Fish, soy, oyster sauces are the real culprits together with snacks Mama noodles and the like.

Four into two wont go.

For those who will be applying for their UK State Pension in the future?

It's certainly not S Africa Cape Town he's talking about. My brother (Brit) relocated there many years ago and what a great place to retire. That leaves 53 other countries he's talking about....take your pick.

As I've stated in other threads, my state pension is also under the D/A, so there is no need to apply for a TIN and file a tax return although it's Important to keep records from last year. Don't listed to Heineken the continuous scaremonger.

I only occasionally post in this forum. I have more interesting things to do during the day not like many posters here who spend their retirement days on a public discussion board. A wasted life. We know who they are.

Concur. In short, if the deductibles and allowances (D/A) outnumber the foreign remittances, there is no need to obtain a tax ID and file a tax return.
