Not quite if by "at source" you mean the company paying the dividend.  The company typically doesn't know anything about the investor's tax residence so can't apply different withholding tax rates.  The broker, however, does.

I havn’t heared of anyone buying stocks directly from the companies you invest in, it’s always a broker or fund manager who is the source of the funds that pay you hence ‘taxed at source’ of funds.

Its a withholding tax if you want the exact terminology.

Looks like you are talking about yourself there Oxx. Da Roadrunner has NEVER paid tax in the USA nor been asked to. Been investing on the NYSE for years.

Dividends on us stocks are taxed at source therefore you’ll never be asked to pay tax on those funds. You just don’t see the funds to begin with.

I just think that if all foreigners needed to leave fast most are on retirement visas and so I should be able to outrun them

I'd be upset if he parked that thing outside my house too!

I’m 67. Testosterone is great, and I eat a variety of fresh fruit and vegetables and take a One a Day multi-vitamine and mineral pill to be sure. 

     If you’re overweight ...the heat will hit you harder also. Lose weight, wear loose airy summer-weight wicking fabrics...keep yourself hydrated, avoid A/C and use fan only.....or else be prepared to never acclimatize to the heat. 

good for you, not everyone else is a lucky. Im addressing the OP though..

Are you aged 35 or over?

Seriously, check your vitamin d and testosterone levels..

Isn't permanent resident status a required stepping stone prior to citizenship and does PR also allow you to skip the annual visa requirements?

Good

My condolences to the family of the deceased. 

Well, I know that these financial offers are accepted in Thailand as potential means of apology/compensation but all too often that seems to go hand in hand with relinquishing responsibility.

The difference in culture between the business operator and a western family could result in the financial offer being perceived as an insult and especially if it is construed as compensation for loss of life and payment to mitigate acceptance of responsibility.

Whether the financial offer is accepted or not I think the important thing here is that safety measures are put in place and a government body oversees the health and safety so these things don't happen again in future.

Someone should be held responsible.

Can anyone help with this predicament..

I took out inpatient insurance about 5 years ago with BUPA (Now AETNA) and renewed every year.

Recently I was  informed of a medical condition that would be counted as a pre-existing condition however this wasn't pre-existing when I took out the policy.

What should I do?

Im worried that if I tell the insurer they will not renew my insurance or they will increase the price next year so that it is too high.

If I don't tell them I am concerned they wont pay out for anything in future.

Even if they are not supposed to increase the premium and they then proceed to increase it I assume there is no protection for the consumer when dealing with a Thai insurance company right? i.e. not a leg to stand on so to speak.

What should I do, what would you do?

This Dr has a few good videos on gyno and trt related issues that are probably worth watching :

 

Yes Ive seen this video and in it he says tamoxifen can reverse gyno issues to the extent it’s no longer relevant albeit not 100% but good enough to no longer matter.

Also use along with an ai like arimidex for example (or letrezole) will help.

Im wondering though in my case would starting testosterone help since I’m medically low on testosterone and is this determined to reduce fertility or are there ways around that issue, is that where hgh helps?

Wrong. That is not correct. The rules, or tests, as HMRC  call them,  that you are quoting are those used by that body to determine whether one is liable to taxation on earnings from overseas. I've been through them so many times during my career, I could almost quote them verbatim.

 

As far as state pensions are concerned, the rules are much simpler. Basically if you choose to live abroad and you choose the 'wrong' country, you will not be entitled annual increments. It's as simple as that.

 

There is one caveat. If you spend some time back in the UK, you will be entitled to the full current rate for the duration of that stay.

Interesting perspective.

If what you say is correct and the UK statuary resident tests are not used to determine residency for purpose of pension payout, then what does determine residency in this instance then. 

By by the way those ‘tests’ came into force in 2014 and were only clarified in recent years so your career can’t have been that long then? ????

No I am not.

 

The Pension Act is clear , it uses the term ' oversees resident '. It does not state Uk resident.

Oversees resident means somebody not ordinarily resident .The terminology and construction is important, Oversees Resident is the definition with ordinarily  resident as description 

 

The SRT came into force through the Finance Act which limited its scope to Taxation ( see schedule 45)

I’ll take your word for it, ???? I’m not at retirement age yet I hope I reach it since it will be 70 by the time I get there. My post was refering to determine residency status it wasn’t about the pensions act.

Presumably so long as they don't violate the 90 day rule? 

For some expats it will be maximum 90 days per visit although there are caveats. Refer to the tests to be sure, don’t get caught out ????

Correction , taxation residency tests came into being 2013, Pensions act came into being 2016 with no amendment to the legislation regarding residency.

In further evidence , expats can return to the UK temporarily and receive the uprating for the duration of their stay whilst not meeting tax residency status.

I think what you mean is expats can return to the UK for short stays without being a resident. This is true and the amount of time one may visit in one tax year without being a resident depends on the individuals circumstances. The tests will determine this for you. 

I’m not sure what correction you made to my post though, I was talking about Uk residency tests to determine status nothing more.

Don't understand a word of that. 

I take it you’re not keen on song kran either lol ????

the website and guidance documents are quite clear on what constituents UK residency. Unless your particular case is complicated in some way it is very easy to ascertain whether a person is resident or not. 

Yes, ones residency may be simple or complicated, this is true. The tests will provide the answer for everyone individually.

Now quite possibly this is where your wrongdoings in ascribing inaccurate quoting aspire from,yes indeed this is the font,or should I say non-font of your more than explicit dire warnings appear to spring forth from.  Please seek the font of truthfulness,it will benefit you

All of it... *%#*
