  1. it has if you are a new retiree and have to bring money in to get your visa
  2. So I expect the Thailand gov will increase the amount you will need from 800k per year upwards to take in to case their TAX grab
  3. Then your allowances would be. Over 65> 190k Personal Allowance 60k First 150k tax free allowance. Up to 100k allowance offset against pension income Total allowance: 500k So at £8000 per annum @ 44 baht to the £ = 352k So, you are still under your total all Yet the pension allowance is 800k per year which currently the Thai government thinks is what you need to live here so tax will have to be paid on that 800 - 500 balance 300K TAXABLE
  4. With all his billions you think that would be enough... 4 him never Enough I think the reason he pissed on the 10k wallet is because he was not involved and was too late to get his nose in the Troff. So expect another big hand out to the people of some sort in the future that he will have his hands all over it for another big pay out for him and the family
  5. Be poor be Happy and Eat Bugs that is the future for most if they get their way.
  6. No way will this happen the people will not let it
  7. Went to the Hilton in Phattya yesterday for my 77 th birthday for lunch for 4 my shout. The place was 20% full which made it a pleasant lunch hour for us not good for the hotel. Bill came to 3200 Bhat = 3 bottles of water and a dry martin for me. They gave me a nice small birthday cake free which we all eat while seated. Maybe the price puts most off and as I looked out of the window to the distance only see 4 sea parachutes while in the old days they would have been even in low season 25 flying
  8. Does that mean my HP Sauce? will go up in price 😞
  9. Glad to get the conversation going I am a New Zealander, so it does not bother me what they do with the U.K. government pensions.
  10. This from today the Fabulous Phattaya Media Group Edited just now by whiteman
  11. I hear that they are now x referencing your so-called U.K. living addressers with passport control so that they can see when you leave the country and how long you are out to see if you are claiming the cpi increasers on your government super. Big brother is now watching you and if you are fiddling the system be warned. Penalties spoken about are stopping pensions until cpi arrears are fully paid back over all the years claimed.\ This from today the Fabulous Phattaya Media Group
  12. To build a canal without British consent is the way to go after you got their consent and not allow the Chinese's anywhere near it.
  13. brought a big lump sum in when I got 21.9 bhat to the nz $ too late to do anything now just hang on in their guy's new year's present for some.
  14. I bet a lot of money will flow into Thailand just b4 the end of this month mine included then I will just sit back with 2 years expenses already here till the dust settles. In two years, the Thais will just about have got it right by then.
  15. Just asking I get paid a tax-free pension in New Zealand from a defined benefit plan that I had for over 30 years with AXA. When I first started to pay into it the product said all pensions will in the end be paid to the member Tax free. So I am wondering did Axa pay the tax on the accumulating returns over the 30 years that it earned on my contributions? If so do I pay tax on any money I bring in from the proceeds of this pension?
