Years ago, my local tax office told me that, since I had no income from Thailand, there was no need to register for income tax. I left it at that.

 

Now, things are different and it's remittances into Thailand that are considered. I remit money into Thailand (of course) so I'll try to register.

 

My query - if I go to the local tax office and am again told, for whatever reason, that registration isn't necessary yet one day in the future the TRD says "You didn't register and now you owe LOTS of back taxes", what proof would I have that I attempted to register and was refused? Tax evasion is a serious offence and maybe non-registration is, too. IMO, lack of proof of attempted registration could lead to all sorts of <snip>!!

Not sure if I read it or via a so-called tax expert that if unlucky to be found that no form has been provided and thin 2K Baht fine but not sure!!

A taxpayer identification number is issued by the Revenue Department and comprises 10 digits.

However, a taxpayer who is an individual or a payer of income who is an individual is not required to apply for a TIN if he has and uses a personal identification number (PIN) in accordance with the civilian registration law. He can use his PIN instead of TIN for tax return filing purposes.

Why would you register who's going to know your transferring money a little bit of money here and there it's nothing to worry about stop being ridiculous.
