Most of all, Gozaimasu means present
Gozaimashita means past
But we don’t think their differences
Ex. When you say arigato to someone in front of you who did something good for you “now” , you should say “arigato gozaimasu”
When you say arigato to someone in front of you who did something good for you “in past” you should say “arigato gozaimshita
Does it make sence?

ありがとうございます is directed to present thing
ありがとうございました is directed to past thing
