Home » Reader question » Reader question: Where in Hua Hin can I find the Thai tax authorities?
Dear readers,
I have a question for the experts among us…. as some know, I have been “early” retired since 2012. That is, no pension, but a nice transitional rule from my employer, whereby I still have to pay taxes.
Now I receive my income in Germany, so the tax authorities in Heerlen will not be able to help me with that. The German tax authorities require confirmation from a Thai tax authority for the form “Bescheinigung außerhalb EU/EWR”.
My question is: who knows where I can find a tax office, where I can have the said form stamped? I was already in Soi 88 in Hua Hin, but they couldn't help me there.
Furthermore, I searched the internet and found a Pranburi Area Revenue Branch Office. But is that what I'm looking for? I'm afraid this has the same function as the desk on Soi 88 in Hua Hin.
Thanks in advance for some good tips!!
Yours faithfully,
Jack S
Don't arrange that yourself. I speak from experience, but hire an expert accountant.
Peter, why shouldn't I arrange that myself? Could you explain to me what experience you had and why it is better to hire an expert accountant?
It is a form that confirms that I am registered here in Thailand and that must be completed by the Thai tax authorities. I can't find anything about it on the German blogs either.
I even (after posting my question here on the blog) sent an email to the German Consulate. They wrote back that they would complete my EU/EWR form, confirming that I do not have to pay tax in Thailand. This for 40 Euro (1700 Baht).
Since 2007, the country where you have your income may levy tax on your income and to avoid double taxation, you only have to do so in one country.
But I also read that you pay taxes there, where you physically stay. So that should be Thailand then. Thailand has, as far as I understand, less or no tax at all. And it is none of the German tax authorities' business how much tax I do or do not pay here. The point is that I am registered here for tax purposes.
And that's what I'm looking for. A tax office that can confirm that I have been reported here. I would like that too.
Dear Sjaak, I myself had the same problem, but it concerned obtaining an exemption in the Netherlands. The NL tax authorities asked me to prove that I pay tax in Thailand. I replied that I wanted the first exemption to avoid having to pay tax twice.
Still, she wanted proof. I went to the tax office in Soi 88, where I was told that they would not issue a statement that I am a tax resident in Thailand. She wouldn't even give me a note that just said I'd been to their office. NL tax I have indicated that you are liable to tax under Thai law if you (I thought) stay in Thailand for 180 days.
I only know one person who received such a statement in Pattaya because he had a good acquaintance at the Thai tax office there.
Not sure if this is of any use to you…. success in any case.
Same experience as Rob Piers and I had a Thai accountant friend who wanted to do that for me and went to the tax office in Chonburi and came back empty-handed. Their reasoning was “he is a tourist and therefore not subject to tax in Thailand” This while I have been hanging around here for about 40 years. But yes, this is TIT.
Dear Mr Sjaak S.,
When I read your story, I think that you want to appeal to the German tax authorities (DB) for the avoidance of double taxation. I assume that there is also such a treaty between Germany and Thailand. The DB asks you to have the form “Bescheinigung ausserhalb EU/EWR” completed by the Thai tax authorities. An English form can be downloaded from the DB and pages 3 and 4 must therefore be completed by the Thai tax authorities. The statement indicates how much income you have declared in Thailand and that Thailand is your (tax) residence.
You have tried to have it completed by the tax office in Hua Hin which is located in the extension of Soi 88 Hua Hin and I believe that is the only tax office in Hua Hin. In the past I have requested statements in English for the Dutch tax authorities and those statements have all been issued by the regional tax office in Nakorn Pathom. I believe only regional offices issue these statements. The address of the office covering Hua Hin is Regional Revenue Office 6, 65 Thesa Road, Muang District, Nakornprathom, 73000 Thailand, Phone 66 (0) 3421 3594, Fax 66 (0) 3425 5045
There is also an English statement that indicates that Thailand is your tax residence for a requested year. That is the “Certificate of Residence: RO 22. This is only issued if you have also filed a tax return for the year in question and paid tax. It seems to me that the declaration for the DB must therefore be completed at the above-mentioned regional office.
Rembrandt
Thanks Rembrandt,
This is a very valuable answer to my question. The form I received from the German tax authorities also has an English following. So I already have…
I hope something can be done at that address.
I think you only get a statement if you actually pay tax in Thailand.
With the completed tax papers to Nakornprathom (for me it was Chonburi) and after waiting a few days you can pick up an English statement.
