If you are living full time in Thailand, you become uk-non-resident the moment you left UK. It is none of the UK's business where you are. Generally speaking if you don't live there and aren't using their government services, you should not be paying tax there. Apply for an NT tax code via https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/income-tax-leaving-the-uk-getting-your-tax-right-p85 From what I've seen you will only successfully get a Thai tax code if you are actually going to start paying tax in Thailand. There is no need to do this. Thailand is not trying to tax foreigners on money coming from outside Thailand (in general). I'm sure you will want more proof than just the above, but I'm trying to point you in the right direction. Its a grey area I've spent many hours looking into and have discussed with 5 or 6 international tax advisors, albeit not specifically pension-related. I'd be interested in replies to the contrary.

You do realize that every time you've been smoking, you've also been vaping, right? Eg in a spliff you sucking air past the burning "cherry" of the spliff, then that hot air is passing through the unburnt weed, thereby vaping its contents. Some of us just like to do the vaping bit without the breating-in-smoke bit.

Short version: what documents are required by CM immigration for a Covid Extension Longer: My tourist visa started early October and today I planned to visit CM immigration to get the covid extension before the November 26th deadline, to give me 2 months of extension, rather than waiting until early December and getting 1 month of tourist visa extension. I called Assist Visa company who informed me that I need to use a tourist visa extension before using the covid extension and that the deadline has now moved back to 25th January. This seems to be confirmed here https://thethaiger.com/hot-news/visa/deadline-on-friday-to-apply-for-60-day-covid-visa-extension . In this article they mention that different immigration offices ask for different documents. Has anyone here applied for it in CM, and if so what did they ask for? Eg. residence certificate? Insurance Docs? Many thanks

Inmates released following "Kratom" decriminalization

Got any references for this idea that alcoholics bodies are different? -
Im jokin im not racing to Pai. Honest guv. Since driving scooters and boring cars around northern thailand I've fantasized about having a decent car to make the most of that twisty tarmac. After a few years working back home Ive got some THB together and wondering how to approach it. What would you spend 1.5mil on? Is there a reasonably new hatchback which was fitted as standard with a detuned engine to meet emissions standards, that could be retuned easily? I do want it to be a daily driver as well. Or are diesels better for tuning gains? I'm in Chiang Mai and my plan so far is to ask the local tuning shops but I'd love to tap the knowledge here first

Its more like 5 years now with various factors needing to be taken into account. I agree this should not be gone into lightly. For me the £££ benefits are huge. Ive spoken with accountants already but will be getting it all in writing too to present to HMRC if there's any issue further down the road.

Its not UK income. The work is done outside the UK and thats where residence starts to matter, hence the SRT just scroll a little bit further down that exact page it indicates that tax on wages is based on the number of days you work in the UK: When tax is not due or is already deducted Non-residents do not usually pay UK tax on: the State Pension interest from UK government securities (‘gilts’) If you live abroad and are employed in the UK, your tax is calculated automatically on the days you work in the UK.

The longer answer is.... If I pass the SRT test https://home.kpmg/content/dam/kpmg/pdf/2016/01/statutory-residence-test-flowchart.pdf then I am not taxable in UK for that tax year. Since this is my first year working outside the UK, I can apply "split year treatment" and be non-uk-taxable for the second part of the tax year (date i arrive in thailand until end of tax year) Generally speaking, I need to remain uk-non-resident for about 5 tax years for HMRC to not come for the tax later by saying that I was only temporarily non-resident.

A company may well set up a branch offshore for tax reasons, but there is no requirement for the UK company to do this to continue to employee a british citizen working remotely. Here's a case for the time being but I will get back with some specific accountancy advise soon https://www.justanswer.com/uk-tax/dfy8s-sam-dutch-national-currently-living-uk.html

There is no need to prove you are being taxed in another country to claim tax back from HMRC. You only need to show you are non-resident and should have done this with a P85 at the time you left https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/income-tax-leaving-the-uk-getting-your-tax-right-p85 Once you are not a resident of the UK, why would you be paying tax there? The statutory residence test is made specifically to address the issue of whether you are UK tax resident or not. If you have a source stating otherwise, I'd love to have a look.

Thanks, this is a good example showing that even though you were working for a UK company, the income tax was not payable to HMRC because you became UK non-resident. I will become non-resident as soon as I leave UK and at that point not be taxable for the work I do. In practical terms this will be a matter of me claiming tax back at the end of the tax year in the same way that you did. I will not become tax resident in Thailand until I've been there half a year (180 or 183 days, cant recall right now) so my salary up until then will be tax free. I understand that I cannot legally work without a work permit but this seems to be overlooked by the Thai govt. as long as Thai jobs are not being taken and some of the income is being plowed back into the Thai economy, eg digital nomads.
