Introduction to Personal Income Tax in Thailand

So basically a souped-up version of the attached self-certification form which my UK bank required me to complete back in 2016, then.

 

I had something similar to fill in earlier this year wity two different Canadian financial institutions.

 

I simply replied with the truth in the form that  they had me fill out (which they accepted), which was my Pink-ID # (same number is on the Yellow Book) might become my Tax-ID, with the written caveat that my Thai TIN is not yet activated (there is lots of room in the form to succinctly add that detail).

 

I confirmed that information PRIOR with a phone chat with the Thailand Revenue Department (Phuket branch) who noted I did not qualify for a Thai TIN (despite my spending >180 days/year in Thailand as I was not bringing money into Thailand and because I had no Thai income).   The RD official advised that my Pink-ID # "might" become my 'online Thai tax-ID' ONLY AFTER it was activated as such. But the Phuket branch RD official advised I did not qualify for such a Thai TIN to be activated at present time.

 

This is all 100% legal and it is the truth.

 

The two Canadian financial institutions were more than happy to receive that information.

Where in either this new link or the previous one does it state, as you previously posted;

"Every foreigner with a Thai bank account will get the forms soon, unless they have opened an account recently and have already filled them in"?

Stop making up scaremongering statements unless you can provide and highlight an ACCURATE source!

Give it a rest Scottie, it's very clear that everyone is going to get one, just as UK expats did when the UK joined.

No! You give up that the following statement is true;

When are you going to give it a rest and either provide proof of your statement or admit you made it up!

Perhaps you may want to have a read of the attached link - you could start at page 21 if you like.

Whilst it may not quote the statement you seem to be obsessed about it will show the clear intent and what all Thai financial entities are supposed to do if they haven't done already.

 

Timescales and action are always more fluid here but similar is likely to happen for all those Thai entities that fall under the scope outlined.

My UK offshore account has been asking me about TINS for Thailand for many years as they have me with a Thai address......
