This is being argued about discussed in another thread http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/833471-finding-a-local-tax-advisor-for-expats-in-pattaya/ where the evidence to me looks like there is no double taxation treaty on pensions between UK and Thailand unless you have what is termed a “Government pension” – which is not the same as the state pension. However I could be completely wrong……

I think you should be able to claim the personal allowance of £10,600 for this year against any tax paid.

My advice would be to contact the non resident tax centre and ask them - presuming also that you are officially non resident for tax purposes as far as HMRC are concerned?

its not a "goverment pension" - ie old gage pension - a private pension taken out with a UK insurance company....

I've tried phoning the "help line" - but permantly engaged - hence the post on here....

Anyone else got any ideas ???

Was wondering if any Brits on here who have re-claimed UK Income tax on heir pension could offer some help.....

Little info:

Age 55, lived here 6 years, on retirement visa, no income here (just live off savings), no assets in the UK.

I recently cashed in a small pension and the UK insurance co (Aviva) deducted 25% basic tax......

Knowing i was living in Thailand, the iinurance company sent me a "double taxation" form to complete and send to HMRC along with the P60's showing the tax deducted.........

So look down the form and its asking for a Thai "tax number" - well i ain't got one as i don't pay tax here - is that ok and can i put "Not applicable" on the form, or will the HRMC say no tax number - no tax refund....

Any help greatfully received.

ps: while i think about, when its time to start claiming my Government state pension - will this be paid without any deduction of tax or will it be net of the 25% basic tax and i have to re-claim it ??

Wow.

That red, white, black scheme.

papa very like!

And the number...5 5 !

Imona hafta copy that bro.

"55" is my age - sticker kit bought by my missus for my birthday (do you think she's trying to tell me something ?? lol... )......

Here's what the decal kit looks like when it arrives from the manufacturer in Bangkok.......very high quality, thick glossy plastic.....

Decals.jpg

Cost was 2,900 Baht including delivery...Totally transforms the bike.

They have about 50 diferent designs for the CRF (the L and M models are the same fitment) and you can customise them by adding names / numbers at no extra charge....

so do you have the contact details

Place in BKK made / supplied them.......

Why on earth buy in Thai company?....the beauty of condos is owning them.

he'll learn.....

coughng up 15k a year audit fees, making false declarations to the revenue that the company receives no revenue...

only a matter of time before there's a knock on the door.

And then when he tries to sell it, realising that Thai Company stuff isn't desirable unless its for nowt, he'll be in for a long wait....

....

Bloke down our way always parks in the street (Pataya Nua) just down from the bus station....

In 5 years appart from 2 cars written off and 1 stolen - he's never had a problem.....

good safe parking in my book....

Wow.

Any suggestions for a bike shop in the Pattaya area that carries after market stuff for the Honda?

Thanks

i've got a spare one (new - never used) if you're interested...

already gone....and not coming back...

i'm on my 3rd PCX...had one of the first that was made...

Can't fault it....

Prob the best all round scooter out there.

Zonkers - yer bonkers.

Went to The Old Buffalo Tavern (Buffalo Bills) for Sunday Lunch about a month ago.

Your post must be a wind up.

My Opinion:

Service, like a 5 star restaurant, really warm and friendly.

Food came on a piping hot plate (waiter warned plate hot and to be careful).

Nice portion size and food good quality.

Would definately return.

Turks over here ? - sounds like a delight.......

The risk of buying new tech

Mate of mine had similar prob with a Honda on the track. Loose bolt, oil out all over the tyre and down he went at 160kmh.

thats nothing....

Bloke down our ways got 2 loose bolts and went down at 180 kmph......

CB300F owner - UK size 9.5 ....... no problems whatsoever ..................

Maybe you ned to take the bike back to the dealers....

i've got a CB300F and the gearbox is an absolute dream and getting it into neuteral is a doddle.....

Ok, i don´t know the area to well, we wanna play Siam and Laem Chabang.

Is those two on the "right" side of town?

er.....no .....

have you any idea what its like in Pattaya during Songkran ??

I had a Japasese Akita Inu, back in the UK - your neighbour's dog wouldn't have lasted 2 seconds if he'd been agressive to him:

carry a small washing up bottle, filled with white vinegar....

if he is agressive to you - squirt the vinegar at him.....

he won't be so agressive after that and no lasting damage to the dog........

They laughed when i said i was going to be a comedian....

Well guess what - they're not laughing now....

Bloke down our way did 12 miles in a day, a couple of weeks back - absolute madness in my book..........

12 miles?

We ride 12 miles per day around Pattaya easily.

Riding round Pattaya on a scooter ? - Madness in my book.....

What you on about mate?

Don't need noise to prove anything. Had big bikes, bought 4 into ones. Noise was never a consideration. Someone put a Utube link on thread to make exhaust louder. No problem if that is what you want. Personally prefer understated exhausts, my bad.

Well this thread is about the CB 300 F.. and we are not on exhaust systems.. ok, good to go.. well, I wonder, how many times did some look back at you with your modified exhaust system and it made a different, like they did not cut you off.. or cut in front of you.

Granted, I like to hear the varoom, but I am not into the HD xtra round the heart palpations kind..

The 300 series seem fine.. the stock exhaust to me, seem to whine a bit..thus I modified my CBR 300 with the Thai version of the Akpravovic (?) system.. works fine... not ultra loud but it does the job, I don't get cut off as much.. and yes, I try to avoid the situation..

Well on the pegs.

Love the bike standard. Size of exhaust questionable. People do what people do. Fine by me. Not my choice. Only an opinion. Change exhaust? Why not. Personally more noise is not a consideration. Tis only a 300 so power increase is a shade childish as well. In the nicest possible way.

+ 1 .............

Pet hate of mine - loud exhausts - the bloke riding the bike thinks he's ultra cool - whereas everyone else thinks he's a 24 carat (DELETED)

just waiting LL2 to rock up with the old "loud pipes save lives" crock of........

i think 300F better all round.........

and what about when it's time to come and sell it ?

Honda or Keyway, sorry Benelli ?
