What a very strange lead post!!!

Very surprised you did not notice it before and 5 years is a long time but it seems you have survived unless you won the lotto that is and not being disrespectful

Good you got it sorted and just an experience where I am like to see the Bank book every 90 days and also add a very small amount to it and never ever let it go below 800K

Just be careful what you share and that included figures but this frozen state pension is barbaric.

Your figures do not add up and yes check mine each 4 weeks for a paltry amount and you sure you getting the pounds you quoted

Please let us know in the fullness in time but got P60s showing my tax taken from the UK Tax people 5th April 2024 to 2025, And yes because these are frozen the tax likely to be the same this next tax period which of course is differnt to the Thai one.

Same for other taxes and taxed in the UK you simply do not file or give these figures but been told several times my personal allowance is higher than my income and so do not fret and people keep going on about this 180 day but this Carl Turner who runs an expat tax company also mentioned in a very recent broadcast too. My local Revenue Office have stated this often and do have figures written down manually.

Some can also prove by means of a P60s and tax is shown and the small pensions are frozen so the tax would be the same for next year and yes the 2 dates are completely different.

Yes for those who can prove tax taken by the UK Tax Authorities and yes differing dates but most have fixed income which will be the same tax the following year.

P60s

Not linked at all and got mine renewed very recently!!

Advanced Member 6.7k Author Posted April 22, 2024 There has been some debate over several months about who must file a tax return in Thailand, which I think the TRD makes explicitly clear and is reflected in the Simple Tax Guide. I thought it might be useful however to also provide a quote from PWC on this subject which says: "The following individuals are required to file income tax returns for income earned in the preceding tax year irrespective of whether there is any tax due: • A person who has no spouse and earns income of more than Baht 60,000 • A person who has no spouse and earns income under category (1) (salaries and wages) of more than Baht 120,000 • A person who has a spouse and earns income of more than Baht 120,000 • A person who has a spouse and earns income under category (1) (salaries and wages) of more than Baht 220,000".

Say no more and obviously they certainly do differ.

No link whatsoever and on extension in January not even mentioned.

Where is your Director then and it seems very different view coming all over.

Let's face it no one knows and even the experts of which there are many and this very ill thought process so very poor indeed.

You simply can not without a Tin and in any case I do not need to by our local Revenue Office.

Just we agree to disagree and have neen told the complete reverse many times too

No need to fill in a tax form and your personal allowances is 500 K and inxome much less than that!!

Hidden costs for sure!!

Precisely and see my latest post today and yes before and yes have dealt with this a lot but just conveying consistently what the local Revenue have stated.

Well mine is 500K as can not allow for my wife as she is not over 65 and yes everyone mentioning this 220K but that is if one has employment in Thailand. Confirmed by my local Revenue Office and a Thai friend who has a Thai friend in there and do not fret you simply do not need one

As I have been told several times by my local Revenue Office I do not need to file a tax return and yes my personal allwances and exemptions are higher than my assessable income. And not going to and aware of this 220k but that is for employment income. As a matter of interest has anyone had a 15 so-called free consultation with Carl Turners ex pat firm as they seem as many other complicate matters with so many differing opinions. Thanks all

As a matter of interest has anyone booked a so-called free consultancy with the expats site and have cancelled a meeting further on in March but several times my local Revenue office state I simply do not need to file and yes my personal allowances exceed my assessable income so not tax to pay. I know about this 220K but if you had a neeting was it useful coz we are being swamped with so many differing view points. Thank and not filing
