Tax on Pensions
The Cyclist replied to rogerpattaya's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
Yes I went to my local RD office this morning, armed with everything to get a TIN and file a tax return for 2023, including my other half as interuptor. P60's annotated in Thai script by my trusty interuptor, colour coded tying them up with the deposits to my bank printout matching colour coded. All as easy as pie. Took less than 5 minutes for them to tell me I had no need to file a tax return. I didn't ask any questions on what might or might not be changing, I'll await an official announcement from the RD before going any further. What Chonburi RD Office might do I have no idea, but I would echo @DaLa and do nothing until further information is forthcoming. -
And why would this come as a great surprise to anyone ? When the USSR collapsed between 88 and 91 themeaning of the following statement was clear " The Great Bear has not gone away, it has only went to sleep " It's a crying shame that too many people did not understand it. Anyway. Nothing to do with thread, which is about New Hampshire, and no matter how hard I try, I cannot remeber a New Hampshire in Russia.

Spread the word! More Brits in Thailand can now vote in the UK
The Cyclist replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Not much to disagree with in the above, although I dont think total privatisation is the answer. -
Why are you changing the subject ? I said Never cross your mind that, people including Leaders have to do things in public that turns their stomach and goes against their every instinct ? Sometimes a public show of appeasement is better than a public show of getting the big stick out, if it helps in de-escalating a given situation. It happens in Politics the world over.

The Investing Year Ahead
The Cyclist replied to Mike Lister's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
Thank you. Apparently they are not pertinent to investing or the context of the thread. I was always mindful of the following phrase " The value of your investment can go down, as well as up " Yer pays yer money and yer take your chances. -

You didn't read about the 5.5 million ghost patients costing up to £950 million a year ? Google it -
If you mean bank branch, any branch will do. I just updated my passport number about 2 weeks ago and I havent set foot in my original branch for at least 10 years. They also printed out an annual statement for me on the spot, 200 Baht, I have seen others saying that it takes them a week, so depends on which bank.

I'm expecting Hunt to lay some land mines at the March budget for a Labour Government to deal with. You might get lucky, unfreezing the State Pension would be a cracking land mine to lay. -

Yes there is, 10 qualifying years on your National Insurance record to get any State Pension and 35 years to get the full State Pension. https://www.gov.uk/new-state-pension/how-its-calculated#:~:text=Your State Pension will be,the full new State Pension.
