I know, that's why I posted that comment, it wasn't a question.

And the same rules apply for the export of foreign currency, USD15k or more, or other currencies in excess of THB 450k in value. 

Great answer to a question that no one asked.

You're most welcome. Did you notice that I also posted a supporting quote and link as proof, is that quality or what. :))

"BRINGING CURRENCY INTO OR OUT OF THAILAND

Failure to declare upon bringing currency that exceeds the amount restricted by law or its equivalent out of or into Thailand or making any false declaration to a Customs Officer is a criminal offence.

More than that mentioned amount, you have to declare to a Customs Officer or exchange to others currency before depart from Thailand".

It would have been better if it was up to date and accurate.

Ah, too bad LL, my link from BOT beats your link from the Thai Embassy in Singapore, sorry. But nice try though.

My guess would be, they save it up, until tax has to be paid in the specific time of tax paying.

In the meantime, they will give you even a tax ID and then you need to pay.

All banks are in it and shift over registration of the amounts from abroad from everybody.

Wait for the envelope, which will surprise you then.

You know how governments work, they always try to surprise with negative outcome for you.

No one knows now how they would do it, secret surprise.

Just the same as changing the elite visa. They let you know, you can anticipate in time and then changed.

Making it extreme expensive.

 

My guess is that nothing will happen that didn't already happen years ago when you brought taxable income in from abroad in the same year you earned it. 

 

Except now every year is the 'same' year. 

 

Perhaps now we know the Thai meaning of 'same same'.   

Q: Is next year the same as the current (i.e., same) year?

A: Yes, same same.

I have a Bangkok Bank account.  I just transferred over a large amount from my USA bank using Wise in late December and notice a Tax line item on my bank statement about a week later for about .3% of the that amount but not sure it's related.

Did the amount paid / withdrawn / withheld have a name?  Did you ask Bangkok Bang about it?

Did you also have a line saying "Int" or similar? Because that sounds more like tax withheld on any interest paid.

I would say 99.9% nothing to do with your remittance unless some sort of standard fee.

Ah you may be right.. it was posted after a large Interest payment.. so the tax was on that i suspect.

No way could this tax on remitted funds evolve to work the same way, unless one files and declares, it's just impossible, TiT and all.   

if i took a personal loan out in another country (e.g. a loan against my overseas property), and then I transfer the loaned cash into a thai bank account, should i expect that i owe taxes on the money to the TRD? my naive understanding is no.

should i anticipate i will have any issues? do i need to disclose or prove where the money came from?

Yes, and another other than that is a bonus.

Thanks for responding

As I have said before, assessible income, non assessable income, pre 2024 savings, DTA's, loans, credit cards blah blah blah blah.

 

In my opinion, the TRD staff will not care, or for that matter, know much about any of it.  

 

Implementation could be as simple as you remitted X amount, you owe us Y amount, after any deductions.  

 

Refuse to pay, and no certificate from the TRD, which I predict will be needed at some stage for your extension. 

 

Time will tell.
