WIth US govt pension is easy enough to do, get yearly/monthly reports of pension funds sent and taxes deducted, then at end of year get a w2 stating total paid during the year and taxes paid for that period and if that is not enough, then there is my 1040 income tax form that I have to do yearly.

fyi interesting article on some local powers against this new policy too in Thai Examiner.com

I think you are dreaming there, as if that was true, then they, TH IMM would simply have started accepting those, (W-2/1099) as proof of income, instead of the 'income affidavit' that embassy is too lazy to verify by same means for our $50.  

 

Which I'm happy they stopped issuing, as would rather give $10 ish to TH bank for actually doing something than $50 to the embassy's scam.

However, the conditions, methodologies, and documents supporting the claim are still unclear.

 

Thanks Jerry.

 

Yes, some things are indeed still unclear.

The plan includes an amendment of the personal income tax return form to facilitate the foreign tax credit claim.

 

Thats the badger I was looking for.

 

What is included in the amendment will speak volumes and will dictate ( at least for some ) what avenue they will need to go down.
