my home bank's did require my thailand TIN as well ...


Many people have this problem, but most local TRD would still not issue a TIN unless you need it to file your tax return in Thailand.

This form is not required for expat Retirees, but I bet some will start posting that it is, now that they have seen it. There's plenty of false information being posted on these tax threads.

 

Unfortunately, the Tax Clearance Certificate already exists but hopefully we will never have to use it.
More to read about it at TRD official website: https://www.rd.go.th/english/23518.html

Here is an interesting tax case: 

 

Lets say I want to buy a house for THB 20 mil, I need in fact close to THB 27 mil to cover the taxation on the money I bring onto Thailand.........

 

On the other hand, if I want to buy said house for THB 20 mil, but stay under the threshold of 180 days in Thailand, no taxes are due. Problem solved? For THB 7 million I can comfortably travel around the world for 6 months - and spend the money on myself, blow and girls, instead of getting it siphoned off into the abyss of taxation.

 

Other creative solutions?

 

Don't buy the house!

Last time I was on a job in Panama I was not allowed to leave the country without a tax clearance certificate issued by the revenue department in Panama City, it stated that I had fulfilled my tax obligations to the country. I just checked if Thailand has something similar and they have but it is not used for people in our situation, yet. 

I believe Thailand used to have such a system.  I guess they could bring it back. 

 

Just like they can''t have over stayers leave Thailand without paying their fine, they can't have people leaving Thailand without paying their tax. 

 

I did say some time ago I would not be surprised to see a TRD desk next to the overstay desk at airports.
