Not disputing the amount of possible future tax that you may have to pay, without even thinking about any alleged new DTA's in the Matrix.....LoL, but from the tax scale I had the threshold is slightly different, see below workings based on your (part age pension) using 23 baht as the exchange rate. $1,700 x 12 = $20,400 pa @ 23 tbh = 469,200 tbh - First 150,000 tbh is Exempt, therefore = 319,200 tbh (taxable remittance below) 300,000 @ 5% = 7,500 tbh tax + 19,500 @ 10% = 1,950 tbh tax = 9,400 thb tax in total Thai Tax Scale Taxable Income per year (Baht) Tax rate 0 – 150,000 Exempt 150,000 – 300,000 5% = 7,500 tbh 300,000 – 500,000 10% 20,000 tbh 500,000 – 750,000 15% 15,000 tbh Total tax payable = 42,500 tbh I stopped at the 500,000 - 750,000 tbh bracket because the age pension is around 50,000 tbh x 12 = 600,000 tbh pa Be interested on your thoughts I my workings, and or why your exemption of 190,000 is more than what I found, e.g. any deductibles in it ?

Can I enquire as to how you derived at 24k tbh tax on the age pension ?

These contraptions shouldn't be on the roads, however we all know cops here turn a blind eye, if it means they have to work for no extra money, only time they will get involved is when someone has an accident, then blame who they think fits the bill and will take their cut out of it.

This is very good advice, I recall Will27 suggesting it sometime back, and I am temped, however, there is some kind of weirdness watching a madman type away for hours, thinking he is right about his future predictions (scaremongering) that no one here is interested in, albeit I think I have also become mad to read his posts. His constant deflections and unwillingness to accept that he is wrong, supports my theory/judgement call it what you may, and not responding to him directly as I stated that I wouldn't, although difficult at times, has saved me hours on end, trying to save someone who lost it a long time ago, and I don't even know the bloke, which is the funniest part of it all. The above said, I am now heading off to block him as I am sure it will give me less brain damage and more time to read stuff relevant in today's world, not tomorrow when they are going to drop the nuks...just before I get my age pension, and was going to pay my ZERO taxes to Thailand after I take out all of those permittable deductions. If HK is reading this post, which I know he will, all I have to say is, keep up the good work in your own mind, but not here, do we have to beg....LoL

Someone suffering delusions of grandeur stated on their 2nd last post on page 201 that I said that you don't pay tax on the Australian Age Pension in Australia. Perhaps he can read my post reply to Will27 on post on page 189, I could copy and paste it but that would take all the fun out of it. The above said I doubt that it would make one bit of difference because a horse with blinkers on, won't turn to look.

Someone who's name eludes me at the moment has been banging on about old age pensioners who are residents in Thailand paying 15% tax. Clearly he still has no idea what he is talking about. You see, according to my calculations, it's 7%, why, because the first 150,000 THB is the tax free threshold. So it goes like this for those interested, e.g. Age Pension for a single bloke is about 50,000 THB x 12 = 600,000 THB. Taxable Income per year (Baht) Tax rate 0 – 150,000 Exempt 150,000 – 300,000 5% (7,500 THB) 300,000 – 500,000 10% (20,000 THB) 500,000 – 750,000 15% (15,000 THB) Total tax payable = (42,500 THB) Then you have your deductibles as Lacessit has mentioned in a precious post, that said, by the time you get your deductions out the way, you will end up paying pretty much ZERO tax on your Age Pension. https://taxsummaries.pwc.com/thailand/individual/deductions After all of the above, I suppose we should be biting our fingernails for when this alleged new DTA arrives....LoL

Same rhetoric year in, year out, yet we still see all the fields go up in smoke while they line their pockets and we breath in the smoke.

THB 60,000 about 5 years ago. Big house, so cart it around from room to room when I want. Hospital grad, not for everyone's budget, that said, I see it as a long term investment that has already paid itself off, because you have never breathed fresh air till you have used one of these. Besides, you only live once, so might as well, breath well, especially here with all the smoke.

I'm a lover, not a fighter, and no I have never been in a fight, too smart for that, albeit it, I kick sand in my own face when at the beach.

