So you drink for effect then. Large vodka and soda....zero carbs. PH

Why are folk suggesting low calorie when OP wants low carb? San Mig zero has zero sugar so almost certanly fewer carbs than others at 1.5g per bottle. (It is also lower in calories) as it happens) PH

How many people, how may times, have to point out to your that the State Pension is not a Government Pension? The term "Government Pension" has a clearly defined meaning. PH

Suggest you stop digging. What are you wittering about? "Counted but not taxed"? Baloney, unless you are non-tax resident, in which case all of it is liable to be taxed where you are resident. PH

When the UK Government defines the UK State Pension as NOT being a Government Pension, then it appears (to me at least) that the UK State Pension is NOT a Government Pension. PH

How does the UK tax pensions differently from all other income? PH

All UK nationals living in Thailand and paying UK taxes have been taxed without representation for years.... PH

Wrong. The UK State Pension is classed as Assessable Income for thai tax purposes. Article 19 for the DTA is inapplicable here. See https://www.gov.uk/state-pension-if-you-retire-abroad/tax-on-your-state-pension#:~:text=Overseas residents,tax on your pension once. Overseas residents You may be taxed on your State Pension by the UK and the country where you live. If you pay tax twice, you can usually claim tax relief to get all or some of it back. If the country you live in has a ‘double taxation agreement’ with the UK, you’ll only pay tax on your pension once. This may be to the UK or the country where you live, depending on that country’s tax agreement. In the specific case of the OP, it is highly unlikely he will have any Thai liability sicne his military pension is not applicable income and he will already have paid tax on his UK state pensiion. PH

Which Country are you from? Suspect UK, but hesitant to comment without confirmation as DTAs differ. PH

Isnt that a bit head in the sand? Waiting untit you see others being audited and then finding out you should have been fiing returns will be too late to file those returns and if and when it is your turn, you will be in for a nasty shock. I will be looking at the new forms once they are available and if I have to file, I will - because my assessable income is made up of non-asseable pension and pre-2014 savings, I will not have any tax to pay. Down the line, as I use up my pre-2014 savings, and once my UK State Pension kicks in (should Ilive that long) then I will have a small liability, which I will be content to pay for peace of mind if nothing else. Evasion is evasion and is illegal. Just because you might get away with it does not make it a good idea. PH

jwest Accoridng to https://www.gov.uk/tax-on-pension/tax-when-you-live-abroad#:~:text=If you live abroad but,UK tax on your pension. "...If you’re not a UK resident, you don’t usually pay UK tax on your pension. But you might have to pay tax in the country you live in..." (For the avoidance of doubt of others, this refers to the UK State Pension, not private or Government Pensions) you should not pay UK tax on your State Pension. Is that the case for you? if so, id dthis happend automatically when you informed HMRC of your residence status? PH

Yes. Whether the system can track and trace all such remittances is besides the point; as has also been said, it is a Self Assessment system where it is up to the individual to report all their income (remittances for most of us). Failure to do so is evasion which, if caught, would result in hefty punishment. PH

"Taxed at source" and "UK taxable" are two completely different things!! As i linked earlier: https://www.gov.uk/tax-uk-income-live-abroad You usually have to pay tax on your UK income even if you’re not a UK resident. Income includes things like: pension rental income savings interest wages (not State Pension though - see the link for further details) PH

Your quote is specifically about the UK State Pension which, I agree, is not taxed in the UK if you are non-tax resident. Other pensions ARE taxed in the UK. That they may not be taxed at source if you file a P85 is not the issue - there is still a tax liability. PH

Would you like to quote a reputable source for that statment? It appears to be directly at odds wth this: Your UK residence status affects whether you need to pay tax in the UK on your foreign income. Non-residents only pay tax on their UK income - they do not pay UK tax on their foreign income. Residents normally pay UK tax on all their income, whether it’s from the UK or abroad. But there are special rules for UK residents whose permanent home (‘domicile’) is abroad. From: https://www.gov.uk/tax-foreign-income/residence#:~:text=Non-residents only pay tax,'domicile') is abroad. and this: You usually have to pay tax on your UK income even if you’re not a UK resident. Income includes things like: pension rental income savings interest wages From: https://www.gov.uk/tax-uk-income-live-abroad

It isn't a withholding tax, but if you are a basic rate taxpayer, you are laible for tax on dividends at 8.75%. However, those non tax rsident in UK can have dividend (and saving interest) classed as "disregarded income" when calculating the amount of tax due to UK Government. See: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/non-residents-and-investment-income-hs300-self-assessment-helpsheet/hs300-non-residents-and-investment-income-2024#how-the-restriction-works PH

If it is a lie, we should all look forward to the outright denial by Vance, followed swiftly by the defamation suit Vance's former roommate will shortly be served with. Surprising these things haven't happened already really. PH

JD Vance is from the Left? Who knew! PH

Maybe tell Trump's running mate that....or is calling Trump an American Hitler nit the same thing? PH

So why are the Trumpers all so concerned about her getting the nomination? They should be jumping for joy but, strangely, they seem to be tearing their hair out, wailing, gnashing teeth and trying all sorts of tactics to get her barred from standing. KInda strange indeed. PH

May be of use:

He was retired from the military. But then s was Mike Flynn - but I haven;t seen you denounce him as being despicable. Should military service bar everyone for all time from any engagement in politics? If so it would certainly allow more people with bone spurs an entry to the racce. PH

And of those 25, 11 were not even present! Who is gettign desperate? (I would suggest others read the article, which actually gives a pretty balanced view and form their own opinion). PH

Whether you are tax resident in the UK or not, a UK national will always pay UK tax on UK income. If non-resident, you do not pay UK tax on foreign income. https://www.gov.uk/tax-foreign-income/residence#:~:text=Your UK residence status affects,from the UK or abroad. PH

Really? Paying THB 1K a year is going to have people going elsewhere? PH
