Pension Tax Filing Report - Rejected
Try another look at the Thai-German DTA. https://www.bundesfinanzministerium.de/Content/DE/Standardartikel/Themen/Steuern/Internationales_Steuerrecht/Staatenbezogene_Informationen/Laender_A_Z/Thailand/1968-07-26-Thailand-Abkommen-DBA-Gesetz.pdf?__blob=publicationFile&v=1 You'll have to copy paste the link. Scroll down to Article 18 §2. (§1 is irrelevant for common or garden non-working pensioners like me at any rate.) My take says Deutsche RentenVersicherung (state paid, national contributory from lifetime earnings, old age) pensions are only taxable in Germany and non-taxable in Thailand. The same applies to corresponding Thai pensions which cannot be taxed in Germany. I can confirm that my DRV pension is taxed in Germany (as is my NI pension - being part of my total income there.) But that's because I haven't officially given up my tax residence there. The German tax threshold for pensions is about €1369/month gross - but pensioners still have to file a return even if they're not liable. If I gave up my German residence for tax purposes my pension wouldn't be taxed in Germany but I suspect might then become liable in Thailand. Or perhaps not - it is after all up to the Germans whether or not they tax a pension. Not taxing a pension does not in my mind automatically give the other contracting state - Thailand here - the right to levy a tax according to the Art.18, $2, DTA. It is also worth noting that if you do officially give up German residence for tax purposes they have the right, and actually warn you, that they may reduce the amount paid out to you based on where your residence is. Which is effectively a form of tax but doesn't count as such: officially it's just a reduced entitlement. But those last two paragraphs are something for the legal department to chew on. -
