Thai tax tangle: Expats warned of new rules on overseas income
This pension is covered by the DTA. For the benefit of other Aussie members, the old age pension is not covered by the DTA. Everyone's circumstance are different. Not everyone has a LTR. I am speaking in general. People MAY be redirected to a TRD office because whilst you know you receive a government service pension, and it is covered by the DTA, the TRD does not. All they see in the money remitted, not the source. If you think they do, perhaps you can post how you think they know you are on a government service pension. Good Luck with doing NOTHING about any of it. I'm sure NOTHING will come back to bite you, EVER. I use ten rental properties for example purposes. It could be shares, bank interest, superannuation, owning a business in one's home country etc. -

New Hotel Act targets 500 unlicensed Thai hotels
Drone photography of Centre Point Hotel Silom | Photo via Saad Ibrahem/Pexels By Ryan Turner The Tourism and Sports Ministry is set to propose a new Hotel Act specifically for small and medium-sized hotels, with the aim of registering over 500 unlicensed accommodations that currently cannot participate in the existing system. Tourism Vice-Minister Jakkaphon Tangsutthitham reported that more than 90,000 small and medium-sized accommodations in Thailand do not qualify as hotel businesses under the current law. The ministry has previously consulted with stakeholders from the tourism and hospitality industries, including the Department of Provincial Administration, the Tourism Council of Thailand, the Thai Hotels Association (THA), and guesthouse operators, to discuss the revision of the Hotel Act. Although the revised bill is expected to reduce certain restrictions to support small and medium-sized hotels, Jakkaphon emphasised that safety remains a top priority. Operators are encouraged to upgrade their properties to meet new standards. In the south, for instance, certain small guesthouses are unable to register due to environmental impact assessments, while northern operators face limitations imposed by city planning laws. Organisations responsible for enforcing these laws will be involved in formulating the new Hotel Act to ensure its comprehensiveness. The draft regulation, proposed by the Tourism and Sports Ministry alongside the Interior Ministry, is anticipated to be discussed in Parliament in April. Thienprasit Chaiyapatranun, the president of the THA, expressed openness to legalising more accommodations but stated that this alone does not address the primary issue. Many hostels and guesthouses are constrained not by the existing Hotel Act but by environmental and town planning laws. Thienprasit pointed out that a revised Hotel Act cannot supersede these laws, and the definition of small and medium-sized hotels remains unclear from previous discussions. He also noted that numerous construction requirements for hotels have already been relaxed to accommodate smaller establishments. For example, even old four-storey shophouses in Yaowarat can be renovated due to reductions in required space. He suggested that the government should amend ministerial regulations to solve issues on a case-by-case basis, a strategy he believes is quicker than amending the Hotel Act, which could take years, reported Bangkok Post. Regarding tourism stimulus initiatives, Jakkaphon mentioned that the co-payment scheme for domestic tourism is slated for a June launch, offering 1 million privileges. The ministry plans to announce its strategy for the Thailand Grand Tourism and Sports Year 2025 on February 3, inviting public and private sector stakeholders to participate.

Thai tax tangle: Expats warned of new rules on overseas income
The threshold to file a tax return is 120k for income from employment and 60k for income from other sources. The RD considers pension income as income from employments AFAIK. It used to be that there was no need to file a tax return, if your income minus deductions below the taxable threshold which is currently 150 but the Prayut government amended the law to require tax returns from those over the 120k/60k thresholds even though they have tax to pay. The idea is to try to trap people into the system when they not earning enough to pay tax and don't mind getting in so much and keep them in once they are earning more. They also added an inducement that will pay welfare to low income earners who file for tax but never have. I don't think this system has been at all effective. Most Thais don't realise they have to file for tax when they don't earn enough to pay it. The fine for not filing is 2k per year but not enforced on low income earners because it would a lot of work and expense to round them up and take them to court for small fines and it would create a horrible political backlash to fine poor people for not filing when the supposed benefits for filing have never been delivered to them. -

Not much sense in the average posters, but a few deliver some sense between the negativity and answers never asked for.
