Expat: "No." Immigration Officer: "Must have certificate from TRD to make extension. You go TRD first." Expat: "Ok." All it would take is the order to come down from Bangkok, and another document would be needed at extension time. A lot easy to implement than tourist tax. No real "communication" needed between the departments. Just tell one department a certificate is now needed from the other department. As I have said, they have expats by the b*lls and they know it. No real "ifs and buts" about it. It's a no brainer for the Thai government. The certificate from the TRD will be like the bank document. I would be interested to know how you propose to get around the above? The above is beyond fantasy. You don't stop. My condolences if you're bedridden and bored. 1 2 1 3

Cannabis is here already, casinos are coming. Both are just new revenue streams, and so this tax will be also. The difference is, they can't make you smoke, and they can't make you gamble, but the can make you pay some tax. 1

recom273 Posted 4 hours ago Posted 4 hours ago 47 minutes ago, Gaccha said: That's interesting. I'm not a teacher, and my immigration is Bangkok, but I've been asked for at least 10 years to provide the tax receipt. It is a condition of receiving the work permit. Wow! That is interesting. I have never heard from any other teacher that they have needed to show a tax receipt, but it does show that payment of tax could easily be demanded at visa application. When you are a teacher, the schools and the directors are known to the immigration bosses, some schools send an assistant to make sure there are no hitches when applying for an extension, it seems there is a certain amount of leeway. Anyway, let's all wait and see. I will use an agent to process my next visa, so I presume I will have a years grace to assess the situation.

Please copy and paste the thread post where I said that, I think you have me confused with someone else. Noted you do not attempt to refute my post re negativity, but try a lame deflection instead. IIRC you have nearly 1000 posts on the Australian Age Pension thread. Please quote one - just one - where you have said something positive.

So...
KhunHeineken Posted 4 hours ago Posted 4 hours ago 49 minutes ago, Jingthing said: Fear mongering. How so? Serious question. It's the easiest and cheapest and quickest method to ensure compliance. It makes foreigners go to the TRD Office. Once again, people ask "why would they" but not ask "why wouldn't they?" Can you post your reasoning for why you think they will not go down this route, this year, or in the future? 1

Happy to hear why you think it's fantasy. I'm not the only one to suggest the Thai government may go down this route so ensure compliance.

What 24 hour report? I would rather listen to the local immigration superintendent, than some uninformed TRD clerk. Pointless post. I did add the caveat, but this is Thailand, so who knows? Obviously your post is intended to elevate your importance, and designed to provoke controversy. Wrong person! 1

The TRD is a government department. The way the agents take care of the bank document couldn't be done that way with the TRD. However, as I have said in the past, the Certificate of Clearance could end up being like the Certificate of Residence. We all pay a flat fee of say 1000 baht to the TRD, NO RECEIPT, so you know where the money goes, right? We give it to immigration and we are good for the extension. For high net worth individuals, they might pull out the rule book. Time will tell how all this unfolds.
KhunHeineken Posted 4 hours ago Posted 4 hours ago 16 minutes ago, Yumthai said: I rectified to better fit the reality. I just addressed this in another post. I doubt agents can take care of a tax clearance certificate in the same way they take care of a bank document, but who knows here. 1

Not due to 31st March 2025. Why would there be a mention in November 2024? They could have easily said that this is the last extension you will get without a submitted tax form -- just as I was told a few years back that this the last extension you will get based upon submitting an embassy income affidavit.
oldcpu Posted 3 hours ago Posted 3 hours ago On 1/23/2025 at 12:03 PM, Presnock said: One reason is that locals with foreign bank accounts never worried that the over seas banks would advise the TRD of the Thai individuals' bank accounts. Now with the joining of Thailand with all the rest of the OECD and CRS FACTA exchange of banking information, the TRD may learn about citizens that have those foreign bank accounts. There are limits to what accounts OECD via CRS has access to. For example: In the Canadian agreement with OECD it is quite clear that information on Canadian government regulated accounts for individuals (ie registered Canadian tax free accounts for money growth such as RRSPs, RRIFs and some others) are NOT reported to OECD via CRS, and Canada is under no obligation to provide such to OECD. Thailand has a similar agreement for Thai government regulated accounts of individuals. That may be a mute point - but I thought it important to make the observation that all information on all accounts is NOT provided via CRS to OECD.
flexomike Posted 1 hour ago Posted 1 hour ago 22 hours ago, RSD1 said: Was that money that you received from a foreign source less than a total of an equivalent of ฿150,000 for the entire year? If so, then I believe you're not obliged to file a personal income tax return for the year, in which case you don't need a TIN either. For a single person it is 60,000 baht, 120,000 if filing jointly 1

Did you live your entire life being fearful? I worked with a guy who was so cautious he used to wear these huge google looking glasses to keep dust away. He wore protective gloves doing mundane non physical work. If I had to guess I'd say you still wear a mask everywhere you go.
RSD1 Posted 32 minutes ago Posted 32 minutes ago 1 hour ago, flexomike said: For a single person it is 60,000 baht, 120,000 if filing jointly Correct. That's for the additional personal allowance, but that's in addition to the first 150,000 which is exempt and tax free for everyone: So a single person filing individually is entitled to at least 210,000 Baht in income tax free. 1
biervoormij Posted 29 minutes ago Posted 29 minutes ago 7 hours ago, NoDisplayName said: The limit is 60K (single)/120K (married) baht of assessable remittances technically requires filing a tax return. In practice, many TRD offices don't want a filing unless tax is due. The other number quoted was the limit of assessable remittances after TEDA where tax would be due. Your limit depends on your TEDA. Pre-2024 earnings, and income exempted by TDA are excluded from PIT calculations and don't need to be reported. ......................at least not yet. Thank you for the clarification. I was confused by the 210K and it has nothing to do with if you are required to file at this amount but it is the amount that is taxed at 0% if single and under 65.
