"What happens for you or me or someone else today, may not happen for anyone tomorrow -- or maybe for only one of us. Still TIT." Some years ago when I was working in Thailand . . . An external accountant used by my employing school prepared tax returns for all of the foreign teachers, funded by the school. The accountant came up with a B40,000 refund for me. I subsequently got a letter from the tax office, sent to the school, asking that I go to a meeting. At that meeting, I was given 2 documents. One listed half a dozen or so additional documents that I would need to supply in order to advance my claim for a B40,000 refund. I recall that some of the items being requested were irrelevant, some I would need to get from my school and some I would need to get from my bank. The other document was a waiver of my right to claim the B40,000 refund. I was told that if I signed, my tax return would be immediately finalized. I signed the document. TIT!
