May 2, 20223 yr Popular Post Not sure how that happened. Only noticed by my wife today. Anyway paid for both years earlier today . Got a 10% fine … just in case anyone is interested for future reference.

The last time we were a few days late the fee was just a few Baht. Ah. I just googled and found this If you make a late payment and/or send the required document past the deadline, we will not be able to renew your annual tax on time. You will be charged by The Department of Land Transport. The late payment penalty is 1% per month of the car tax.
May 2, 20223 yr I’m going overseas for 2 years soon and will be putting the car into storage. Anything I can do before leaving to avoid the fine upon returning?

I can imagine that if you went to LTO and asked to pay in advance, you would see a lot of folk running around like headless chickens with wings-a-flapping....????

I'd be more worried about your car going in storage and still being there when you return.
May 2, 20223 yr if your car is still new that it does not require the annual inspection, you can pay for the road tax online and they send the receipt and tax disc(square) to your address. even if it needs the annual inspection, you can pay online after you have taken the car to the inspection place, not possible if you are out of the country obviously

It will have it’s 6th & 7th birthday whilst in storage. I think I read somewhere that inspections kick-in after the 5th. Correct?

So I guess I will just have to pay for 2 years of back-taxes (plus fines) upon returning to the kingdom. So no biggie, hopefully…

So no biggie, hopefully… If the car is less than 7 years old you could just give the blue book to a friend and they can pay the tax for you with the book alone (actually just a copy of the book should be sufficient)

May 31, 20223 yr It is also worth noting that I have seen tax-stamp "inspections" on the Rama9 motorway going into Bangkok from the direction of the airport the last time I went through. Beware....

Get someone to renew the tax and insurance for you before your return. Probably need some paperwork from you but I am sure it can be done