You lost the battle when you asked. Next you will be quoting me Voltaire whom I believe you would be well aware of as you state, you read a lot, however appear to be somewhat uneducated IMO. “It is forbidden to kill; therefore all murderers are punished unless they kill in large numbers and to the sound of trumpets.”

Oh really, when did they invade the great USA, or when did they intend to ? I suppose it's like saying Iraq had weapons of mass destructions too, none found to date...LoL You don't say, and who paid for that error with their lives, certainly not the politicians, they lined their pockets, didn't they, compliments the Military Industrial Complex. Tell that to yourself.

Really, so what was the "machine" invented for, wait, don't tell me, to save American lives that were under attack in a foreign country right, ooops, never mid the casualties, there not ours anyway. https://www.holloman.af.mil/About/Fact-Sheets/Display/Article/317295/f-4-phantom-ii/#:~:text=The F-4 Phantom II,interdiction and close-air support.

The mother-in-law from hell.....LOL

I wonder how much time he will do, probably none, which will send a clear message to others to continue to give out our personal information. When my wife is on the phone and says Tiruk, how much do we pay for our car insurance, I say hang up, and then when she says but I have an insurance company on the phone who says they can do us a better deal, oh, really, ask them where they got your number from and then we can start to talk, they then hang up when my wife says, my husband is a farang and wants to know where you got my number from....LoL

It further backs up what I have been saying all along with regard to the Double Taxation Agreement between Australia and Thailand, Article's 18 & 19 to be specific.

Apologies if I am bringing you bad news. From my limited understanding of the new code, it states that if you are a tax resident of Thailand, i.e. 180 days in a financial year I believe, and you remit money from abroad to Thailand, apart from savings, which is not an income, then it isn't taxable. Now, I believe that your superannuation would be savings (forced savings) in one way or another and therefore not taxable, i.e. in Australia if you take it out after age 60. It would be up to the Thai government to want to understand that interpretation, and if it would apply here in the LOS, i.e. you put money into your superannuation as future savings for your retirement, and now that you are retired, your Superannuation is savings that you draw down on, and that it was taxed going in, e.g. 15%, and no tax paid coming out, as that was the incentive for people to save for their future retirement, so as not to burden the Australian Government having to pay Age Pensions, now whether they turn around and say, yeh, well, that agreement was between you and your government when you were a resident in Australia, however now you are a resident here, and if I read correctly the DTA in particular Article's 18 & 19 provide Thailand the right to tax you here as a resident, as you are remitting your pension here, and it hasn't been taxed in Australia. Please let me know your thoughts on this, I am not saying I am right, just presenting the facts the way I see it, and it sounds like they can tax you here, as much as it irks me to say it. This is particularly relevant for those living in Thailand and surviving on their Australian age-pensions, and/or on their Australian (non-government) superannuation pensions, as the tax treaty states that ONLY Thailand can tax those pensions! https://www.expattaxes.com.au/update-thailand-clarifies-tax-on-foreign-income/#:~:text=This is particularly relevant for,Thailand can tax those pensions!

More clarification on the DTA in regard to the Age Pensions & Superannuation Pensions, whereby the below clearly states that Thailand can only tax Pensions, boo-hoo. I strongly believe that someone has truly buried their head in the sand (HK) as opposed to "researching" further as we haven't heard from him and his so called admittance to be wrong yet.....expected though. My my, at the press of a button (research), I found this to add. This is particularly relevant for those living in Thailand and surviving on their Australian age-pensions, and/or on their Australian (non-government) superannuation pensions, as the tax treaty states that ONLY Thailand can tax those pensions! https://www.expattaxes.com.au/update-thailand-clarifies-tax-on-foreign-income/#:~:text=This is particularly relevant for,Thailand can tax those pensions!

