Many of the statements are invalid or not justified, the TRD doesn't require anyone to obtain a TIN until specific criteria are met, not just tax residency but also remittance of assessable income. And completing a Thai tax form does not automatically mean paying for assistance, it's easily done by the average person or with some help from TRD staff.

 

I think some of the international tax accounting firms will be holding meetings.  You should also check with the embassies to see how they read this.  

 

If I have to pay here then I don't have to pay in Canada that is okay with me.  Cheaper here.

No thanks, and any tax return forms will go in the bin. No taxation without representation, or at least something back for it.

Yes, I'm with you there. Tip a load of fish sauce into the Chaopraya in protest!

The first and most important thing the Finance Ministry should clear now is, how it would work with the DTA (Double Tax Agrteement). That would save us, the falangs, a lot of time and money, too.

 

But i am afraid that they are working for the interests of the Thai tax compies and persons to earn more money and  getting richer becvause of all their working for the falangs tax declarations. And that means more tea money for the officers, too!

As a pensioner in Thailand, I can't do anything as long as I'm only given so little information by the Thai tax authorities! Are they too lazy to provide reliable information or are they simply incompetent?🤪

Just another company trying to get clients.

Preying on the ex pats who believe all that they read.

I cannot get away with telling you my true opinion of these businesses.

Deserves to have his office burnt down, but I doubt he has one .  Probably no landline either, enough said

I have over 30 million baht of properties in Thailand, of which I pay yearly property tax. I pay UK income tax even though I left the UK 19 years ago, there is no way am I going to pay more income tax to the Thai government , if I have to I will divide my time between the Philippines and Thailand and share what wealth I have between the two countries . I am fortunate as my sister in law is from the Philippines the family will always accommodate me if need be.

Carden clarified that only overseas income transferred to Thailand is relevant for taxation.

I thought I read recently in Asean Now that income generated outside will be taxed regardless of where or not any of it was transferred to Thailand. Maybe that only applied to Thais and not foreign residents.

Question 1... does saving count as income if transferred from overseas account into a Thai account.. technically savings are not income.

Question 2... how do you get around the 160 day limit.

You get around the limit by leaving the country after 182 days. Come back another year.
