I went to Thai Revenue department (Chalong) earlier with all the correct paperwork and they told me I couldn't get a TIN taxpayer number until after the tax year has ended. Is this normal? (doesn't sound like a smart way of doing things)

Edit: Sounds like it's just another case of ineptitude and I wont be able to sort this out at the office. Does anyone know an agent that will get me a TIN now for a decent price?

Edit 2: Went again armed with a wall of pre translated text from my accountant everything everything, and despite this I had to spend a whole hour repeatedly schooling them on the law, accounting and the revenue code, with them accepting my arguments each time and then changing the subject and perpetually and erroneously inventing new things I'd need to get the TIN, and after an hour of debunking and debating with 4 staff they just went right back to the start as if we hadn't spoken yet, and at that point I had to just throw in the towel because it was obvious that we weren't going to get anywhere. The principal lady that dealt with me was incredibly smug and rude and childish, and it was very obvious that she simply didn't want me to succeed.. the problem wasn't my paperwork, logic or position; it was her/what she represented. Politeness got me nowhere.

Wish to check. Having a Thai marriage visa is eligible for yearly tax return when I work in Thailand ? I'm currently on working visa now and got to know I'm not eligible for tax return if I continue to be on working visa.

NEW TAX LAWS

Have been told that any gifts (up to 20 million baht) p.a.are exempt from new tax laws ,so if a foreigner gives his wife money there is no tax applicable

Do I file this in the too good to be true drawer

Hello so I've been kind of living under a rock for a while and I heard televised late last year. So I'd like to know how is this affected you personally if at all. And how are you dealing with this if you're staying in Thailand for more than 180 days? This update was from February of this year that I just kind of read and summarized. Or in general what are your thoughts and opinions on this?

Starting January 1, 2024, Thailand has changed its tax laws concerning foreign-sourced income. Previously, Thai residents were taxed on foreign income only if it was brought into Thailand in the same calendar year. Now, under Departmental Instruction No. Paw 161/2566, any income earned overseas from employment, business, or property must be declared and taxed in Thailand, regardless of when it enters the country. This new rule applies to anyone residing in Thailand for 180 days or more in a calendar year.

### Impact on Foreigners in Thailand

For foreigners living in Thailand for more than 180 days in a calendar year:

1. Tax Obligations: They will be required to pay Thai income tax on any foreign-sourced income earned from employment, business, or property.

2. Income Declaration: All such income must be declared in the year it is earned, not when it is brought into Thailand.

3. Tax Rates: The tax rates range from 5% to 35%, depending on the amount of income earned.

4. Tax Filing: Income tax forms must be submitted by March of the following year.

This change ensures that foreigners with significant stays in Thailand are subject to the same tax rules as Thai citizens and residents, thereby promoting a fairer tax system.

This summary was according to the article that I read. Fairer. 😂
