As I understand it, to file or not to file has nothing to do with if you need to pay tax or not.

1. If you live in Thailand for 180 days or more in one calendar year AND your assessable income sent over to Thailand is above a certain level, you should file your tax return here.


2. If your assessable income sent over is less than 150,000 Baht after allowances and deductions, no tax to be paid.
 

 

 

If you're a UK ex govt worker and have already been taxed at source there, my understanding is that you don't file for tax here as well. To do so is asking for trouble IMO.

It is already implemented in Thailand; they got it all working last year.

I have had CRS forms from both Kasikorn and Bangkok banks this year.

Just because if you live here for more than 180 and are required under the regulations to file a tax return it doesn't mean that you will have to pay anything.

As it's all about if your meet the criteria.

Can you expand on this statement?

 

Are you saying that EVERYONE who is tax resident (Thai and non-Thai) MUST file a return, even if they have no Assessible Income?

 

Or does the "under the regulations" potentially relieve that "requirement"?

Nobody knows what the rules are, or even if they apply to foreigners not working in Thailand.

That’s why I don’t need to pay taxes here, because ambiguities are not applicable.

You need to make up your own mind.

However based on your question in another thread that you are only bringing in US SS which is taxable only in the US according to the DTA. If that is the case what is your downside for not filing as nothing is assessable - potentially only 2k fine as per regs as you owe no tax. However no-one so far has reported anyone being fined at any stage. 

If I was you (but see my first sentence) with US SS only I would not even be participating in these discussions.

I do not get any P60s only get tax paid from the Internet 

But the problem is that UK tax year is different to the Thai tax year so cannot estimate the tax that has been paid for the Thai tax year

Yes for those who can prove tax taken by the UK Tax Authorities and yes differing dates but most have fixed income which will be the same tax the following year.
