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????

$20,000 apparently...so if the wife travels with me!!!!

Seems you can take an unlimited amount....so the bottle neck must be what the Thais let you bring in.

How can the Thai government insist you transfer money for an extension and then jump on it as income and tax it? Seems a tad unfair?

If I transfer my 400,000 each year for my extension and then just use a credit card for any further expenditure does that avoid tax? Is it legal? Or will the costs associated with transferring money like this be greater than the tax? I travel once or twice a year to the UK.....can I just bring in a suitcase full of cash each time? Or should I just read the tax laws...555

That could have led to Murder on the Dance Floor.

I find that very confusing.....my pensions, rentals, dividends, interest payments etc.....all go into one bank account.....who is to say what comes to Thailand came from what savings???

It can be fatal
