That doesn't seem too hard a math problem. Private pensions remitted to Thailand are "assessable income," so the percentage of your annual deposits that are private pensions would be the percentage figure used to determine amount of remittance that is assessable. This would be very simple, if the only other deposit is SS. But, for co-mingled deposits, of both assessable and non assessable income off various sorts -- the percentage method is also doable. I doubt TRD has any guidance, if presented with this percentage method of assessable remittances. But, it seems straightforward enough to pass muster, at least with someone of intelligence at TRD. And, really, how would you otherwise deal with remittances from a bank account containing co-mingled funding...... But if my only remittances were via ATM -- I certainly wouldn't even bother considering filing a Thai tax return. Same with credit card purchases. Yes, some tax assistance firms have conjectured that TRD considers such spending in Thailand as a remittance. But I don't believe there's anything concrete about this in TRD guidance. And certainly, as someone said, you wouldn't be on anyone's radar -- so why worry about an indefinite....?
