haha. Reading comprehension really isn't your guys strong suit is it. Next time I'll run it through chatGPT and have it rewrite my comment at a 2nd grade reading level for you.

You felt the need to chime in and say my original comment was hard to follow because I specifically didnt say something. Then when I pointed out that I did in fact say EXACTLY what you claimed I didn't, you needed to clarify. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Just like the other clown you assume nonsense, like they "showed me the door". It was a very simple and civil 2 minute conversation with a couple of back and forth questions. After which I said thank you and left. But that's me being shown the door in your world.🤣🤣🤣

Now all you have to fall back on is a simple missed "you're vs your". I'm sure glad to know there's people out there that are perfect and never ever miss a spelling or grammatical error like yourself.

Pathetic. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

@Roberto ********

and how exactly does one show otherwise? There was nothing vague about it. I said I remitted INCOME into thailand, not that I remitted money into thailand that is considered income until proven otherwise. One could simply trust that I know what is and isn't income instead of making the assumption that I don't. Especially when it doesn't change the point I was making in any way, since the tax department never even asked any details of how much money I brought in or where it came from. I could've brought in 20 million baht of income that needed to be taxed, but they didn't ask or care.

I didn't realize I needed to give the specific details of every single penny I brought into thailand. You want more details than the tax department did, which kind of proves the point of my original post.

First you say I didn't say something, and after clearly reminding you that I said EXACTLY what you said I didn't say, you then try and pick apart some other small nonsense detail. Rather than be an adult and say "oh, I completely missed that". Seriously, you two are a bunch of clowns that don't know when to stop when your behind.

@Roberto ********

I literally say I "remit income into Thialand" in my very first comment. That makes it pretty clear that it is income and not savings, and that I brought that money into thailand. Seriously, how much more clearer can that possibly be?

@Andy ***********

🤣🤣🤣 does that change the fact that I NEVER said anything remotely close to bringing money, or income into thailand automatically meant it was assessable and a person needed to file? You assumed my income wasn't assesable and then felt the need to twist my words into something I did not say just so you could correct it. After I shot you down on your other criticisms of my comments. You just keep searching for anything, even if you have to make it up.

@Andy ***********

Again. Where did I say that one needs to file if one "brings money" into thailand? I said I told immigration "because I remit INCOME into thailand". And I never said whether or not that income was assessable. You just assumed it was not, along with assuming what I believe and do not believe.

You really do need to brush up on reading comprehension and just stop trying to find any little thing you can to pick apart about anything I said. You're not good at it.

@Andy ***********

Again, where did I say, or even imply, that I did not consider that the end of the story for me? I left the office and didn't think twice about it besides making a comment about my experience.

As for my comment that they don't know what they're doing, I stand by it. When multiple offices are giving contradictory and conflicting information, it's clear that communication, understanding or interpretation of the law, and enforcement are not well-coordinated. I think that's a strong indication that they don't know what they're doing. If you have a different opinion that's great. I stand by mine.

As for you not having assessable income and not needing to file, that is irrelevant to any of the issues that you're trying to raise with my comments, and unrelated to any comment I made.

@Ian *********

yup. I realize some offices are extemely knowledgeable and helpful. Some of them are the complete opposite. I may be wrong, but my impression is the offices that have a much lower expat population are more helpful (Issan). The ones with a huge expat population like Koh Samui seem to want to avoid all the extra work of thousands of more tax filings.

@Andy ***********

who said I pushed the issue? Nothing in my post says or even implies I "pushed" the issue. I simply went and asked about it and there were a couple of back and forth questions. Thats all, no pushing. I left and said thats good enough for me and didn't think twice about not filing. Sometimes I just can't figure out people's lack of reading comprehension skills.

@Ian *********

unfortunately going to the local tax office may result in just as many conflicting and incorrect answers as Facebook. I went to mine and they refused to even give me a TIN number because I did not have a work permit and did not make money inside of thailand. They asked why I wanted one. I told them because I live here and remit income into thailand so need to file. They still wouldn't give me one. They are either just as clueless as random Facebook users or are doing it on purpose because they don't want to drastically increase their workload because a bunch foreigners start filing tax returns that end up owing little to nothing.

Your TM30 has your passport number on it, which is why you need to file a new one. As others have said, the TM30 has nothing to do with your 90 day report deadline. Besides the fact it needs to match your passport and address you use to file it.
