English Retiree Wants TIN

[SamSaraburi]

I’ve got an English friend who has been here a couple of years and not paid tax(in any country) on his foreign income, just £12,000. He is retired and on a marriage visa. UK state pension.

He is worried and said he’s going to go to the tax office in Bkk, get a TIN and start paying tax. I think his remote company are asking for tax compliance.

I think he’ll have to own up and they’ll find out about the past two years, as they’ll need some kinda contract from his work, so he’ll be fined for not paying.

He thinks he can just go to get a TIN and file next year for his earnings this year, and it is just up to him to say a figure and they won’t ask for bank details.

Does anyone know what happens when you go and get a TIN for the first time?

He is doing like an online thing  to top up his low pension.So yes he’s working online here.

He can get a TIN just by showing his long term visa, withholding tax receipt of bank interest payment and evidence of address in Thailand. At least this has worked for me, not questions asked.

If non-resident for tax in UK and paid somewhere other than UK/Thailand just give the company his UK TIN - NI number or UTR - no issue........re TIN no. for the company anyhow.......
