In March 2025, doing the 2024 online tax return, I successfully claimed the 190k over 65 allowance and will do so this month in my 2025 tax return.

I did the same in March 2025 but the online eFiling system has changed since then and now I am not able to claim the 190K over 65 allowance using the online eFiling. As it stands, the online system is "broken" and you can only claim the 190K if you select that your income is earned only in Thailand. i.e. Not from foreign remittances. See also, earlier posts from @MartinL and some of my later posts.

Interesting! I was able to claim this allowance OK without having to do anything unusual as far as I can recall when filing my 2025 return online a couple of months ago. Unfortunately the TRD "geniuses" responsible for designing the eFiling system have not thusfar seen fit to follow the example of their HMRC pals back in the UK by providing auto-generated lists showing how various key fields in online returns are completed prior to submission.

Given Thai government election, I think many of speculate that any of RD new rules were put on hold until after the election.

In any event, even if the present lot in government were minded to make any changes to existing tax rules, it strikes me as highly unlikely that they would come into force before the start of the next tax year on 1 Jan 2027, meaning that we wouldn't, in practice, need to start worrying about them in completing tax returns for a couple of years from now.

Things have not changed much since day #1 of the tax announcement, train wreck of a mess...

Plus, our fearless leader, Mike Lister has abandoned us long ago...

Well on the bright side the fear-mongering tax helper self-serving tax accountant vermin have been raked over the coals so many times and been reminded what low-lifes they are so often that they have mostly given up on posting here...

Give the man a break, he's probably busy preparing his tax return.
