Not sure where you get that impression from. If you are talking a Government pension/civil service then yes but not if you are referring to the state pension? This is the big question on which there is little clarity. One of the expat tax advisers believes it to be only cash available at 31/12/23 but others are arguing differently. Same tax adviser says no but who knows. Arguably the initial cost of the asset could be but any growth won't be - especially if you are tax resident in Thailand when the gain arises. Also even if allowed should have been sold in 2023.......

Personally that is what I believe is correct. Agreed.

DTA states UK Govt. (civil service etc) pension can only be taxed in the UK. Both private pensions and the state pension can be taxed in Thailand.

No but I have seen wheel locks (very few 555) but many bikes being removed on the back of low loaders when they do enforce.

Agreed. If anything for me they lost an opportunity to really nail down (without ambiguity) file/no file, assessable/exempt qualifications. I felt it was pretty much a waste of time listening to it all.

To me it reads that he want's to be able to distance himself from the decision (for whatever reason....). Hence Classic Not my fault guv if it goes ahead.

You could try asking them to put it into bridge mode - that is what I had a for a number of years prior to getting them to switch the package to the CYOD 1GB down 500 up a couple of months ago. That was a struggle but eventually they replaced the modem'router with the ONT in the pic. If they say the router/modem can't do Bridge push them to change it for one that does or change your package.

Seems to be a bit of a dichotomy there? Are you using 10 or 11 and which version - Home/Pro etc. I am on 10 and Bitlocker is apparently installed but in Control Panel it is shown as not switched on - I know as I checked this the other day as I was reading that there have been some recent reports about problems with updates and Bitlocker. However if you have the recovery key there shouldn't be an issue?

Can I ask where you get that from? It is very clear in the HMRC digest that the UK state pension can be taxed in Thailand as their is no relief in the DTA. - note I say can. https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/710099/DT_Digest_April_2018.pdf Go to page 34 Thailand and note 4 on the far right. This has been extensively discussed in the past so I would be interested where your statement is codified in the TRD regs?

Hopefully I have not misunderstood you but apologies if I have. For a start you don't pay 800/400k to anybody. It stays with you so not at all like an insurance payment. Plus you can only claim up to a relatively low amount and it has to be a Thai based company insurance premium - International policies/premiums are not included. Also, being polite, it doesn't matter what you "feel" - it is based on the Thai tax code and it is not something that is negotiable or even debatable......

Most income that arises in the UK is taxed by the UK after the £12,570 single persons allowance. So you would pay tax on pension income over that figure, interest on cash, dividends, bond coupons etc. However if officially non-resident for tax you don't pay any capital gains other than on property so profit from share sales for example are not taxed. If you have income offshore and are non resident then that income is not taxable by HMRC.

Instead of an agent how about getting a new spellchecker - foreign spelling is wrong in the title and twice in the message....doesn't inspire any confidence in the poster if you were unaware of the poster before......... If you do it yourself perhaps you never have these irregularities...........I would not know..........

As usual you have made the story fit your narrative. Reading the posters actual words he gave figures which were all assessable - state and private pension. The TRD person quoted a tax figure below what he himself had calculated (rightly or wrongly) and paid said amount. Nothing whatsoever to do with any immigration requests. If he failed to claim tax credits down to him. Nothing to do with TRD making it simplified. TRD happy, he happy and if your scenario proves correct Immigration happy. What else would they do...... The only lesson I see is that if you are determined to file make sure you understand what you are doing and what your allowances/TEDA/DTA etc are and TRD should honour what you say.

Which member? If you are referring to @essexman in the pinned thread it had nothing to do with Immigration so I am presuming you mean somebody else?

HMRC have now got an online complaint form which I used late last year. I had a response within about 2 weeks from memory and actually received some compensation. May be worth trying (if they still have it) rather than a letter. https://www.gov.uk/complain-about-hmrc
