You are correct.i forgot to add that applies to residents but not to non residents which starts at zero income.

Well, I along with many others trust that it won't be implimented in its current form.

Chuwit must be absolutely devastated.

That's a maybe but unfortunately the damage will have already been done and unlikely to be changed for a few returning expats.

Having built here, that I know from 1st hand experience.

Note to Crossy - any chance that something external is triggering the trip?

as the 183 day rule will only apply to expats - I really don't see too many polies taking notice or caring too much. Maybe everyone posting would be better off spending their time lobbying politicians as to why this shouldn't be passed into law.

I believe it is currently, but this can and is dodged around by many, including myself prior to returning to Aus. - but let's not start the discussion all over again - it's been done to death.

So sad for his family and upsetting for his classmates.

as they are usually below the tax free threshold.

depends on how much you can pay ????

Taxable pensions, payments and allowances You must include taxable Australian Government pensions, payments and allowances in your tax return. Examples include: age pension carer payment Austudy payment JobSeeker payment Youth allowance Defence Force income support allowance (DFISA) where the pension, payment or allowance to which it relates is taxable veteran payment invalidity service pension, if you are age-pension age or over disability support pension, if you are age-pension age or over income support supplement sickness allowance parenting payment (partnered) disaster recovery allowance (but not in relation to 2019–20 bushfires). So seems pensions are taxable PS - added after switching on brain - if below tax free threshold it would non taxable

I'll leave it to you as to why my post is meaningless as I certainly don't want to be classed as another insufferable poster.

no, but the fees charged by big hospitals especially for farangs do.

any reason put forward by posters is meaningless. Good reason is as I said - if your overseas for legitimate reasons - on business, in the armed forces, government appointment etc - that shouldn't be too difficult to understand - being retired and living o/s is not a reason to be classed as a resident for tax purposes as per the proposed rules coming in. I'm on record in saying I don't agree with it for people on OAP or low paid super funds - and If asked to vote on the subject I would say NO. He's not the only insufferable poster ????

Wokeness, not for me, it's either male, female or other and it make little difference to me as I treat everyone the same - provided I'm treated with due respect in return.

Don't worry too much, the poster seems to have just arrived in Thailand, that's assuming they are even here ????

Too many - but always their fault or some other party's fault (supposedly)

Would agree that it is about time, but don't think it will ever happen, fortunately, as those that should face the chop are too well protected and it will be those at the lower end of the populus who pay the price, now whether that price is worth it remains to be seen and only the Thai people can make that decision.

If the new rules pass, that's if and I don't see any reason why they won't, there will be no strategy to bye pass the 183 days. If it passes and you're out of the country for more than 183 day (without good reason ie, business travel etc.) you will be classified as a non resident and subject to the proposed tax. I cannot see what all this backward and forward snipping and aggravation is about. If it's brought in, it's in and that's it, plus even now if the tax guys are aware that your living overseas, there is current provision to tax your earnings, but as pointed out - it's a gray area and many if not all are dodging it.
