Today's experience trying to obtain my tax refund
I have been a non-resident of Australia for tax purposes since 2010 and am currently a resident of Thailand for Thai tax purposes. I have promptly notified the Australian financial institutions I deal with of my overseas address and contact details. These financial institutions frequently sent requests for a "Tax Status Declaration Form," which includes the following statement: "A TIN is the number assigned by each country for the purposes of administering tax laws. This is the equivalent of a Tax File Number (TFN) in Australia. If a TIN is not provided, please specify one of the three reasons listed (A, B, or C) for not providing a TIN." The reasons listed on the form are: Reason A - The country of tax residency does not issue TINs to tax residents (Only valid for Bahrain, The Bahamas, Bermuda, British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, Monaco, Montserrat, Turks and Caicos Islands, United Arab Emirates). Reason B - The individual has not been issued with a TIN. Reason C - The country of tax residency does not require the TIN to be disclosed (Only valid for Japan). The first "Tax Status Declaration Form (for Individuals)" I received was from Macquarie Bank in March 2018, which I duly completed, signed, and returned as requested. Since then, I received this form every six months and consistently selected "Reason B: The individual has not been issued with a TIN." Later, I received identical requests from NAB and Computershare Limited. In every instance, "Reason B" was accepted without any issues. However, after obtaining a TIN last year, I informed my banks accordingly. Since then, these requests have ceased. I suspect that some employees at these financial institutions are either not fully informed or unaware of the purpose of the "Tax Status Declaration Form." I find it perplexing that banks would threaten to close accounts when the form clearly provides acceptable options (A, B, and C). It's important to note that banks act merely as agents reporting to the Financial Services Council (FSC). Of course, it would be a completely different matter if someone were to ignore the requirement to complete the form altogether or trying to outsmart the relevant authorities. -

Did Joe Biden really get this much wrong during his presidency?
Garland followed the law. You call him timid. I call him responsible and professional. The bravery is not succumbing to the pressure of rushing to pursue Trump without credible evidence. The MAGA collective also attacks him, but should be grateful that he was unwilling to pursue a case without evidence. -

Strange and annoying things here in land of smiles
Naah...just weirdos who claim everyone else but themselves is narcissistic and insist that they are only on the forum to help. I am yet to see them helping anyone on this forum. I see only self aggrandisement, but no evidence of the qualities that they like to assert are endemic to themselved. Go on, show me the posts that are helpful to anyone. 😊 That's the thing about LOS. All the foreigners who try to reinvent themselves as something good. So easy to see through their BS.- 1
