Feedback from Declaring Income for Thai Tax Year 2024 at Udonthani Tax Office

[vibration]

Hello all Members I just want to inform that today I visited the Udonthani Tax Office with my tax papers for 2024 and everything went perfectly I declared my Pension Income also Inheritance money sent to Thailand last year.

 

I receive pensions from the UK and Norway and normally I get back all the tax that I have paid on my Norwegian Pensions due to Tax Agreements, the UK Pensions are below the tax free threshold.

 

To celebrate we just had a lovely meal in an MK Restaurant.

 

Good luck to all members with your Tax Returns

What do you mean you get back all the tax that you have paid?

So you pay in Norway, and again in Thailand, and then get a refund from Thailand?

No because of tax agreements berween  Norway and Thailand I get all tax paid on my pensions in Norway back.

 

My taxable income in  Norway is reduced by my taxable income in. Thailand and all in accordancw with the rax agreements between Thailand and Norway.

Ok, I understand. That's really good considering the tax rate in Norway compared to Thailand I guess? I'm looking into the conditions for the Denmark/Thailand DTA myself.

Just talked to the Danish tax authorities. Basically all pensions, both government and private, can be taxed in both countries, but as the tax percentage in Denmark is a minimum of 38%, this means that there will be no taxation from the Thai authorities as the DTA prevents double taxation. This is just as I thought it was.

Hello thats great new for you I still recommend if you have not already done so  that you contact the Thai Tax authorities and get them to confirm whether you need to fill out a Thai Tax form or not just to be on the safe side.

 

I get the Thai Tax Office to fill out my Tax Return every year and I also get a Certificate of Residence and Income Tax Paid Certificate from them (free of charge) and I use a Scandinavian Tax Law Office in Thailand to send these in to the Norwegian Tax Authirities and it functions great.

 

Best wishes

Yep - you're getting ripped off far more than citizens of other countries do.
