Card

So as its not happened yet, how can you claim it can be gotten around. Durgggh!

Don't read them then.

Like how?

You don't understand common reporting standards do you? All your financial dealings are recorded. You bring in foreign currency in your baggage? Where will u exchange it in thailand? Forex dealings require your passport. Where will you get Thai baht to bring into the country? In a foreign bank, of course and your foreign bank is obligated to transfer all your financial dealings with the thai tax authorities! Tax evasion is a serious crime in thailand involving enormous fines and imprisonment and exile. Is tax evasion really worth it?

And that will come. A direct link will arrive when they start taxing global income and that is likely this year or next. There is already a proposal.put forward to the thai parliament by the Thai revenue dept. The next step is to put it into law

You don't understand. Foreign Credit card use to buy goods abd services in thailabd is assessable fir tax in thailand if you pay off the card debt using assessable income. All you card transactions involving what you buy and how you pay off the debt is recorded and accessible by the Thai tax authorities. If u pay fir example the card debt with savings from before 1 Jan 2024 then the card debt is not taxable in thailand.

Google 'Common reporting standard'. The dtas require full disclosure by participating states to prevent tax evasion

They just want to get rid of you. Answering questions just gives them a headache. To be certain you need ti get something in writing and officially stamped just as they do.

Using a foreign credit card from your home country fir goods and services in thailabd is treated the same as paying fir them with remitted funds. If the credit card us paid with funds in your home country and those funds are taxable in thailand then they are assessable. If not then they are not assessable. Do Some people really think the Thai tax dept like others that di the same around the workd haven't thought of such a potential.loophole?

That will apply to retirement visa extensions when they bring in global earnings tax this year ir next in my opinion.

Haha nice one. YOU have to prove it. You should not mix your earnings with your pre 1 Jan 2024 savings and have statements to prove it. No.mixing. otherwise it's too complicated to bother trying to prove it

Exactly. The dinosaurs who reject anything that takes them out of their Thailand comfort zone are in for a rude awakening.

Immigration will only need a letter from the Thai tax authorities to confirm that you have filed a tax return and it is in order. Immigration will use it like any other document u need for extension as long as it is validated by the relevant authority. Same with your bank statement and letter. But this is only likely when they bring in global earnings tax which is inevitable. The current remittance tax, which is now law, is just to warm us up.

He said nothing of value. Total waste of time

The regs have already been implemented for tax on remitted earnings abroad. Any taxable income remitted to thailand from 1 Jan 2024 have to be assessed by March this year at the latest. What's in the pipeline is global tax on earnings!

If only if that was wholly true. Paying taxes in uk on income there does not mean u don't have to file a tax return when u remit it to thailand. Taxation in uk only provides CREDITS fir tax already paid in uk. It dies not mean that it is not liable for filing or tax liability in thailand.

It does. UK govt pensions, not state pensions, are nit taxable in thailabd due to the dta. If only they are remitted they Di not have to be filed

If u remit earnings that are assessable in thailand above 120000 baht per year irrespective of their tax status in uk then u need to file a tax return in thailabd

Repetition is no defence!

Correct. Except u don't need to obtain a TIN or file a tax return if u only remit non taxable income to thailand from abroad

There is a legal requirement in the uk to report taxable earnings above tax free limits annually. Just because you have not signed up fir self assessment dioes not mean you do not have to file fir tax if you have taxable income.

Yes sorry. I mean global earnings tax.

It's not correct. You do not have to get a TIN or file a tax return in thailand if you only transfer funds that are not taxable in thailand and I stress 'only'

I have already stood corrected on that issue. Look at my correction. But I would take advice if u intend to flit to the philippines

You can go via the tax evasion path if u like but then u could be looking over your shoulder fir the rest if your life esp when u pass through immigration.
