Thailand Tax Return and Refund

[John9]

As required for year 2024 I filled tax return online with help from Thai person as all is in Thai online. As per that I was assessed based on what I transferred in bank, No tax payable but to claim tax refund

for tax deducted on interest paid on my savings in Thai Bank. It was small amount of around 1400 THB. Having received message from Revenue to submit documents, went to Revenue department and they asked for:

1.passport copy of all pages.

2.Bank book account - all pages.

3. Income tax payment certificate from tax authority of no income.

4. Certificate of non-income in Thailand.

5. Source of Income

 

Number 1 and 2 are fine I can do. Cannot understand how to get Income tax payment certificate as per number 3 and where to get certificate of no income in Thailand - number 4.

 

Its very small amount of refund, can let it go as it is likely to cost much more than value of refund. As such I was charged 1000THb to file tax return as all was in Thai and news kept on saying its compulsory

to declare  and file return for all transfers into Thailand.

 

Any advice, comments: Please advice honestly and I thank in advance to all.

 

Am seriously looking at not to stay in Thailand more than 6 months and or leave all together. Any suggestions ?

It's almost like they're deterring you from submitting this, I'm doing the less than 180 days thing at the moment until the dust settles which may or may not happen this year - then I'll give it another year just for good measure.

I've already got a place to live in Phnom Penh so that suits me just fine.

1. Let it go.

2. Stop believing the news.
