Thanks...that bit has slowly sunk in.....

Cheers thanks for that.....bit of a nightmare all round for the tax numpties on here like me.... ........Especially when you read post from people who seem to know what they are talking about, arguing vehemently with people who also so seem to know what they are talking about.....555

Of course the Trump way is best...... Trump's Amazing Accomplishments. • Promised to cut the deficit but added $8trillion to it. • Promised to build a wall; completed only 458 miles out of 2,000, mostly repairs. • Promised Mexico would pay for the wall; they didn't. • Promised a new healthcare plan; it never existed. • Promised a middle-class tax cut; primarily cut taxes for the rich, leaving the middle class to bear the burden. • Promised not to play golf; made 250 visits to his own golf clubs, costing taxpayers $150 million. • Promised to increase economic growth by 4%; didn't achieve it, President Biden did • Promised an infrastructure plan; had none, President Biden signed a massive one. • Promised to hire "the best people"; fired 3/4 of them, then labeled them the worst. • Promised to reduce prescription drug prices; didn't happen, President Biden did. • Promised to win the trade war with China; it cost about a quarter million jobs. • Promised corporate tax cuts would benefit workers;corporations used the money to buy back stocks instead. • Promised to revive the coal industry; more coal jobs were lost during his presidency. Loan forgiveness for the wealthy who took PPP loans to remodel their homes and go on vacation. Then came Jan 6th

Not sure to be honest. I'm just trying to get to a position where I can honestly say this money I have transferred, UK to Thailand, was pension money from a previous year so it avoids tax in Thailand. If I only have one bank account with all sorts going into it how do I prove it is money that is a over a year old coming to Thialand

Yes sorry....it was to transfer to my Thai account and to keep the record straight..... so there are no arguments about the source.

Once you turn 70 you have apply for new one to commence from your 70th birthday then reapply every three years after that.

So I need to set up my UK bank account to receive my three pensions........don't transfer anything for a year.....then claim future transfers are pension receipts from the previous year and therefore not taxable in Thailand?????

I see what you mean......but you have to wonder...... who on Earth would ever know.......... I guess it comes down to telling the truth!!!

Whoops!

So if I went back to the UK for holiday, having let my UK licence lapse......I could still hire a car say using my Thai licence??? Not sure why I think you should know the answer, but thought I would ask anyway.

Yes, Thai wife, Thai bank account.....and I have my own Thai bank account. Someone did suggest another way........just stick the 400k in my Thai account and 'forget about it'......just use that account every year for the extension based on marriage......but still keep the 'gift to the wife' idea going to cover our living expenses.

You may well be correct..... As Mayor of London, Boris Johnson instigated the closure 12 fire stations and a retirement of 18 fire engines in London as part of cost-saving measures. He took this action prior to the Grenfell disaster....oh wait......Johnson was our poundshop Trump....not a good example to raise for you.

Does anyone know what this post is about?......don't say dumb ideas.

My plan....anyone see any holes in this? Open a new bank account in the UK to receive my state pension only......use that account for my 400,00 baht each year (marriage extension).....so tax free. Any/all additional cash to be gifted to the wife's account from another UK account....government pension, company pension, rental income, investment income.......also tax free in Thailand. Do I still need to do a tax return in Thailand???

I think sellers post stock knowingly not having any in order to draw you in ............simple example......... Stilton.....500g, 200 baht....God that's cheap........sold out......Danish Blue 200g, 200 baht....okay, I'll buy that then instead.

If this thread is considered "Popular In The Pub"....an algorithm needs tweaking..

So what evidence do you have that DEI has changed the effectiveness of the Fire Departments in California?.......clue....do not answer "look at the fires in LA".

Accidentally done that myself........God knows how many times.....I'm very accident prone.

Yes. The Tory party have a lot to answer for in that respect.

Spot on.

Absolutely not....one of my real concerns, politics aside is......whatever happened to role models??? He has to be the most horrendous example you could put forward to the human race of what boys might aspire to.

Don't think so, as they confirm your record of payments at least, if not a current estimate. There was one step in the online stuff that I get to and can't get past it.......I'll have to look tomorrow, it's bugging me now.

I've tried that for my wife (Thai, 13/14 years UK NI contributions).....and ran into problems.....can't remember why though.....must try again.

Beard/designer stubble......from about 40 onwards.....one reason and one reason only.....shaving everyday was a pain the ****.

Sure that has a nice ring to it....555
