The Cyclist

I've never returned anything, and by the same token, never had a need to complain. What is the point of anything ? Comes down to personal preference, nothing more, nothing less.

Is that the best you can muster ? Weak, feeble and embarrassing.

Yep, that is a face that says " Where do I get me some of that stuff " 😀😀

Really ? What does this say, taken from the post by @Guavaman on the previous page Try getting your head around that concept. Non - Assessable is not a concept within the Thai Tax Code. Exempt, for the purpose of tax calculation is a concept within the Thai Tax Code. Likewise, so is the concept of Tax credits. So take your ' Duh ' and poke it.

My money is on frequent visits to a mental health establishment, from now until the next trial 😉😉

Deflection ? Eh, the topic is about the Southport attack and changing the Laws around terrorism, is it not ? Therefore, on behalf of all the sleeper terrorists and would be Jihadi's flocking undeterred across the Channel. I would just like to take this opportunity to thank Starmer, and the band of useful idiots, spouting hot air about changing laws, and not taking direct action to impede our travel across the Channel. Not much point in changing terrorism Laws, when sleeper terrorist and would be jihadi's are still coming across the Channel. Or are you one of those that mentalists that think that they are all Law abiding, genuine asylum seekers ?

Starmer stating, means Jack Changing Laws means jack When you have 40,000 fighting age males flocking across the Channel, who could not care less what Starmer states, or what Laws he puts in place. So until Starmer puts a plan in action to halt the Channel hoppers, he is doing nothing more than adding to Climate Change by spouting hot air. How is that you cannot understand that simple fact of life ?

What I support, or do not support regarding changing the Laws around terrorism mean nothing, when 40,000, mostly fighting age males are flocking across the Channel on an annual basis. Terrorists do not care what the Law says. So when Laws and actions are put in place to stop the boats bringing around 40,000 fighting age males across the Channel, I might start believing that something more than soundbites is happening. Until then, it is nothing more than hot air adding to Climate Change.

Hilarious The video is all over the internet, his words and action are crystal clear. There is nothing that anyone can say that would prejudice the proceedings.

Your valued input is appreciated.............. By somebody, somewhere, I just don't know who or where. I was merely pointing out that changing the laws or the definition of the Law, means the square root of nothing, when you have around 40,000, mostly fighting age males, of unknown backgrounds, flocking across the Channel. If you want to stamp out complacency, stopping that is your starter for 10. But that would be far beyond your level of intellect.

Better start making magic wands. Unemployment ticked up yesterday to 4.4%, and will continue to rise if Reeves does not reverse her budget raise of Employer NI contributions and reducing the NI threshold by nearly 50%.

According to Starmer Really ? How many years have lone wolf, mental health, stabby stabby, vehicle borne killers been wreaking havoc across mainland Europe ? Nothing new whatsoever. And while your assessment is probably close to the mark, in terms of monitoring, manpower and resources. It is meaningless whilst about 40,000 per annum are flocking across the Channel. And lets not forget the army of Human Rights Parasites that will go above and beyond the call of duty, to prevent anything that is ' Proactive '

I'm an old fashioned cash is king guy. I'll die an old fashioned cash is king guy.

I used the cash on delivery method for about a decade, lost the ability to pay cash on delivery about 2 months ago. Bye Bye Lazada.

Cash in bank or existing savings. Not it doesn't, It says Pensions are potentially taxable, depending on how much you bring. This is 1 of the occasions that I said that exempt income was given a stiff ignoring. It does not address Government Pension, US SS or any others that people are claiming are exempt and therefore not assessable. Try again, after reading @Guavaman excellent summary on the previous page Any reasonable person would read that as all income is assessable, However some incomes are exempt / excluded from the actual tax calculation. For the majority of the posters on this thread, that would be all the sources of income ( Government Pensions, US SS, etc ) that are only taxable in the home Country Other incomes outside of the above, would be subject to a Tax Credit arrangement to ensure that double Taxation did not occur.

Here is Expatthaitax, an RD Official and a Professor of some description Some people better have a watch and listen, and stop posting crap Especially people like @NoDisplayName listen carefully towhat it says about Section 40 - Assessable income Part 1 - Pensions How you prove it is not taxable. 3 times I counted Carl trying to get an answer on exempt income under DTA's and was given a stiff ignoring. The message appears clear, unless you remit income below the filing thresholds, which are 60k / 120k / 220 k Baht, depending on income or single / joint filing. File and prove how your income is not taxable ( DTA ) or the tax Credit method. Be sure to watch from the 45 minute mark 😀😀 That will give some the shivers.

There was nothing ambiguous about ' 15 / 16 years ago, when I first came here , I was told '

That is why I am not worried, and even presented myself at an RD Office to speak with them and ask questions.

Because the period I was talking about, from around 2009 through to 2020, I was never a tax resident. From 2021, I have been a tax resident ( Over 180 days ) Jeepers creepers, did you think you had tripped me up or something ?

Thats how it was described to me. Whether it was right or wrong, I have no idea. Looking into taxation over the last 18 months or so, I was never a tax resident ( 180 days ) anyway. I still think it was a case of who gives a monkeys, but that is changing.

I would suggest that anyone who has a Thai bank account is already on the RD's radar

Sure, I get that But you can calculate the tax paid in the UK from the statement of future payments Jan - Dec, if you overlap the statements

Yes, the reason I kicked my Private Pension back to the UK in December 2023 and only remitted my Government Pension in 2024. I don't need to pay someone to tell me that Pension is only taxable in the UK 😀😀 I am still working on the theory that a Pension is a Pension and is classed as assessable income as per Section 40, Part 1 of the Revenue Code. File and then invoke DTA, whether that be only taxable in UK, or subject to Tax Credit. Otherwise every Brit with a Pension would just cry Government Pension. Every Canadian would cry, my income is a pension Every American would cry SS or Government Pension And I dont think that is going to cut the mustard.

At this point in time it is still a cluster. I'll repeat what I said above " When I came here 15 / 16 years ago, I was told that as long as you are not working and earning, nobody gives a monkeys Tax wise. I suspect that the " Experts " are in the same boat experience wise. How many have filled a tax on behalf of a retiree expat in the last 15 / 16 years. Obviously people who were/ are employed within Thailand are a different kettle fish.

Some of us are working on the theory that a pension is a pension and is Assessable income in Thailand as per Section 40, Part 1 of the Revenue code. It is then not taxable in Thailand due to a DTA.
