Conflicting information again, which is the problem with this whole business. I've been advised by a lawyer that UK ex-government workers, exempted by the UK/Thailand DTA, are not required to file here.

Correct if you only transfer your government pension ( not same as state pension fir other readers as I am sure you know the difference already).

Am in agreement  but the problem bearing in mind T.I.T that we may suddenly find a frozen Thai bank account one fine day

 

If they're going to enforce this and thats seem highly likely they'll find a way to make everyone comply

Don't worry, the others will be given their chance to present also.

If by 'others' you are referring to other tax advisers it seems to me they've been presenting non-stop for months past.

Another event to promote an accountancy firm and tell everyone what they already know, I bet the poor Pattaya xpats left the meeting scratching their heads and more confused than when they walked in, I would need a beer after that!

 

I think most xpats if they don't have a family here, and none will own property in any case will just hop on a plane should they come looking for back taxes.

 

Hello Philippines!

Haha. Phillipines is worse. They tax globally not just remitted funds!

Could be.

A year from now you get a knock on your door.  You look thru the peep hole and see a smallish younger Thai man with glasses and a pen in his shirt pocket. He is holding some files.  You decide to open the door and he yells in your face: why didn't you file your Thai taxes!

Expand  

More likely nit extend your visa without clearance from the Thai tax authorities. It's simple fir them. Just need to take a tax filing return to immigration on renewal day like the bank letter. Then YOU will be scurrying to file a return. It will only come ti that probably soon when they introduce global taxation. That's the bombshell awaiting all.if us.

Yawn and it is obvious you think you know much more than you actually do on this subject. 

 

Your above posts are hilariously void of anything other than the story you have made-up in your head on how "all" things regarding expat taxes in the future.  How can you not see this? Carry on - these threads are fun.

Expand  

Si don't believe me then. I have taken tax advice from professionals but I am sure you have a sour attitude to that. Up to you

Expand  

 

Let's guess, did you take your advice from:

 

A) a slick presented, foreigner fronted 'expat' tax specialist that sprung up less than 18 months ago?

 

Or

 

B) did you take it from an established firm that has actually had experience filing Thai taxes , and dealing with the TRD, over many years?

Are you sure you are not a tax advisor 🙂
How are they going to enforce it?  Not extend your visa? There are a few friendly IO's around that will require some form of tax 😉 but cheaper and less administration/paperwork!
Other countries they send bailiffs to your house to seize property etc, how can they do that when foreigners don't own anything here? 🙂
I can't imagine the banks in a hurry to freeze or close peoples accounts down doesn't make much business or financial sense for them to do that!
Are they going to send foreigners to jail here for not paying taxes?  Can't see that happen either the jails would be full and would cause a bit of an international outcry and give Thailand a 'bad image'
Would also be against human rights in general to restrict your travel on the basis of any tax debts.

Hahaha - that will be withdrawn before they ever get near my bank account I doubt even Thailand would just take that out without giving you some kind of warning.
If I was a cynical man I would suspect that the government may want to get their hands on everyone's 800000!!!!!

So, if they do things "the normal way" they'd calculate your taxes like this.

This small spreadsheet to compute taxes provided by 'pauku1' is pretty nifty.

the DTA says is not taxable in Thailand

Expand  

I think Untrue.

Only untaxed In-Kind, that is Thai tax rate is equal or less than foreign tax rate. But when the Thai tax rate exceeds foreign tax rate  (ie., 25% vs. 20%), a Thai tax might apply to the differential. That should not violate the DTA.

OK, that's good, care to share which firm?

 

I guess then that some of the opinions you're posting on this thread, are your own and not based on their professional advice....................

Oh dear. Depending on hopefully you can pay bribes to stay in thailand is not only unethical and unlawful it's also improbable in the long run. Grow up.

Not going to waste my time replying other than advising you to reread prior threads going back years with your same argument above and "no" real knowledge has been gained.   As I mentioned prior - carry on for the many AN members that find these threads hilarious.

I saw this and he is correct in saying that unless you remit funds that are taxable in thailand then you don't need to both get a TIN or file a tax return. He does seem.unhinged, however!
