FWIW

From my memory approx 6 yrs ago, the Libs through the then Social Minster, the one who  adores behind,s????????????attempted to make changes to our Portable

Pension,s but was BLOCKED in the Senate by LABOUR full stop.

And status quao remains, to this point of time, IMO,with Labour  in power,  the runs are on the board, that no change is immediately forth coming and  from my observation, have seen no valid Govt,  link to immediate change

????????????

Oh come on, that is just foolishness.  There are a lot of other behavioral norms that must be met to gain the right to sit in a bar.  Just buying a drink does not qualify.  

And may i asked, what are the Behavioral Norms, to gain the right to sit in a bar.

Doe,s anyone know, when i will, Kick the Bucket.???

In my case , i shall  cross my Bridge,s as i come to them, instead of  reading your scare mongering opinions,  {without any valid proof, what,s so ever )that Aussie Portable Old Pension,s may change in the near future.????????????

Would presume that BB would notify you of whatever changes are in store.  My guess is your pension is not paid directly into KSK branch but into some central receiving account or bank in Bangkok.  You could stop by and ask the KSK branch but I'd guess they would not know as yet exactly what will happen....but it'll get sorted out in the next week or two.

Mny Thks, CMBob, your reply is greatly appreciated,❤❤❤

Apon checking my Australian Old Age Pension, is Transferred  from Centrelink direct to Bangkok Bank KSK branch

as i reside 30 K,s from KSK, will wait to see how it pans out

Who knows, maybe they will do like the British system in the link I posted from another thread and just stop CPI increases to those outside of Australia for 183 days.  It's not kind, but kinder than a 32.5% hit.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now  again,  without any evidence, u are bringing CPI Increase,s into your Scare Mongreling  campaign.

Sadly u r in La La land????

There's a difference between tax avoidance and tax minimization.  Most on this forum would be "clean skins."  It's not about absconding from debt to the ATO. 

 

It's also not about avoiding tax, it's bout minimizing tax, as seen in the Kerry Packer clip I posted. Minimizing tax is not a crime.  The ATO is just another bill to pay.  No one here is talking about fraud. 

 

Minimizing tax is a hell of a lot more difficult to do when you want to be an Australian resident for taxation purposes, but don't live in Australia. 

 

If the 183 day law comes in, it's impossible to request a review or appeal of your non resident tax bill because immigration records show Australian citizens as being outside of Australia, and for how long.  They have you on toast.  As a pensioner, IN MY OPINION, if pensions  are not exempt, your pension MAY simply decrease by 32.5%.  

 

Yes, should the unthinkable happen and the 183 day law comes in, and is strictly enforced, with no exemptions, you, me, and the vast majority of retired expats will be knocked for 6. 

 

Members were posting like the government gives a sh*t, or pensioners back home would be outraged and it would be in the papers and there would be riots and they would be burning the Australian flag in the streets.  ???? 

 

The reality is, not the government, nor pensioners back home, and certainly not the tax payers, give a rat's a** if this comes in, and pensions are taxes as well.  

 

Due to the geographical location we chose to live in, we are at the mercy of these new changes, and how they will be implemented, and it costs the government no votes, and nets them billions of dollars. 

 

I posted the changes as a head up.  Do with the information as you please. 

I  have,nt even got one tin buried, so i heavily rely on my  expats pension to live here, ETC  ETC, therefore   my pension,  what ever forthcoming changes should occur should remain status quao, BTW i have been a non resident for yrs and yrs

And have been through the ropes with Centre Link perhaps 15 yrs or more ago, to retain my overseas pension,and touch wood  so far so good, and BTW only last month , my Medicare was given to me for another 5 yrs, again Touch Wood

If I posted a link, you wouldn't believe what's in the link anyway. 

 

It's all "p*ss and wind. Bubbles and froth.  Bubbles and squeak. Farts and froth."  Right up until the part where it become law in Australia.  ????

As i have posted perhaps a week ago, i,am a Clean Skin, my house is in order ( so to speak), i have paid all my dues to date ,therefore IF 

any changes occurr  to my present Expat overseas pension  i certainly will be knocked for a Six, in my case (JMO) Status Quao will remain

YOU have posted links on this topic several times????why B/S 

23 minutes ago, KhunHeineken said:

I simply posted a link to the residency tax law changes and suggested it may impact all expats because the 183 day rule seems black and white.  

 

Replies, such as yours were, "I'm on a pension.  It won't effect me."

 

I suggested it may effect pensions, and because of that suggestion, I have been personally attacked.  Note I used the word "may."  I never used the word "will."  To date, no information has been posted to show pensions to expats WILL BE exempt.  

 

Same question to you.  Read the links posted by myself, and others, and if you don't call that broke, what do you call broke?  

 

 

 

  

Firstly your links ,are not Official Govt releases, all P#ss and Wind,  my reliable sourse,s, say  my epat old age pension, is presently not being effected by any forthcoming change,and not likely to be, despite your Marlarky post,s claiming it will be

Perhap,s Oz maybe in debt, but not BROKE, as u again wrongly post ,and can trade their way out of the current  debt in due course????

This particlar member started only a couple weeks ago  that expat pensions paid

Would be taxable Etc Etc

Now he states that Oz is Broke

Whats next????

That is their personal business, not mine????

As for your proposed changes coming in, absoulately no mention  anywhere, apart from your posts

Agree, realistic comment, well said:

 

- '...bigger fish to fry' TRUE!

 

- If they did start an activity to monitor pensions that would probably mean large numbers of pensioners, also creating much upset, and the gov't would be severly criticized. So politically a strong negative. Also keeping mind that the additional tax revenue would not be that big (I suspect) therefore not worth causing angst and negative.   

What caught my eye during my own research ,most major  changes to our portable pension,s Etc Etc over the last  20  yrs approx,

it only applied to new Applicant,s , rest were left alone,  Or grand fathered in,so to speak.

And from memory, the last major  change  was 2014.

So all rest easy ????????????the odd,s are in our favour

I'd suggest if - and it's a big IF - the s##t does hit the fan, many pensioners will be minimizing what the government can get its hands on. I know I will be.

As Kerry Packer once famously said, anyone who doesn't minimize their tax needs their head read, because you guys don't spend it so well we should just give it to you.

From my up to date , homework ,  on any change to  Our portable oversea,s pension being changed as being discussed on this thread, particular by one misinformed member, is all B/S , it remains Status Quo

to this point of time, according to reliable sources , so to all,  relax  until any Govt announcement is forthcoming, which IMO 

is  not in the immediate future or not at all, i expect the latter, and if i,am mistaken,  we will be Grandfathered in????
