So from now on from 28th June, we are classed as a resident of Thailand. Income tax returns have to be completed from Jan 1st, 2025 until 31st March 2025. I have asked several people and friends who are Thais who knows people in the local tax office and have not heard of this issueas of yet and I think that it is not on the Stature Book. The forms were only in Thai but led to believe that there is an English version of it and if so can anyone give me and us a link please. However, yes indeed many months to go and advised to just sti back and believe the forms might be revamped in some ways. I know there is a long thread but again many people and the tax experts stating just hang fire for now. Thanks all John West

Thanks again, Mike O really appreciate everything you so, and yes we have all so much on our minds all of the time !!!

Mike and have tried the local sites re this issue but can not find the form and as you say it will probably change but do we sit tight? Think I will and still many questions not answered but not by you Mike ok. Thanks agaim for all yur help

Thanks again, Mike and the other allowances would show and yes think many like myself will not have much more than 500K per annum There again will they chase those with similar incomes but never go for the big fish here and around the world!!!

Mike thanks again just a minute or so ago got an email from Carl Turner the expat tax expert stating if you are still in Thailand then you are past the 180 days and now a tax resident and he is suggesting that if one as an individual has 120K Baht income or 200k joint ie wife then you must submit a tax return and assume locally. Ok so far but it is not on the Statue Book as yet, unless I have missed it but yes asked a Thai friend about this issue and they have not heard of it and the forms are not in English. So what do we do to await the English version? My wife does not and has not filed ever a tax return and does not work full stop so she has to file a return? Think sort of saw the Thai version and I not sure where but sure on this site but what to do now and act in Dec/Jan Thank Mike and all John West

Hi Everyone Many thanks in particular to Mike Lister and there are others and not replying to any particular post. Yes, we have friends who know someone who works in the local tax office and they know nothing about this prospective income tax situation and yes it is not surprising as I stress it still has to hit the Statute Book as yet. There were a few postings and the forms in Thai but it has not been converted to an English edition as yet I fully understand the allowances under the tax system and the only query is the 60k allowance for my wife who does not work (she does not need to register then but I can claim her 60k right?) Also, have my state pension paid directly to my Thai account but I have ordinary savings in my account in the UK which has gone down substantially, and use Wise to transfer but for living expenses and there are some other small pension monies but some ordinary savings. Could this be taxed as I have stated nothing as yet on the Statute Book and my guess well into the end of the year if not later? Just in passing and I know different departments and again we are not sure if these would work together but cut to the chase and went in to do my 90-day reporting and thought that they might ask me about this income tax issue but no nothing and in and out in literally 2 minutes. One final point is that on my Internet banking just recently noticed an HM Tax office option in red. Just trying to help out and to give information again many thanks Mike Lister and others. I also have kept in touch with a tax advisor for ex-pats with the video recently made and told me would keep posted but seemed to think much later on in the year if at all!!! Just sharing my recent experiences and hope helpfull. Sincerely John West TC all

Lucky you and Choke dee

Wow, Have my own home but have 2 Grandchildren and at the moment over 50k and sometimes 70k and nothing fancy but go out occasionally and electric very high 5k and even local restaurants cost a bit.

Village life is a proper place for engaging ith the local population and good and bad everywhere in the world for sure!!!

Many do and yes good and bad everywhere in the world and much worse in USA and Blighty!!!

What channel then and do not say PP36TV was asking the question can I see it on home computer on this site. I was talking about the very expensive like True but please advise which site does the249 Baht then and thanks. Good luck

tHERE IS ALWAYS ONE GRRRRRRRRRRRR

We all know that PPTV36 is on television but is it also accessible on Facebook and has a site for it. Are there any other channels apart from the outrageous subscription ones. Many thanks for your help

And all over the World too ut never go for the filthy rich as it is too difficult for them but get bribes etc in return

Good luck with that and many of us have absolutely nothing in Blighty but have wonderful Thai families but the Authorities certainly do not take this in account!!

I know PPTV 36 has won the right to show all the European football matches and 2 more stations but they are not yet known as of posting this. Obviously, it is on TV and did look it up on my home computer and there is a site but can you watch matches on the home computer as well? Reason is the TV is elsewhere at the moment lol Yes did try on the Facebook site but probably too early to be sure of getting this on my home computer but guess that I can. Thanks for any help and yes KO times at 2 am during the week

We pay tax every time we go out already!!

ASIF the wealthy always do not get chased up and not just Thailand this happens all around the world.

Very fair and accurate post but sometimes people and not saying, in this case, a person has done nothing wrong but just randomly attacked and being in the wrong place at the wrong time!!!

A Wai only and a fine and then forgotten.

Mikem enjoy your break well deserved and yes tcan claim for my wife an not tax return.

Really Covit?

Who knows but the lawyers stated 2 different deoartments but any country in the world would not sniff of getting more taxes from the general public Thais and Foreigners in Thailand but many woll not be over the threasholds but whether the Authorities will chase up is anyones guess.
