Also no tax payable!!! Per my local Revenue Office and several times ok

Very very sad indeed and increasing it seems and yes when one can easily get cheap drugs and as for what they teach at school (not all schools tbf) However, I respect their religion but everyone it seems from a very young age and even before schooling are it seems forced to do so and yes normally do not discuss it or the politicians the same throughout the world) Yes, indeed say no more!! I used to teach and quite a few of the Thais I know or knew asking "What exactly do they teach at school"

Yes, they have told me several times at the Revenue and yes up to everyone what to do or not.

Yeah but when they have stated no need to file and they not going to give one a letter are they? Your circumstances it seems very different to others? And in the system always!!!

The money soon goes down with 3 Grandchildren and yes most hardly got any saving and yes no houses or family back in Blighty but hey ho would not have changed things as we had circumstances and could no buy out the ex but nearly 18 years out here and loved it to be fair. Uk is a <deleted>e hole and we have all mad e mistakes but other circumstances outside our control but enjoy each day as and when it comes and yes seeing family grown up is amazing and many contributed massively re houses etc etc/

The Department with no pensions but we would be found out and wonder those getting increases regarding a false address get clobbered and detest them we all do

Yes, Tom They supposed to be sent randomly I have received 4 of them in 8 years but the last one sent by ordinary post and not received and telephoned them the other day Nothing is easy and yeah well my Family tried several times to put me on the family scheme but no!!

We would be found out and The Department of no Pensions and those getting increases with a false address hope they are clobbered but no and we all detest the DWP.

Yes, Tom and yes people say do not worry too much but we all do and on several things regarding our special Thai families. Hey ho but they go for the easy target and not the filthy rich in all countries and yes in Thailand too nut they have connections in high places and makes us all fume

Yes I do understand your concern and really not sure but my local Revenue office and a Thai friend whose partner works in a Revenue office has stated the same thing and so many differing views but as one of the well know phrases "Up to you" Also the original poster stating yikes on their system!!! I am for my sins a British Citizen.

Think the 100k and 190k is listed on the old forms and no new forms are out but it is confusing and just not sure ok

Yes, it seems your exemptions are higher than your income and have a Thai friend whose partner works at the local Revenue office no need to file and yes do see your anxiety but other posts stating be careful you are in the system and so many differing views from the so-called experts. Up to you as the Thai saying goes but we await most of us and always the question "Do you work here"? No, so you do not need to file.

WOW!!! And I so not work or via the compuer and in January I renewed my permission to stay by means of retirement and no mention of a tax form.

Some of the queries is it a Civil Service pension or a Frozen State Pension from the UK and apparently the former is exempt and my personal allowances are more than my income coming in and no do not have to file a form as per my local Revenue office and several times.

What an answer and he was just asking a question!!

Very interesting and can not advise you on this and yes the lack of forms and all the personal allowances are not on them no new forms but have been advised several times by my local Revenue Office that my personal allowances are higher than my income and I do not need to fill in a tax form. I get your concern and yes people been stating this and they obviously have you on their system and yes maybe ignore it and yes a Thai friend's wife friend works in the local Revenue and stated the same and there is a wide differing opinions on this tax issue.

No forms and yet again, I have been told by my local Revenue that I do not need to file and have asked "Do you have employment in Thailand? No and mentioned my allowances are higher than any income coming in and also mentioned I have a pink ID Card That makes no difference you still do not need to file.

They talk <deleted>e as per normal but sorry even the so-called experts fighting each other!!!

Again been be told you do not need to file as my allowances are more than my income

Right as most of us have read and seen all these posts from so-many experts and a close friend a Thai was again asking me about this clear as mud income tax policy and yes his partner knows someone who works in the local Kanchanaburi Revenue Department and no do not fret too much and let them come to you as if going on their system and again and again been told you do not need to file a tax return Do you work here?? No I do not so why are you trying to fill in a form and it is not needed in your circumstances and in any case the deductibles outweigh the income coming in and some of them are not listed and 2 are the 190K old age allowance and the 100k Pension allowance and the others not listed. Come on how many have had the same issue and been told the same thing and mentioned have a pink ID card and so what you still do not need to file.

The so-called professionals are all at odds with each other and frankly went up to my locaL Revenue office several times and "Do you have employment here"? No so why for you want to file under the thresholds with my income and no need. I had written figures showing my UK State Pension and they did not need this and basically stated do not worry and will keep my handwritten records just in case. Yes, No Tin needed and also stated have a pink ID card and again makes no difference and yes been reading so many thousands of differing posts.

Seriously are they really going to ring you and please let us know if they did??

I have also mentioned having a pink ID card and again no need to file yes also got proof of tax on very small pensions in the UK and have the P60s up to of course 5th April 2024 and obviously they will be taxed again next year but will not know but very similar tax deducted in the UK
