I recommend people tell the truth. If one is required to file a tax return, then file it.
But don't go file a tax return when not needed, becsusr one was bamboozled by a paranoid poster who ignores RoyalDecrees, ignores Ministerial Directives, and ignores DTAs. Those documents too need to be considered.
But if one is lazy to read such, then go to one's local RD office, with all one's financial info, with a copy of the relevant DTA ( highlighting relevant section governing one's foreign income) and let them decide. Note there are 61 different DTAs, so don't just show up without the DTA and expect the RD official to know the answers off of the top of their head.
I was thinking a referendum but the military-legislated Political Act may severely limit freedom of public speech as it did for the 2018 referendum on the proposed new constitution.
I have a Government Service Lifetime Pension that is specifically mentioned in the Australian Thai DTA and is only assessable in Australia.
Why will I be redirected to the TRD at time of next 5 year LTR stamp? Who will direct me there? BOI who have told me my income is tax exempt? Please elaborate?
As the Tax Officials and Carl Turner noted in the video posted earlier this morning there is simply no need to get a TIN and lodge a return if there is no “assessable income”. As I noted in my post which you question:
1. My remittances are from pre 2024 savings (bank statements printed and readily accessible online for the next 10 years).
2. My Government Service Pension is specifically mentioned in the Australian Thai DTA as not being assessable in Thailand.
3. I held an LTR Visa for the period which according to Royal Decree 743 excludes remitted income from taxation.
So cobber I’m pretty comfortable in not wasting mine and the Thai RDs time.
Everyone however is different including your good self.
PS if you do own 10 rental properties outside of Thailand might pay you to do some research on the LTR Visa. Might save you a quid.
How will they know that, in a "self assessment" system?
As posted, foreigners are not Somchai up in the village. We have to remain legal here, or we are out.
