What is the tax treaty between Canada and Thailand?
This is an old thread, but given its the only thread devoted to the Canadian and Thailand Double Tax Agreement (DTA) I thought to update this a bit. What Jaggg88 noted in September-2023 was relevant. But then it was further clarified in November-2023 by Por 162. Together the common interpretation for the Por-161/162 combination is that any foreign income/saving remitted to Thailand prior to 1-January-2024 (remitted at any time in the future) is exempt tax will not be taxed by Thailand. Further tax advisors (on the internet) have noted it is to be treated as income not to be considered assessable income. That is important as it also means such income will not count toward the threshold whether a Thailand tax form need to be submitted. Further, Royal Decree-18 notes foreign income from DTAs may (dependent on the DTA) be treated as exempt income by Thailand. In the case of Canada, OAS, CPP, and likely RRIF/RRSP income would fall under that category given the wording in the Thai-Canada DTA. This means such Canadian pension related income is not taxable in Thailand as it is exempt. As an aside, the Canada-Thai DTA can be located here. https://www.rd.go.th/fileadmin/download/nation/canada_e.pdf Further to the above, non of the Thai language nor English language tax return forms have a field for deducting DTA exempt income. This suggests such income is not to be entered into a Thai tax return. Nominally not including income in a Thai tax return is for cases where the income is not to be considered assessable income. This in turn indicates the tax exempt Canadian pension (or similar remuneration) income is exempt from the calculation of Thai taxation and it is not to be treated as assessable income by Thailand. And from that one can infer that if it is not to be considered assessable income, then it does not factor into the equation for reaching the financial threshold for deciding if a Thailand tax form needs to be submitted. Recently there is a youtube video ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wEpTYIjXCqE ) which explores a bit possible taxation obligations of expatriates (focussing mainly on USA expats) but it does touch upon Canadian pensions, where the opinion of the video blogger (chatting with a tax advisor) is that Canadian pensions are not taxable in Thailand and are not to be considered as assessable income, and hence not included in a Thailand tax return, nor is a Thailand tax return required IF (that 'if' is important) this is one's only income in Thailand. Of course such pensions are taxed in Canada. In conclusion, I found it useful to have that 're-enforcement' from a video that such Canadian pensions are not taxable in Thailand and are not to be part of a Thailand tax return. . -

Are AN forums addictive?
I started looking at this forum when I was first looking into Thailand Visa issues. It was a lot of help back then and I managed to finally walk out of Jomtien Immigration with a Retirement Extension Of Stay without too much trouble. That was in 2006 and although I had the Affidavit of Income I obtained at the US Embassy, the Immigration officer at Jomtien also wanted a "bank letter." So I had to leave and go do that. Other than that, it went smoothly. More recently, I just pay an agent and save myself the trouble, As for whether the forum is "addictive"? Not particularly. Social media in general can be somewhat addictive, though. I guess I post here just because I come here to look at the local news and I'm already here and I have yet to be banned. I think one of my posts got deleted once by a moderator because I didn't support my post with a link to a "acceptable" source, as if that would guarantee some. sort of truth. Anyway, that's OK. A month or so later it all turned out exactly as I said it would. I make some effort not to post nonsense, but whatever. A few years ago, I got in the habit of posting on Reddit, but that place seems to be run by a bunch of left wing psychopaths who can't handle the truth. The forum moderators only seemed to like people who agreed with the party line 100%. I found myself banned from about 80% of the forums after a few posts. It was almost fun. How quickly can I get myself banned? I finally. just deleted my account. Let the people blab away in their left wing echo chamber. -
