You are correct and my local Revenue office  again today 5th March  stated no need to file
BTW    My personal allowances  are  60K 
             OAE over 65                             190K
             First pension                             100K
              First  Inc tax                              150 K
              If you have
               a spouse over 65                      60K

               Total                                          560K       
My allowance is 500K  as my wife who does not work is not over 65 years old

BTW  even seeing old forms there are several allowances not listed.

If your wife is a dependent with no income, you can claim 60k baht personal allowance for her. She doesn't need to be over 65 years old.

Will you be going back to the tax office tomorrow?

Hello

I went to RD as I knew I had no tax to pay but to enquire wether I could get a tax clearance certificate or whatever document confirming I was "clear" with the Thai tax system..

I asked a question..you re welcome to answer it if you wish..or not.

Then, you don't want to respect the Thai law.. your problem.

Others may prefer to act according to the rules.. my choice

And for your info even if you entered 10.000 bahts, they give you a Tin in Jomtien RD and give you a document saying you submitted your documents and you don't have to pay any tax.

Not filing may leed to fines + interests on unpaid taxes.

Have a nice evening

 

Pity the fool is the expression that springs to mind upon reading this.

 

You've been persuaded by crazy threads like here on Aseannow that there was a requirement to file tax info and further persuaded that failing to do so will affect your status with immigration.  Please don't respond to any threads offering to sell you a bridge.

Are you saying you filed a return, didn't owe tax, and got an official receipt from TRD showing zero tax due?

 

That's normal.

 

If you are saying you only remitted (entered) 10.000 baht, so wasn't required to file, but was given a TIN anyway, and they also gave you some document to show you don't owe tax or don't have to file, that would be breaking news.

 

Would you mind uploading a photo of the document showing you don't have to file (with personal info deleted, of course)?

Hello

Same information given yesterday on another forum. Report from visit in Naklua RD office.. He got a Tin, employee filled with him a form 91, then gave him a document confirming 0 tax was due.

She then gave him the tin number and other document acknowledging he had filed a return and said he had to present it to immigration for his next extension of stay.. 

As the guy told her the procedure was not according to the board on the door (same board as in Jomtien RD) she said all foreigners had to file a tax return and immigration will ask for this paper and added that people coming after 31st march will have to pay 2000 bahts fine to get it...

Have a good day

Hello

Following your post I searched and this is what I found. It seems that she gave the maximum fine amount..

 

   Fines and surcharges are one form of punishment related to taxes and duties, and there could be additional criminal penalties depending on the severity of the offense. For instance, if an individual files their taxes on time but fails to pay the full amount, or submits their tax forms late, neglects to submit, or evades tax form submission, they will have to pay additional charges and fines as per the law. If they refuse to pay, they may face criminal charges. The penalties can be categorized as follows:

1. If taxes are not paid within the specified period, an additional 1.5% surcharge per month (a fraction of a month is counted as one month) of the tax due will be imposed from the day following the deadline for filing until the tax is paid.
2. If tax officials issue a summons and it is found that no tax form has been submitted or the tax paid is less than due, in addition to the surcharge, the individual will also be liable to pay a fine of either equal to or double the amount of tax due, depending on the case. The fine may be reduced or waived as per the director's regulations, with the Minister's approval.
3. If the tax forms (Form Por Ngor Dor 90, 91, or 94) are not submitted within the due date, a maximum fine of 2,000 Baht may be imposed.
4. If someone intentionally provides false information, presents false evidence, or commits fraud to evade or attempt to evade taxes, they may face imprisonment ranging from 3 months to 7 years and a fine ranging from 2,000 Baht to 200,000 Baht.
5. If there is a deliberate intention to not file tax forms in order to evade taxes, the individual may face a fine of up to 200,000 Baht, imprisonment of up to 1 year, or both.
