There will be some married persons who also leave and re-enter the country during extensions period( using re-entry permits). Thus resetting the clock.

Keeping the topic to the OP. The pension income is UK sourced . The Thai UK DTT provides for no relief on UK tax due for this income. However article 23 provides for the UK tax paid to be used as credit against any Thai tax on the same income. There is no provisions in Article 23 to allow any Thai tax paid on UK sourced income to be used as credit against UK tax. There is provisions for Thai tax paid on Thai sourced income to be used for credit against any UK tax due.

With regards the pension income, the material point is the source of income. Having the monies paid into a Thai bank does not change this. There is no provisions for Thai tax paid on UK sourced income to offset any UK tax. The only relief available is for UK tax ( UK sourced income) to reduce any Thai tax due on the same source of income

lets clear this up Regarding your pension income , there is no means of reducing your tax liability for the HMRC ( you will pay the full amount due in regards of UK tax authorities ) As regards Article 23 of The DTT , if Thai tax authorities decided to tax you ( they may decide your pension income is not taxable) , then any tax paid to the UK tax authorities can be used as a credit against the Thai tax bill. Thus the Thai tax due can be reduced. There is no refund from the HMRC. With regards your other income I have not looked into the DTT for these so cannot comment.

He obviously does hold the shares , statements have been made to the effect that he has been unable to sell them. The question is in what capacity he holds the shares, Pita has stated that they are owned by his family, is this by a will or Thai inheritance laws. Even if Pita statement that he is only heritage manager is correct that still leaves the actual ownership vague. it could be possible that he is managing the shares on behalf of himself and his family.

For the points you raise my personal opinion is that the EC will refer the matter to the Constitutional Court. As far as I can tell neither the Organic law on elections or Constitution define the meaning of shareholder, in the context of nominee , manager in a trust or beneficial owner.

ARTICLE 98 of the 2017 Constitution. If as stated he does not own the shares how could he declare them. The fact that he previously declared them to the NACC is only relevant in the circumstances of alleged concealment. As far as I know Pita does not deny the shares only the interpretation of holding them.

The OP pension is non government thus article 19 does not apply. Because the DTT has no specific articles regarding pensions. There is no relief available for UK tax. To avoid double taxation article 23 applies and UK tax paid on income sourced in the UK can be used as credit against any Thai tax due.

The OP cannot claim the tax back from UK derived income. In the case of his pension income he would be able receive credit for the UK tax paid against any Thai tax due.

When you state UK citizen I assume British National With regards to your pension assuming it is UK derived income , it is taxable in the UK even as a non resident for UK tax purposes I am unsure on the Buy to let and investment dividends . On these would need to consult the DTT

It would depend upon the specific pension. If the pension is from a government pension then article 19 applies. Any spouse pension paid to a Thai national residing in Thailand would not be UK taxable but subject to Thai tax

Cannot just nominate a new MP for PM after the election . The nominees had to be provided by the Party prior to the Election. IF the MF leader is found to have broken the Constitution he will be disqualified and the party dissolved. What happens to the MPs I do not know. What appears to be known is that the MF leader even if as executor does own the shares and is listed as the owner. The benchmark was set during the last election and should disqualify the MF party. I suspect failure to disqualify will lead to further complaints from the present ruling class , and disqualification will lead to protests from the voters. A lose lose situation.

Here is the relevant paragraph "(1) The nationals of a Contracting State shall not be subjected in the other Contracting State to any taxation or any requirement connected therewith which is other or more burdensome than the taxation and connected requirements to which nationals of that other State in the same circumstances are or may be subjected." If a Thai national subject to UK tax did not receive the personal allowance that nationals of the UK are entitled. The Thai national UK tax would be more burdensome. In addition from the HMRC Thailand is on the following list https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/residence-domicile-and-remittance-basis/rdrm10340

What the poster is referring to , is that some pension providers will further reduce the amount of monies paid to the widow if a certain age gap exists between the husband and wife. This is to account for the potential of the payment being paid for longer.

The UK personal allowance is provided for in the DTT non discrimination clause.. The non resident should receive the same benefits as residents.

If the pension is UK derived income then it is UK taxable. Your wife will be entitled to UK tax allowance . The immediate issue would be obtaining a UK tax identifier as your wife has not worked in the UK.

Another option would be to google any error code that is displayed. To establish if windows has identified an issue.

I suspect you are missing the specific phone USB drivers.

The OP wants to reclaim tax paid in his UK pension by stating his residence is now Thailand. There is no provisions in the DTT that allows relief on UK tax for pension income sourced in the UK. In this respect it is irrelevant when the monies are remitted into Thailand. At present the OP stated he will obtain a tax id , thus is not paying Thai tax presently.

It is irrelevant because the OP is trying to avoid paying UK tax on UK sourced income . There is no provisions in the DTT that provides for this. Even if such a sceneria existed the UK tax authorities would want to see evidence from the Thai tax authorities that tax is being deducted from this source of income in order not to apply UK tax.

It is irrelevant the DTT prevents double taxation. Article 23 of the UK Thai DTT gives the opportunity to get credit for UK tax paid for any Thai tax liability. Since the pension income is derived from the UK it is UK tax paid that credit can be used for Thai tax. If the income was Thailand source then the Thai tax can be credited against any UK tax

The 2nd paragraph is referring to the different DTT agreements in place between the UK and other states. For the purposes of Thailand there is no provision for pensions with the exception of Government Pensions. Thus the UK has taxing rights on any UK derived pension .

Are these services still available on the Government Gateway site. Since the UK government retired the Government Gateway in favour of Government Verify and the HMRC is the only department that still uses government Gateway .

For the Government Gateway the credit reference does not have to be recent. However you need a uk address that can be linked to yourself. The system will go through a number of credit reference questions and responses can be negative if correct. Such as Question: How long since you opened your last current account. It will then give a number of options for you to choose such as 1 year, 2 year etc,. The final option will be More than 5 years ago. There will be approx 5 questions of this nature. I successfully registered only last week with just passport and no credit history using the option of more than x years, and using an old UK address that is no longer connected to me.

If this is considered a post election payoff then the other promises from the other parties should also be deemed so. Such as Raising the welfare card payments, giving land to people below the poverty line. The 3000 to 6000 monthly pay to Thais over the age of 60. Of course the difference is how the schemes are budgeted whilst the other party's concentrate on a specific demograph the PTT is including Thai nationals not eligible to vote.
