Taxes ?

[Aforek]

Hello, I have received a letter named " ภงด90 "; I suppose it's to declare my revenues for last year

the problem is last year I got a tax return from a fixed deposit and now they know me; The letter is in Thai, it seems very complicated ; is there the same in English somewhere ? ; and I am retired, so  there is the double tax agreement with my country , but last year they didn't even seem to know what it is 

in fact, I am not taxed in my country, because my pension is low , and I wonder if they will accept that I don't pay any tax in my country  , maybe they will ask me to  pay  for the money that I have transfered to Thailand 

I just transfer money when I need, to my Thai account, but I wonder if they are able to understand that ; it's in Prachinburi province, not many retired expats here, and maybe they are not used to deal with people in my situation

I think I shall go and see them, because, first I don't know how to fill the document and really I don't think I have to pay any taxes here

any suggestion ? thanks

That form 90 was mailed as a courtesy since you filed a tax return/refund last year....in case you need to file again.  if you have no reason to file a return this year....like requesting a refund of tax withheld from bank account interest interest....don't worry about.

Thanks to be here and know the form 90 because it's very difficult to know the use of it ; I showed it to two Thai people and they stayed a long time to look at it, trying to understand what it is ; they should translate their documents in English  , because I really thought it means that I have taxes to pay !  ; so, I don't have anything to do ...

last year, they really wanted that I pay taxes, I even spoke with the boss ; maybe they know for Thai, but for retired farangs, they don't seem to know everything ; after many  discussions last year, they accepted to send me my refund without asking  me to pay taxes 

it's always easier to deal with administration which is used to foreigners

Download the form (and other tax forms) "in English" from the Thai Revenue Dept website.

I know this sound stupid. But I have a friend that always looks for a bar girl at the Sukhumvit soi 7 club, and always finds someone with fluent English to help him for a few hundred baht. As a last resort, that is your option.

 

Or, my suggestion is to put on your best smile and show the papers to someone at Siam Paragon. I have never been refused when asking directions.

Why would he need to do that?

don't worry about.  

I and many others have had the same and having asked at the tax office now I just ignore them.
