Feedback from Revenue Contacts is here. 

 

A discussion on Gift Tax is here (to be created)

 

A link to the TRD English language site, containing tax forms, instructions, tax guide and useful extracts from the tax code, here.

 

Copies of all Dual Tax Agreements' here.

 

 

Thanks MikeLister for all you are doing..quick question for my elderly friend who has a Non Immig 'O' (Retirement) extension.

He has registered with the TRD and has been given a Tax ID number.

He lives on his Savings alone which were accrued in his country prior to January 1, 2014, of which he can provide proof of if requested by the TRD.

Do you think this money would be assessable when it arrives into his Thai Savings Account?

Your thoughts appreciated.

Depends on the person.

 

If it does turn out to be a Neo Nazi attacking immigrants expect to have the suspect's birth certificate, medical records and full social media history within the next hour or so. 

Next-of-Kin need to be notified and an Official Identification done before anything else.

They do...that the rider is being prosecuted means that they are enforcing traffic laws.

..Police should also charge the following rider with contravening the red light; he had to lock up as he was about to collide with the woman...geez!

Minimum 2k but a 7 year old could do it on line these days, so a waste of money

..i reckon if he did get a Tax ID, he could claim the Fines as a Deduction.

Plenty rain here, Hat Yai's already had 150mm so far this month; the expected rainfall for the whole of January is 50mm. But at least it's cleaning up the dirty air that's been coming down from the north.

don't worry there's plenty more fine dust/mud on the way.

Out for a walk this morning in BK & passed a taxi driver who thankfully was just zipping up. He smiled at me, but luckily didn't go for a high-five. It's not pleasant for females. 

...well he wouldn't have got his tossle jammed in the zip would he!

You need to check your country's DTA carefully - my US DTA says specifically that my civil service pension can ONLY be taxed by the US govt.  Same with social security and if too low, the ss might below taxable income in US but still by virtue of the wording in the DTA it still is not taxable by Thailand, only the US.

..once again, this Topic is about Australian Pensions not US.

To the best of my knowledge Mike Lister has only ever posted re US & UK. I've never seen him make any reference to the Oz DTA.

 

The TRD dopes NOT, based on my experience yesterday, consider the Australian Aged pension, when remitted into Thailand, as assessable as THEY deem it to be a social security payment, which under Thai tax law is not taxable.

..whatever, but Posters in his Topic have discussed it, probably off Topic.

As you are aware you can download all the Dual Taxation Agreements in PDF to make your own determinations.

I contacted the ATO a few months ago for clarification, all they could advise is follow what it says and do not avoid/evade paying taxation..(wow that was a revelation).

Today i went to my local TRD and on presenting my filled in Form 91 was asked, 'is this for Thai Immigration'...hmm!, 'no' i replied.  The Clerk proceeded to open TRD online and entered all my information. She clarified that seeing as was a former State Government employee and therefore a Contributor to a compulsory Superannuation scheme, i did not have those monies assessed by the TRD. (I asked about the Aged Pension, but was told it was Assessable..

She then deleted all the entries she had made and signed out, telling me there was no need for me to lodge a Tax Return in Thailand as no tax was payable in my situation having limited Income and Deductions. She handed me the Attachment below and wished me a Happy New Year. FYI

What does Thailand's DTA with Australia say about it?

Australian Aged Pension is under the Tax Threshhold; however in the eyes of the TRD it is Foreign Sourced Income with no Tax having been paid in the Contracting State, therefore assessable in Thailand. Regarding Superannuation if you worked for the Government (Federal/State/Local Government instrumentality) then that Pension is Non-assessable. That is my take. (Have a look at AseansNow member MikeLister's thread on this).

Not required, only for the plebs trying to comply 

...so i could save 400b by not providing a 12 month statement, just a Bank Letter confirming my 800k plus and Updated Bank book!

Needs to be Bangkok Bank, they open a new account if you don't already have one. 800k get transferred in, bank letter gets printed showing the balance and the 800k goes back out, not a secret

..and what about the much scrutinised 'seasoning' period, how is this overcome?