I have yet to see evidence that both Russia and China are a threat to world peace, (American propaganda), yet the rhetoric is always the same as to how they brainwash their weak, and others. NATO is nothing more than a puppet for the American Military Industrial Complex, and I applaud how BRICS is sticking it to them by moving away from the US $ in return, suffice to say, that is a major threat to American, and I can't wait for the US $ to tank after dominating all currencies since WWII, time to take it down a notch fellas'...LoL

Just remember to say, that you are back to stay, and if you buy a unit, that should add weight to your application. See copy and pasted on the 2 years, at the very bottom. If you have separated from your wife, they should accept a Statutory Declaration as I have been told, otherwise divorcing, if you are legally married in Australia will cost you $1,000 upwards, so the Stat Dec would be the cheaper alternative, suffice to say, if you were married in Australia and are now separated, you might want to consider divorcing because she could go you half the unit IMO, perhaps seek legal advice on that. My advice would be not to mention that your wife, if still married or not, has land, as they could put that down as an asset. You see, if you are married, you will get the married pension, but at the single rate, i.e. a few hundred bucks less than the single rate, so if your separated, go the single age pension route, and of course, the less you tell them the better the outcome, they are not your friend and will reduce the age pension where they can, and even decline you if they think you will go back after the 2 years. If you get through all of those hurdles, then after 2 years, you can go back and have the age pension made portable. Good luck. Since 20 September 2000, a former resident who returns to Australia and is granted Age or DSP, or who transfers to Age under SS(Admin)Act section 12, cannot take that pension outside Australia if they leave within 2 years of having resumed residence in Australia. The purpose of this legislation is to discourage people from travelling to Australia just to get an Australian pension to take back overseas. The 2-year period includes, as separate full days, the day on which the recipient returns to Australia to resume Australian residence and the day on which they leave again. There is no discretionary power to allow portability of Age or DSP during the 2-year period (note, some exceptions to the 2-year rule apply - see below). Payment may be suspended for short overseas absences during the 2-year period and does not have to be reclaimed on return to Australia. A short absence from Australia (as long as the person is still classed as an Australian resident) will not impact on the end date of the 2-year period (i.e. the absence still counts towards the person's 2-year period).

Ah yes the F4 and it's purpose for killing and invading countries that hadn't invaded America, but it supported the military industrial complex and the elitists pockets. Lets not talk about the children that got caught up in this madness. There is no justification for this or any type of weapons that kill in wars, yet sitting down and negotiating until one comes to a common ground has no monetary value, does it, just look at Ukraine and Palestine at the moment. So shallow, perhaps your parasites' are your punishment from the GOOD old days catching up with your past, if that's the case, well what can I say ?

In that case it could be "Tactical Hallucinations" hence the reason I was asking the questions.

Before I dive into this, I would like to ask the following questions. Do you live alone ? If you do not live alone, are there any other family members infected, or do they have what you have or see what you have or even see what you see ? These are serious question, I am not taking the p-ss out of you, just trying to understand the broader picture if there is one.

If it were me, I would have provided him with three options, the 1st would be for him to STFU, or the 2nd option would be for me to gag him, and the 3rd, to ask the stewards to turn the lights down, whilst I knock him out with one punch, naturally after offering him all 3 options, I would then provide him with the 3rd option whether he liked it or not. I think it's time Stewards did some training on how to apply pepper spray and how to put on handcuffs in situations like this. I hope he doesn't get let off easily, and the plan returned to Thailand, were justice could be better served than in the UK, fricken nutter. “Two passengers sat on either side of him and kept pulling him down. We had to put up with his shouting. He was being very verbally abusive.

If your hear on an extension, I see no reason why you can't, that said, accounts have fees, e.g. I believe SCB charge me 200 or 300 baht a year to have an account, and of course pay me SFA interest and tax me 17% of that interest, not 100% sure if that is the case, but someone told me if you don't have a TIN, they charge you tax on your interest earned, fair enough, whatever. I don't deal with SCB staff at all, just make withdrawals from the app via any ATM machine and pay no fees, regardless if in or out of the province, and transfer funds to them from overseas, only time staff see me is for my annual extension letter that I require from them to confirm the funds have been in there for the time required, used to wait 45 minutes, now about 15-30 minutes, still a waste of time, but it is what it is.

I would imagine most bikes would come with 2, my son purchased a new Yamaha R150 recently and was provided with 2, one he has since lost......LoL Go back to the shop, or ring them and tell them you only received one key, who knows the other might be under your seat.
