Popular Post treetops Posted January 10 Popular Post Share Posted January 10 Just what we need. Another thread with armchair interpretation of the new rules for others to argue about. You've done well though - yours is one of the worst understandings to be posted so far. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The real reply is that until the final revenue department says the final version, most of us can just make our opinion known and in many cases just continue to confuse folks. Some of the DTA are really in ambiguous terms - a way for politicians and lawyers to be able to interpret meanings of same to be different. The US DTA says government social security is exempt Article 20 and US government pension exempt Article 21 unless the receipient is a Thai citizen and resident in Thailand. Seems to be very clear but TIT. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
