I was there three hours.

 

He then realized he had entered my information in the wrong columns.So, a load of time wasted and he had to start again.

 

This is the problem.  The local officials don't always know their own regulations.  They won't look it up when customers, especially the foreign kind, are watching.  Then when they inevitably make a misteak, they won't admit it.  They'll keep massaging the numbers and filling in random blanks until it looks sorta, kinda, possibly not completely wrong.

 

You brought in only pre-2024 savings last year.  You had zero assessable foreign remittances, have nothing to declare, did not cross the filing threshold, and don't need to file.  Simple as that.

 

Unless you had sufficient Thai-source income, you don't gotta do nothing.  You file only if 1) you want a refund of interest withholding tax, or 2) you want to have a history of filing because you don't know what will happen in the next few years.

 

Three hours is ridiculous.  You can file online from home in your underpants in about fifteen minutes.

Thank you.

 

I will now tell you what happened.

 

He filled in the wrong columns. Different columns on the computer for different stats, as in those bringing in assessable income and pensions income etc

 

He then smiled and said he had filled in the wrong columns and didn't get it why, after three hours, I was a tad unhappy.

 

He showed my partner the computer and where he had done it wrong.

 

Furthermore, he didn't know what he was doing.

 

The senior officer at another desk just continued talking on his phone and ignoring us.

 

He actually told me now I was in the system, he would rather I did it myself online.

There are no columns for NON-assessable income, and no provision for deducting if declared.

 

But go check out this other thread.

Looks like this may all turn out to be just a bad dream.

but he would enter in the system I had followed regulations.

 

 

Did he end up entering in the system that you followed regulations?

 

Were you given any documentation, perhaps a hard-copy of your return, proving you filed a return?

OP

Thank you for your report.
