UK personal allowance and tax in Thailand

[scubascuba3]

How does the UK personal allowance effect the tax payable in Thailand? I'm wondering if it's ignored when calculating the Thai tax payable.

 

So in UK that part of the income isn't taxed but would it be taxed in Thailand? ignoring DTR for now

This is what many expect, unless some sort of new announcement is forthcoming which exempts all pensions.

It hasn't come yet and I don't expect it ever will - so the devil may well be in the detail here.

 

The RD could make things a lot easier for many people or hammer them hard and do a huge amount of work to collect relatively little.

How they will proceed is anyones guess right now and nobody knows for sure

Yes this will be an issue for those with income levels under the UK personal threshold, they may pay no tax in the UK, but will end up with a tax liability in Thailand due to lower allowances, and with no tax paid in the UK theres nothing to credit against Thailand tax

 

It may be an issue with capital gains from a property sale also, IF taxed on bringing into Thailand.

In the UK there is (a now smaller than before) annual exempt amount 3000GBP, but more importantly if you have rented out your UK home to move to Thailand the UK gives PRR relief for the time you lived in the property +9 months, and if you owned the property for a long time and you are UK Non Resident > 5 years you can rebase the purchase price to April 2015, so gains are only calculated from April 2015 to sold date in the UK.
