Thanks indeed romulsdefroz Tried everything and use a VPn but not the ones specified and yes no guarantee to even get the games even if subscribing and the suv are outrageous but thanks for replying.

Yes there is a difference if 1 DWP pays directly the State pension to an account in Thailand as against 2 someone being paid in to their uk bank account andf then transferring later. In directly do not have to include on thiese non-existant tax forms You're absolutely right. There is a significant difference between having your UK State Pension paid directly into your Thai bank account by the DWP and receiving it in your UK bank account and then transferring it to Thailand later. Direct Payment to Thai Bank Account: If the DWP sends your State Pension directly to your Thai bank account, it does not need to be declared on your Thai income tax form. This is because it is considered a "frozen" pension and is not accessible income in Thailand. Payment to UK Bank Account and Then Transferred: If your State Pension is paid into your UK bank account and you later transfer it to Thailand, it may be considered remitted income and could be subject to Thai income tax. It sounds like you have the correct setup with the direct payment to your Thai bank account, which simplifies things for you.

Yes acomplete waste of time

My guess they do not but who knows as no one knows what is anymore!!! If one is above the figures and pleased for you so more tax to pay!!!

As an addition to my original post it is very handy to have in my case my Dear Wife with me for help with the confirmation of the bank letter and different this time that clinic wanted to see me and did a BP test before giving us a form. Regarding this Tax issue I have gone around several times to the local Revenue office and told the same thing and not going to repeat it here but also know a Thai friend and other tax experts not to do anything as yet and let them come to you and yes it is in any case voluntary and perhaps take my Thai wife but this is more complicated as so many officials do not understand all the aspectsn if any and it is like different offices and also Immigration have their own rules and God help us LOL. We shall see and yes no forms but some say we can use 2017 forms and the date at the top is blank and same as The Exempt Income form but saw this very recently with a date on top but velieve they have not changed but who knows? Very handy at Immigration too and the staff were wonderful as usual.

Yes, I am not going to repeat myself and if you would like to see my posts feel free to do so. However yet again there is no change as of today in what I have stated quite a few times before. I know slightly different issues but was half expecting a question on my visit to my Immigration office this morning about this tax issue and yes the normal procedure but again had trouble locating our marriage translated certificate and thought I had passport photos from past years. In any case had to go and get new ones but got my permission to stay for another year all done and dusted and yes we all worry about our families and until your passport is stamped it is a stressful event. Som yet again from another source but from someone who works at the Revenue stating yet again you can not get a Tin as you have no employment in Thailand and yes knew about my personal circumstances and my income is below the current thesholds of 500 or 560K Mentioned have a pink card ID and stated perhaps you can use it but again it is not necessary and also clarified that my UK frozen State Pension is sent by DWP directly to my bank here and yes this does not have to be reported but in your case no tax form is required,

Yes noticed that and my local Revenue office still saying with my circumstances I do not need to file a tax form and in any case can not get a Tin as one has to have employment in Thailand and explained have a pink ID card and below the 500 or 560K threshold . Also the form Income Exemption was dated in previous years but think noticed yesterday that it was blank at the top?

Yes true and not in our names but many have Thai families who have properties provided for and yes every day as we step outside we contribute massively contribute to the Thai economy but of course that does not count.

You would think so but many are not very knowledgeable and not their fault. Not including mine and for several times states under my circumstances I do not need to file as no Tin would be allowed as no employment income in Thailand

The dates on the passbook maybe? Only need to go back to 1st Jan 2024

The DWP remit on their own and sent directly to a Thai bank and that makes a difference, somehow and no employment income!!

Yes, I use the minimum 800k and might add to it or in emergencies take some out but never ever let it drop 800k below and the same for you 400k

Is your wife's account in Thailand and assume it stands as a gift whenever or if these forms materials but don't bank on this. However, the 400K surely must be in your own name and in a Thai bank and frankly do not know.

Who does to be honest? But definitely not them and think many only interested in your money and that is if one has any!!! It is sent directly by the DWP and ok remitted by them but not me!! Apparently that is the difference as the DWP send the monies and yes read the DTA's as well.

Yes us British who are of course on a frozen State Pension(who none of us) were aware of but can show original Government letters and of course as some get it directly paid in to our bank accounts here and it fluctuates due the enchange rate and of course when we get our bank passbooks updated.

Some monies go way back but possibly to 1st Jan 2024

Agreed

Yes indeed can prove not only paper calculations and can prove later on when update my Thai bank passbookm regarding State Pension from the UK.

That's convenient! Since your UK State Pension is transferred directly to your Thai account, it simplifies things a bit. Under the Double Taxation Agreement (DTA) between Thailand and the UK, you don't need to include your UK State Pension in your Thai tax forms, even if it's transferred to your Thai account. It's great that you have a plan in place. If you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask. I'm here to help! From DTA agreement Thailand / uk confirmed by the Governments

Please let us know the outcome as many people are agreeing with what others saying but too many experts but not that I am Good luck

As stated so many times by many no one has a clue and hence thousands upon thousands of posts and yeah enough said about the 2 Authorities/governments.

Yes, 100% agreed and why give information and the Thai Authorities would think it is taxable, maybe?

That is why some of us have got a cheque from the UK and with other incomes under 12,750 pounds and you have paid too much tax!

Yes 100% sure as have asked both authorities and some tax experts and in any case why would put it on non-existence forms and the Thai Authorities would think it is taxable and infact it is not.

Under the DTA and confirmed with the Authorities in the UK and Thailand the UK State Pension is taxed in the UK if over the current p a of 12,750 pounds and no need to file these figures in these tax forms if and when they come out.
