When I went to the tax office, I'd already read the tax code and the DTA, something which you obviously didn't do. Sometimes we have to take a little responsibility for our own destiny. As the tax office were familiarised with my situation, they were able to give me the correct answers, and were prepared to put this in writing. You went the complete wrong way about it and requested a tax ID before you'd even ascertained if you had assessable income. It's people like you who make money for the "Tax Advisors" out there touting for your business (because they don't get a single baht out of me!)

@Elías *******

You'd better do your research! 😂😂😂

My bank has my Australian Tax File Number. I don't have a Thai Tax ID and I've signed a document to verify this.

@Wylie ******

When I went to the tax office I guess I went better prepared than you. I took my Certificate Of Tax Residency from Australia and my Australian Pension Statement. That was enough to be told that I don't need to submit a tax return in Thailand as my tax residency is Australia. They subsequently sent me a letter to this effect. Very simple and they knew what they were doing (and if they got it wrong, who am I to post on Facebook claiming they don't know what they're doing?). How easy is that? And you're saying it's ME who lacks comprehension skills? 😂😂

@Wylie ******

And the civilised conversation led to you posting on Facebook that the tax office is "clueless"? With your long-winded ambiguous crap it's little wonder! 😂😂

@Elías *******

Credit Cards usage is deemed as a "remittance" by the tax office, the same as ATM withdrawals

@Wylie ******

It's little wonder the tax office showed you the door! You make absolutely zero sense! You want to see a clown. Go look in the mirror! 🤡🤡🤡. Oh and it's "you're" not "your" but you obviously escaped a proper education!! 😂😂

@Wylie ******

Except all remittances into Thailand are deemed as income until shown otherwise. Your comments in this thread are somewhat vague, so I can see how others are misinterpreting what you are saying

The change was actually a closing of a loophole, which "tax agents" in Thailand have jumped on and started fear-mongering amongst expats, in the pursuit of business. Sadly, many have been duped and subsequently scammed into handing over large sums of money unnecessarily

@Ian *********

That's a personal choice. Some tax offices are more aware of the process and will not issue tax ID to those who are not required to submit a tax return at that office.
