on each account, and they withhold the 15% of interest paid every time interest is paid.  That's the way it's been for years.

Nope.

If u provide them (Banks) with your Thai TIN , there is no tax deducted for THB 20,000/- each year

Thats the way its been for years.
