Anyone has more information on the above? Especially related to obtaining a number with tourist visa?

Thanks!

is that a tax claim under the double taxation agreement with thailand and the uk/usa for interest on a uk/usa account?

All thai banks deduct tax from interest
You can claim it bank with the correct paperwork if eligible.

Refund on Taxes deducted from Interest earned on Bank Deposits

The following is a guideline outlining the documents and procedures required for obtaining a refund on taxes deducted from interest earned on bank deposits. This guideline is based on procedures that were in effect as of December 8, 2008 and are subject to change.

Which Bank Deposits are eligible for a Tax Refund?

Taxes deducted on “Fixed” accounts (i.e. term deposits for 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, etc.) are eligible while daily interest “Savings” accounts are NOT. If you bank at the “Bangkok Bank” your orange colored book (Fixed Account Passbook) is eligible while your blue book (Savings Account Passbook) is NOT.

How far back can I go to claim a Tax Refund? You can go back 3 years. For example, if you had gone to your bank on December 8th, 2008 you would have been eligible to make a tax refund for calendar years 2005, 2006, and 2007. For 2008 you would have had to wait until the following year 2009 to make a claim.

What are the Documents/Procedures required to complete the process?

Obtain a “Residence Certificate” from Immigration

- 2 photos

- Proof of where you live. An official document with your name and address on it such as a telephone bill, electric bill, water bill, lease agreement, apartment rental invoice, Thai drivers license, etc,

- Passport photocopies

- Cost: 200 baht

Obtain a Tax Identification Number (TIN) - Go to the Pattaya Central Condo next to Wat Chaimongol Temple on Pattaya Tai. The tax office is located on the right side of the Pattaya Central Condo’s main entrance.

- Once in the tax office go to the main counter and say “I want number” or “I want TIN“. They should understand.

- You will be directed to a clerk who will ask you for your passport and residence certificate. You will be sent out for photocopies. Once documents are complete you will be issued a “TIN” card right there on the spot free of charge.

Go to your local Bank

- Bring along your bank books, passport, and TIN card. If you bank at the “Bangkok Bank” on Second Road they will direct you to counter 6. The clerk will type up an Official Tax Claim for each bank book in triplicate

Return to the Tax Office on Pattaya Tai

- Bring along your TIN card, Bank Books, Passport, and Official Tax Claim(s). A clerk will review and prepare further documents to authorize release of funds. You will be sent out for more photocopies. Once complete you will be issued a receipt for each Official Tax Claim. It takes about 2 months before you will receive refund(s) in the mail.
