I'm retired in Thailand and my US accountant has asked me about any tax liability I might have in Thailand.  I assumed one would owe Thai taxes for work performed here but I don't work here so I believe I don't owe taxes.   I of course pay VAT taxes and any other normal taxes incurred from day to day living here in the Kingdom.

 

Is there any Thai tax liability on financial investments in the States or Social Security income?  I don't believe there is be but I thought I'd ask here before responding to my accountant.

 

Thanks.

In your case no, see attachment

pmartin, Thanks!  Just what I needed to provide my accountant.  

 

If you know about this issue, is there anything a US expat should worry about as far as Thailand taxes?  In my case, I think Social Security and investment income are my only concerns but I want to be careful.

 

Thanks again!
