I know of expats (mostly Brits) who have a full head of hair and still shave their heads. Apparently, you can't wear a Chang vest with hair.

Me, I have a full head of hair and don't wear Chang vests. Proper outcast, I am. ????

Not this time, odds on. Bookies have stopped taking bets on it.

You are not taxed on 'it' at all (it being the State Pension). You are taxed on other income which exceeds the personal allowance. Let me give a simplified example: let us say for an example the personal tax allowance is 11000 pounds. If at the age of 64 your total income is 12000 pounds then you will be taxed on the 1000 in excess of the 11000. If at the age of 65 your income from other sources is the same at 12000 and in addition you now receive 5000 pounds State Pension, then assuming allowance is the same then your net income is now 17000 and you will be taxed on 6000 pounds of your other income. Note: State Pension is not taxed at source or liable to taxation at any point in this cycle. Taxation is purely on income from other sources. With State Pension, your allowance on income from other sources obviously goes down. Talking wishy-washy words eg "effectively" is a deflection and not correct.

It's absolutely correct. You've just illustrated my point - thanks Mr. Wishy Washy.

What mercurial attitude has Thai Immigration displayed in the income method of extensions?"

As I've said befor, the IO who does my extensions is always very "mercurial" towards me, but that's probably because he fancies the pants off me.

Apart from the fact that you are likely to face delays returning to the UK that won`t even be an option of you are seriously hurt in a vehicle or any other accident or contract some fast acting debilitating virus etc Your bank will take a proper hammering, not being insured is a massive risk no matter how healthy or careful you are.

Yes, I can remember Burt producing a vlog in the same vein, some time ago, advising his subscribers to take out insurance. Pity he didn't follow his own advice, instead of relying on GoFundMe when it went tits up.

You do not pay tax on your state pension. 

Only because it's less than your personal allowance. It counts towards your gross annual income for tax purposes, therefore, if you have other sources of income, you are effectively taxed on it.

Your like a broken record, me, me, me.

Reserve that comment for Kevin Burt!

Just illustrating that I do know what I'm talking about and you and Burt are full of BS.

You accused me of not being able to read or understand. Now you know the truth. Not me, me, me, at all, just helping you to see through the BS. I'm good like that.

From today's BBC News headline page. As he said in his vlogs, potential delays if he went home, if he can afford it why not pay, why is it even an issue?

And more nonsense. As a cancer sufferer, he would be treated immediately.

No way that I could manage on 65k baht/ month. This month I tried to manage on 70k, probably won't get my money for another 5 days and just had a ruck with the wife because I'm down to my last 5k. Thinking of starting a GoFundMe.

Depends on outgoings, those who take care girlfriends etc, expensive some girls

I get an annual P60 for my works pension.

My extension is due in late December. I had planned to take my bank book, showing 12 monthly entries of 70k baht with the code FTT and a covering letter from my bank.

I will now take, additionally, the documents that I used to send to the British Embassy when applying for my income letter. i.e. My P60, a recent payslip from my company pension provider and 3 months of bank statements showing entries for my company pension.

The young man at immigration, who always deals with my extension is a very nice chap, gay, but very nice.

I am quietly confident that I will have no problems obtaining my extension.

The reason this is an issue is some people are over 50 but not drawing a pension so are transferring in cash or selling investments etc.

How would it have been possible, in the past, to obtain an embassy income letter, if you don't have a definable income in your own country?

Stop misleading people about what his options are, he does not have a house in the UK, or an address where he is registered as an occupant, with a registered GP that he visits regularly. He can't just magically produce that set of circumstances from his hospital bed. You are gaming the system ... you set things up to do so ... that is not an option for him. Anyone with half a brain would understand that by now.

 

 

 

So, he returns to the UK, rents a room and registers with a GP. Simples!

Exactly, you see him and talk behind his back, most of which I`m reading here is untrue, so who is the obnoxious prick, I suggest a good look in the mirror.

 Burt is an obnoxious prick. I have said as much to him directly. Everything that I have posted is true. I suggest that you get your head out of your fanboy backside and take a good look at him.

Yes but your playing the system, he clearly isn`t and no you wouldn`t be accommodated in hospital for all your treatment, such BS

I'm playing the system to which I've contributed to for well over 40 years and still pay tax to. I'm not allowing the system to play me, more like. Burt is playing his mug subscribers. And yes he would be accommodated in hospital. He can't be released from hospital if he hasn't got a suitable place to stay. If needed, social services would find him a bed in a care facility.

Burt is playing his subscribers.

It`s second hand, you said you live in the same community, why don`t you approach him?

I see him in bars/restaurants regularly. Comes across as an obnoxious prick. Why would I want to associate with him?

Yes he sold his graphics business and lives from the capital, not the same as a pension is it. I doubt that property is worth anymore than 50k, its a tiny one bed flat. End of the day if you watch the videos it`s all explained, he knows he has made a bad and costly mistake and despite what`s being said here he hasn`t asked for any funding. 

Don't forget the brand new Ford ranger.
