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.
