K bank E-mail with Tax Forms attached ?

[Gimmi]

Hi everyone.

I have a Thai TIN because I live here and pay taxes, but I also pay taxes in my country of origin (European) for income produced there.

in addition to TIN Thai I also have to write that of my country?

Because on page 2 it asks if I also pay taxes in another countries other Thailand and usa.

thank you.

Have any US citizens received the KBank email?

 

It appears the emails are being sent mostly to non-US citizens.

One of the problems that could result from completing these forms from Kasikorn is for those UK citizens who are receiving State Pension and have not notified the UK authorities that they are living in Thailand.

So they are committing benefits fraud qed are committing crimes. Exactly how is it relevant to the Thai authorities/banks.

 

That HMRC and HMPO are not chasing them doesn’t make them less criminal.

A crime by omission is no less criminal.

 

Are you suggesting that they should say to the Thai bank/authorities that “because I want to commit fraud I should not have to complete your form“?

 

maybe now you see exactly how ridiculous the idea is?

Because you inform the Thai bank of your UK TIN, doesn't mean the UK bank automatically receives your Thai TIN

 It asks are you a 'resident' for tax purposes. I am not resident in my home country and have told the tax authorities so, but I do pay tax on income in that country, so I would tick 'no'

The TIN for British nationals tends to be the 'National Insurance Number' - I have only ever used that in the past but I am going back a long time here, like 15 to 20 years

If you complete a UK tax return (or other documents) you'll have a UTR. Unique Tax Reference Number which would be too be equivalent. I don't know if you might have such a number otherwise too.

As relevant as the drivel I replied to

Find your UTR via.  tax.service.gov.uk

Uk citizen staying in Bangkok.  I don't think Kbank has my email address, so I'm waiting to see if I'll receive anything in the post. Either way I'll visit Kbank next week. Would be good if others give feedback after their visit to the bank.

What happens, if I don't comply? (Currently, I am unable to get a "true, certified passport copy".)

Too much, I suppose, to expect the TRD to adopt a similar online registration process in order to obtain a TIN!

But your UK bank may, in any event, already be aware of your Thai TIN as a result of a self-certification form (example below) they asked you to complete back in 2016 preparatory to the implementation of CRS in the UK!
