UK Pensioners in Thailand Face New Scrutiny Over Pension Fraud
Is none of this correct? 1. Legal Consequences Claiming to live in the UK while residing in a different country where the pension is frozen constitutes fraud or misrepresentation. Specific legal repercussions include: • Prosecution for Fraud: • Under the Fraud Act 2006, providing false information to the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) is a criminal offense. • Penalties may include: • A criminal record. • Fines or repayment of falsely claimed pension increases. • Imprisonment (typically for severe cases of fraud). • Investigation by the DWP or HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC): • The DWP routinely monitors pension claims and may conduct investigations, especially if they suspect fraud. • Data sharing between countries under reciprocal agreements can reveal discrepancies in residency. 2. Financial Consequences If the fraud is discovered, the pensioner may face: • Repayment of Overpaid Pension: • The DWP will demand the repayment of any overpaid pension resulting from incorrect residency claims. • This can include years of back payments, leading to significant financial hardship. • Loss of Pension Rights: • The DWP may suspend or terminate pension payments entirely if fraud is proven. • No Future Increases: • If found to be residing in a “frozen” country, the pension will revert to the level it was when the person left the UK, without further increases. -

Best visa runs by air
Apparently, you intend to get a "Tourist Visa" for your return to Thailand. Given recent changes, that means you will be applying via the eVisa system while out of Thailand, and staying there until it is approved. Alternatively, you could just return visa-exempt, which which case border-bounce to Vientiane and back. There are no reports of denials-of-entry for "come to much" / "stay to long" reasons. if you have a longer-stay history in Thailand - Tourist-Visa or not - you would be wise to use one of the safe entry points like Nong-Khai, or pay an agent to "pre-clear" your arrival at either Bangkok airport. -

K bank E-mail with Tax Forms attached ?
Been through this before. KBank and every other bank require this information to comply with CRS. This is not banks being a PITA, It is not Thailand being a PITA, it is required to comply with the reporting procedures dictated by an International agreement that Thailand has signed up to. Again, you are confusing reporting limits with taxation limits once allownces and deductions are applied. If your interpretation is correct X - Y = Z, therfore no need to file, why does the RD have this https://www.rd.go.th/english/23517.html Do you see who makes an assessment of assessable income ? An assessment Officer, not an individual. If it was up to individuals, there would be no need for a dispute resolution mechanism, every filing would be spot on. -

K bank E-mail with Tax Forms attached ?
The one that I said that obtaining a TIN, wouldn't be altered when I wrote, "it won't alter your tax liability" "If the bank will accept that TIN to stop withholding -- not a given". The common established practise reports to date are that they will, including me. "But for Yanks... blah blah", but not the remaining 98.44% of the foreign expat population. There are around 40,230 American expats living in Thailand, which is about 1.56% of the country's foreign population. Please stop telling us about the tax issues of your household help, we know already nd are unlikely to ever forget, even if we try! "you really think all those rice farmers, maids, gardeners, street vendors, etc -- are going to file if they pass a threshold"? Maids gardeners and rice farmers typically don't receive overseas pension income every month in Thailand equivalent to three and four times the average national wage. -

Woke Culture Far From Dead, and Thriving in the UK, Look at the BBC
It’s odd how each person attributing the election result to a particular cause, chooses the particular issue that they spend a lot of time banging on about.
