The Cyclist replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
If that is what you want to believe, crack on. Take note of the words " Transparency, cooperation and taxation " Some reading and understanding might benefit you. This might help https://www.rd.go.th/fileadmin/user_upload/FATCA_File/crs/Thailand_CRS_Guidance_280823.pdf -

That is true, then they have the option of paying for Service that will cost between 10,000 and 20,000 baht, and they wont even have to worry about You will have to forgive me for batting away all these excuses, mostly from people who appear terrified that they might be on the hook for tax in Thailand. -

Yes that is an option. Not worth the expense of bouncing around SE Asia or returning to home Country for 6 months to save maybe 10,000 Baht a year in Thai tax -

Been through all this about a year ago. So your start point is OECD in conjunction with the G20. Which resulted in a thing called the CRS. Which Thailand has now signed up to and is implimenting, which resulted in the tweak that became effective from 01 Jan 2024. Do your own research. -

No, some people might need to wriggle as long as they can to avoid reporting income. Those that wish to lead a relatively stress free life, will comply with the fairly easy to understand procedures, even it means one day a year becomes a bit of a PITA. Enforcement levels and possible punishments don't really come into it. -

If all the Russians, Chinese and Indians started jumping in the Chao Phraya river wearing concrete wellies, would you follow them ? Thai internal taxation policy has nothing to do with foreigners who are tax residents of Thailand reporting income remitted from overseas. This is a requirement of CRS which Thailand has signed up to. As always, Individuals can do what they think is best for them. Some people like to live their life on the straight and narrow, even if it means a once a year PITA. -

I think that information is quite clear. Any tax resident of Thailand who remits in excess of 60k / 120k / 220k * in a tax year needs to file a tax return. As per the Revenue Code. An Assessment Officer will apply TEDA's and assess whether any tax is due. An Assessment Officer, not an individual. * Unless that income is exempt taxation in Thailand due to a DTA. -
There are about 300 different types of Government Pension. A large majority of these are ' Unfunded ' and a large majority are also ' Non-Contributory ' These pensions come fron General taxation. They are only taxable in the UK, because the UK, lets face it, needs the money. Other UK Pensions, less the State Pension, you can cease paying UK tax on it and opt to pay tax in Thailand instead. Once the dust settles in Thailand, I'll crunch the numbers on my Private Pension, but I think I would gain by having it taxed in Thaiand, rather than a straight 20% in the UK. But that is for next year at the earliest The other thing to remember is that in the early 80's when the UK - Thai DTA was signed, sealed and delivered. Very few people had Private Pensions and the State Pension was about £30 a month

Are Older Men in Thailand Trading Love for Financial Ruin

With that shirt and tie combo, that family will be a match made in heaven 😀😀😀 -
Having no income in Thailand is a red herring, and your friend doesn't get to decide his tax residency. Staying in Thailand for 180 days or more in a tax year makes him a tax resident. Whether he needs a TIN, and file tax returns, will depend on the income he remits to Thailand during any years that he is a tax resident of Thailand.

Kudos for coming back with your update. Hopefully it will be beneficial for some who are still confused over filing limits and limits where you start to pay tax. They, as I understood, are 2 very different things. On this I have no idea. I took steps in November 2023 to limit remittances in 2024 to my Government Pension. No tax, no filing, easy life" -
I dont know anything about Aussie Pensions or the Aussie - Thai DTA. I do remember asking a specific question in that thread, which was something to do with Aus Mil Pension and the OAP Pension, Something to do with if you had the Mil Pension you didn't get the OAP Pension, or something like that. Yes, I think so.

Can you send me some of whatever you are smoking ? Pretyy sure the thread is about the arrest of a suspected serial killer. Although if you wish to highlight your ignorance even further, perhaps you could take the time to explain what part of ' Immigration Policies ' apply to people who have illegally arrived in a Country ? Failing that Phone the Samaritans

UK Faces Diplomatic Tightrope Amid Potential Trade War
The Cyclist replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Don't panic. The Tottenham Turnip will ensure peace and harmony between the US and UK It is also interesting to note that the man tipped to be the next British Ambassador to the US, one Peter Mandleson, is recommending that Labour take up Nigel Farage's offer https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/peter-mandelson-keir-starmer-nigel-farage-trump-musk-b2649891.html They would do well to remember that Musk probably has access to information that would crush most of the Labour Party 😀😀😀 -
90 day report in person, what is required
The Cyclist replied to Kenny202's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
You would need to ask the Immigration Office you use. As Upnotover says, TM47 and passport at CW My Office only requires Passport, never handed in a TM47 from before the Wu-Flu struck. I might even be correct in saying that the only TM47 I handed in was when I first moved here
