I just blocked both so, so long suckers. No more air for you two.

Kerry Packers famous quote comes to mind, but you'll have to Google it, good old Kerry, he certainly wasn't an ideologue.

OMG Georgie Boy, I have missed you, still doing steroids and cleaning at the hospital, waiting for your superannuation LoL People who qualify for the full Age Pension, only need to have lived in Australia for 35 years, and not have worked one day in their lives, how good is that, keep working and paying taxes m8, I've been living here for over a decade and pay zero taxes, cashed in my super as well, some of us found the loophole, some of us aren't capable. Also a lot of guys here didn't get the house handed down to them, you know the one you rent out and live in the granny flat out back LoL

I am only talking about the age pension as is the topic (respectfully), I am not on the age pension, but used to keep up to date on the matter but left as someone had taken over it pushing his ben agenda which has nothing to do with it as it stands today. As my m8's are all on it, I did keep abreast, but no point now as mentioned above. What rebates ne gets doesn't apply to non-residents as far as I am aware, same with deeming rates, you can't get any rebates as a non resident and they will apply deeming rates to any additional worldwide income you have.

She hit the nail on the head in her video at 6.20 to 6.30, i.e. if your new country doesn't tax pensions, you could end up paying nothing at all. Now as far as I know, Thailand doesn't tax foreign pensions, e.g. again, I don't know any age pensioner that pays tax on their age pension here in Thailand. I am surprised you let that one slip conveniently, LoL

My reply was not intended to be taken as humorous. 2. I completed the form on the website as single with no, no and no, and none of the above for all other questions and answered no to: Did all of the following circumstances apply to you in the 2024-25 income year? * You were a foreign resident for tax purposes (full or part year) you had a Higher Education Loan Program, VET Student Loan or Australian Apprenticeship Support Loan(Opens help) debt, and your worldwide incomeopens in a new window Link opens in new window was above $13,608 and it all came back that I do not have to pay tax.

Most guys over here on the age pension when they applied said they are not married because they know that the pension could be less, that said, I even completed the form as married, and it came back that I am not required to lodge a tax return, now even a baby in dippers knows that if you aren't required to lodge a tax return, then you are not required to pay tax. I have provided the link, you chose to fill it in as you wanted to get the results you wanted, you do not speak for the majority of aged pensioners here, suffice to say, as far as the ATO website says, they do not have to pay tax and that is enough for me and I am sure for them, it's the end of the story, if you choose to carry on with your scaremongering, I personally won't provide you with anymore oxygen, which is what you need to carry on with your delirium. I am 110% certain that everyone on this forum, who has no other income, single or married and is on the age pension is fully aware that they do are not required to lodge a tax return which means they are not required to pay tax, regardless whether they are a resident or a non-resident, except for you. Like I have always said, you can lead the donkey to water, but you can't force it to drink, so enjoy your dehydration. Another one would be; why would a bee try to convince a fly that honey tastes better than S.... I have done my part on proving that if you are single or married, resident or non-resident, and have no other income, you do not have to lodge a tax return and therefore do not have to pay tax as an aged pensioner. Peace out.

Now there is a reason for that, copy this link, paste it into your URL and fill in the questions, and you will see that one doesn't have to lodge a tax return, nor pay tax on their Age Pension. https://www.ato.gov.au/single-page-applications/calculatorsandtools?anchor=DINTL#DINTL/questions Looks like you got yourself in a corner LoL, no doubt you won't accept the facts straight off of the ATO's website. That said, we won't hold out breath.

I couldn't help but notice that you used the word WILL as if to say this is something that will happen in the future when all this time you have said Age Pensions are taxable now, but fail to show us all any evidence of one Age Pensioner paying this tax. More the fool you are, so do us all a favor and man up or shut up.

Did I mention any names, surely you don't really expect me to reply adding fuel to your already extinguished fire, do you. Ok, I will, how about you read Articles 17, 18 and 19 and truly understand what it says, in particular, 17 with 18 and then show us something from somewhere, other than YouTube posts, or wellness articles ect ect that shows us unequivocally, that they ARE and HAVE been taxing Age Pensions, otherwise give us all a break, because we ALL know about laws and how legislation is made, but rarely enforced, especially with the Age Pension, suffice to say I know half a dozen Ozzie Age Pensioners here as Non Residents, who pay ZERO tax on their Age Pension, and they have been here from 3 to 20 years, so do explain to me how that is, they only lost the subsidies after being out of the country for 6 weeks onwards and any rental assistance they were receiving. Come on now Einstein, give it your best shot, not all those P weak rebellious and delusional rubbish posts that you keep clutching at, e.g. you will see, its coming, all the fear mongering with no substance, proof is what we want, suffice to say you might interpret the legislation as saying Age Pensioners are to be taxed in the state of residency or issuing country, but what we want to see is evidence that they have actually enforced it. The above said, I would like to hear from any Age Pensioners living here as Non Residence, do you pay tax on your Age Pension, it might Just add weight to what we all ready know, but will buggerlugs accept it, well we all know the answer to that LoL

2 hours, my bad, I usually go the next day and am 1st cab off the rank, so like some everyone has said, let it go and remember to be 1st cab off the rank next year. Revenge will be bitter sweet :)

Dame shame because we all used to contribute and receive good information from this post which has been around for over a decade. That said, it only takes one persistent tool to annoy everyone to finally pull the pin. The overall loss is to ASEAN NOW, but who am I to tell them how to run their forum, easy to just exit.

Online appointment LoL, I wish

That would make me one, haven't been on this forum because of his posts.

Recently I applied for my annual marriage extension (10th year). After going through the annual BS with the bank, the Amphur, photos, updating bank passbook again after making a withdrawal after visiting the bank to get the letter than photocopying the updated passbook, we drove to immigration which takes an hour. We entered, went to the desk where they have their little helpers (students) who went through the paperwork and handed it back. I proceeded to sit and wait, counted 6 people ahead of me, no queuing system, so you could imagine, anyways, I followed numbers 5 & 6 getting closer to the front desk, after 6, I walked towards the male immigration officer and he told me to go back and sit very rudely and then proceeded to take others who were behind my que, my wife entered after an hour and asked what was happening, and I explained, she then proceeded to ask the immigration officer about the queuing system and he said your husband has to take his papers to the desk, to which I replied, already done. We both don't like this guy, since day one, the other one who I haven't seen for a while, always asks for money for his Christmas Fund, which we refuse. Anyways, the lady there then called out something in Thai and there was a mad rush of Laos people handing their passports over, so my wife then showed them what a Lioness she can be, that's when I exited to the bathroom, upon my return she was sitting at the desk where the lady immigration officer was and told me to sit. I figured her words got through one way or another and we got served, in all took an extra hour from where I was originally in the que, so my question is, should I fire a rocket up them an request that they get a queuing system in order, or don't waste my time as I only have to see them once a year, which repulses me. Won't say which office it's at, however you can guess it's in Issan.

While this is a sad story, but reality, does his family want the burden ?
