So you just don't tell the DR you even exist? ......and immigration won't tell them because have their own rules?

<link to Bangkok Post removed per forum rules - sorry>

I think he had suspicions they were cheating him.......but not sure of the details.....think it was Chaiyaphum???

Wouldn't surprise me if you are correct....Land Of Scams. I see there is a big fuss about fuel pumps at the moment......some guy checked to find he'd been short changed by 5 litres.

......maybe they could each clutch their chest, spend sometime in luxury hospital suite and then serve their sentence at home?

555......exactly....555

I think the tricky bit here is that you still have to, if you are being honest, report the cash brought in to the Thai tax authorities......you might not have to declare it at customs, true......

But it says we can use the tax paid in the UK on UK income as a credit against any tax liabilities in Thailand???

I find dressing in this manner is a rather sad attempt at trying to convey to people that you have a personality....... James Cleverly is a good example with his bright red socks and dark suit.

From the UK-Thailand Double Taxation Convention 1981............. In the case of Thailand, United Kingdom tax payable in accordance with this Convention in respect of income from sources within the United Kingdom shall be allowed as a credit against Thai tax payable in respect of that income. The credit shall not, however, exceed that part of the Thai tax, as computed before the credit is given, which is appropriate to such item of income. So if the tax we pay in the UK on our income is greater than the tax we would/might have to pay in Thailand on that income.......we pay no tax in Thailand......and if it is lower we just pay the difference? Is that how it works?

OMG seriously.....pull your socks up?......You'll look like a mental patient or a middle aged (insert nationality).

DIY....correcting all the faults in our 'new' house.......****ing Thai workmanship.

Switched to airpods last night....b****y sugarcane lorries with modified exhausts......

I can see that happening........it seems an obvious and easy avenue for them to pursue us and try to claim tax.

But they haven't been in Thailand for 179 (?) days since the changes were announced this Jan.......so isn't June/July going to be the first deadline?

Whoops...sorry shouldn't have said that

Bring Thai baht?

Wow....thanks for that

That's being dishonest.......

Does anyone know how we confirm if our pension is or is not assessable income in Thailand? Do we all have to go to the DR and just ask?

....and yet you don't need to tell a soul you've brought the cash into Thailand unless it's over $15,000.......so you are saying you have to be honest!!!!!

I thought tax avoidance was perfectly legal........speaking as someone who sadly doesn't understand these things.

So $60,000 a year tax free?

Story of my life

So problem sorted two trips a year with SWMBO we can bring in $80,000.....laughing.....seems too easy????
