Recently sold house in UK

[kevtheblue]

I sold my house december 24, I will be moving to Thailand july 9th. Not sure  if property had to be sold before start of 2024 or end of 2024 to avoid tax payments.

Tax payments to whom?

How old are you ??   

Where have you picked to move to ?   

Are you married to Thai ? 

....are you going to bring all your money across or wait for a better rate time?

Not nosey.......we just need the full details if advice is required.

 

 

I still think my advice will be  ........it is obviously too late for the current tax filing and .... only bring in to Thailand what you need - then do nothing as far as the Thai tax authorities are concerned (unless you are already filing tax returns.

My suggestion.

If you intend to bring a large sum of money into Thailand this year, just make sure that you are not a tax resident this year by spending less than 180 days in the Kingdom during 2025.

Something to think about, an option, if you need a place to put your funds. 

 

One option, and surely there are more ...

Some would suggest bring in via ATM, when needed, not to avoid taxes, as not allowed to suggest, but just for convenience sake.   Which I used to do with my company pension.

 

In which case, try to find no fee account, that reimburse any 'in country' bank transaction fees.

You say you will be moving so presumably not Thai tax resident in 2024?

As long as not and staying out of Thailand for more than 180 days in 2025 (so no visits in 2025 until you move July 9th would just qualify) you can bring in what you want in 2025 and not be liable for tax in Thailand (under current rules).

 

Potential liability to home country taxes is a different subject.

Be careful moving funds to Thailand. The new and confusing tax rules could easily trip you up. Make sure you get solid professional advice before doing anything.
