The DTA does not cover this type of income. It is taxable in Thailand.

Many of the elderly feel safer handling their cash inside the branch, and not on the footpath. There's good reason for this. Many of them would get their handbag snatched just leaving the ATM on pension day. Probably why some banks now have their ATM's behind sliding doors, 24/7, that you need to swipe your card to gain access.

One is "entitled" to apply for it based on age. Whether they are approved to receive it, or part of it, is a different story.

There will be no Aussie aged pension in the future for people who have worked throughout their life. Their super will push them over any means testing, so no pension for them. Same old, same old. The workers paying for those who can, but don't work, ever.

Can you give an example? Seems like the usual suspects to me.

Thank you for following me. I post in more than two forums. Be sure to check out all my posts, and hit the like button.

Probably because, unlike you, I post content.

That's because your link was worth <deleted> all. Nothing new in it.

Members should already be formulating a Plan B, a Plan C and a Plan D.

Might have something to do with all the Aussie call centers there.

I agree, and less stringent foreign labor laws.

You know the saying about death and taxes. If you don't want to pay tax, that only leaves the other option.

How was the American housing market in 2008, and for some years after that?

31st March is looming. Members will need to be proactive. No one wants to be the one they make an example of.

For some, it will be financially beneficial to say "bye bye Thailand" for 6 months of the year. For others, they will simply pay their tax liability because it's not so big. Some may have to make a judgement call if this tax still means Thailand is a value for money place to live full time. For high net worth individuals, it may be a game changer. Also, for pensioners, a little out of a little can be a lot to them. Interesting times ahead.

I know the Revenue Department boss has made these comments, but isn't this thread "scaremongering?" I mean, so many members think this tax issue will go away, and this thread is just scaring them. Maybe it should be deleted. After all, if we don't know about it, we can't be scared of it.

Researched it thoroughly some years ago. I soon decided I'm going going to pay for something that I cab not fully own, which also includes a portion of the land it sits on. The Permanent Residency issue was a minor concern, but still a concern. You only get to live in your condo based on "permission" to remain in Thailand. You don't have a "right" to remain in Thailand. Each to their own, just don't use the word "freehold" in the western sense when discussing property here because it's BS. "Bo more" implies you did them in the past. Right? The word "alien" appears in many official Thai forms and documents.

Workers.

That is good for you, me, and other members. Put me on ignore so other members do not have to put up with your trolling.

Why immediately blame Acer? As I was reading through your post I was thinking a power surge got to it. Not uncommon in Thailand.

It's an interesting decision by Microsoft. As I have said before, it's possible Windows 11 becomes the least used Windows OS in history, due to their decision not to allow it to run on what they deem to be hardware not suitable to them.

Be careful with threats like that. You'll end up on "The Big T" watch list.

You can do it any way you like. No one on here cares, but ignoring the whole thing MAY have some negative consequences for you down the road. Time will tell.

As the say, "Up to you."

I knew someone would bring up the "heroines." That's Thailand's only claim to fame.
