  Poop accumulated prior to 2024 is also tax free.

 

Yes, FROM 2024 going forward.

 

The another poster wants to file LATE returns.

 

In that case, the pre-2024 ruling would not apply.

Money in savings accounts pre-2024 can be remitted to Thailand tax free any time going forward.

Some people think that also applies to balances in pensions and investment accounts but they're wrong.

This is starting to get monotonous. You keep genuflecting to tax advisory firms -- particularly Expattaxthai -- who have often stumbled on reading the TRD tea leaves. Expattaxthai, in their FAQ section, advised that LTR visa holders must still file a tax return, completely filling it in with zeros. Completely bonkers. Fortunately, I can sniff out folks who don't have a full grasp of the situation, or who don't admit there's nothing solid enough yet coming from TRD to allow a full grasp. And act accordingly.  So, from this statement re Por 162, how does your INDEPENDENT reasoning conclude only pre 2024 monies from "savings accounts" (your quote) apply under Por 162?

Order No. Por.162/2566, issued on November 20, 2023, provides further clarification. It states that the new interpretation should not apply to foreign-sourced income earned before January 1, 2024. This means that income derived prior to this date will be subject to the previous rule: it will only be taxed if brought into Thailand within the same tax year it was earned. This order aims to ease the transition for taxpayers planning the remittance of previously earned foreign income.

 

Come on, Jingthing. Think for yourself for a change. Your certainty on uncertain matters is losing you any credibility you might of had.

It is conceivable that the necessary proof might take the form of a tax clearance certificate. If so, applying for and obtaining one would clearly mean yet more bureaucratic hoops needing to be jumped through at annual extension of stay time if this link is to be believed!

That webpage existed long before the recent tax hoo-ha and has no business being referred to regarding most expats tax affairs.

After you have a TIN,  you can file online by yourself.

The Revenue Department has an end-user friendly online site to file.

A Chrome Browser is able to translate the entire process into English.

Determine, to the best of your ability, your assessable income for 2024.

If necessary, find help to do this in the private sector (not the Revenue Department).

You don't need to pay anyone to file once you're determined your assessable income.

Enter your information into the Revenue Department's online site and file. Pay by QR code if you owe taxes. 

Finished. You're a tax resident here (>180 days) and have successfully filed.

If the Revenue Department has questions, they will ask.

Keep good notes and records for this possibility - just like your home country taxes.

I would not expect, or want, the Revenue Department front line staff to advise about evaluating my finances for assessable income.

Or assistance with filing....

I think most would not have that expectation of their home country Revenue Department equivalents. 

 

Search for Revenue Department's online e-file site (efiling.rd.go.th). Right click on Google Chrome and select translate to English

 

For those without a TIN, you can go to the Revenue Department and apply for a TIN.

Just that one task. Nothing else....

You’re not there for their assistance to file your taxes.

You already have someone to do that.

 

 

 

Why would you need anybody to file your taxes when the office will do everything for you for free
