Do you mean 10% of three days worth or 10% of the annual fee. 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.

Nemises Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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....???? 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be more worried about your car going in storage and still being there when you return. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digbeth Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 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 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will have it’s 6th & 7th birthday whilst in storage. I think I read somewhere that inspections kick-in after the 5th. Correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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) Edited May 3, 2022 by FriendlyFarang 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yellowtail Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 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.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably need some paperwork from you but I am sure it can be done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
