Centrelink determines the tax residency of pensioners, not the ATO.

Completely false.

Once one has worked in the system for 35 years, that's it.

Completely false.

The ATO cannot have it both ways.

Completely false.

They can, and will, after the proposed changes have passed into legislation.

The DTA with Thailand is quite specific, if the ATO decides I am a foreign resident, I have to be taxed in Thailand, not Australia.

Wrong.

Being taxed in Thailand will happen when Thai Immigration liaises with the TRD, which is sometime in the next aeon.

The TRD will give you a tax credit because you would have been taxed in Australia.

Google any AI- Gemini, Claude, or Grok, and they will tell the same story. You have been banging the tired old drum of "proposed tax residency changes" for years, without realizing your posts are as irrelevant as you are.

So, is the girl in the youtube video wrong?

Are the people in all the other youtube video on the subject all wrong?

Go on the record.

Here's AI.

AI Overview

Yes, the Australian Age Pension remains a taxable income regardless of where you live. Your tax obligations depend strictly on your tax residency status, which may change when you move: [1, 2, 3, 4]

  • If you remain an Australian tax resident: You are taxed on your worldwide income. You will need to lodge an Australian tax return, though you may still have access to a modified tax-free threshold and the Seniors and Pensioners Tax Offset (SAPTO) to lower or eliminate your tax. [1, 2, 3]

  • If you become a non-resident for tax purposes: You will not receive the tax-free threshold and will pay tax on every dollar of Australian-sourced income (including your pension) from the first dollar. [1]

The information in your post is misleading and incorrect.

You refuse to acknowledge even links to government website, let alone youtube videos from industry professionals.

You live in denial.

"What is asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence" Hitchin's razor.

You have been asserting pensions are taxable by the ATO in Thailand for 5 years, wthout evidence.

You have been predicting tax residency changes for about the same time. The last budget must have been very disappointing for you.

I refuse to engage any further with you, it's a waste of my time.

More deflection from you.

Put up or shut up.

Geez, you even asked me to look at AI and it confirms my information. I even posted it for you.

Ignorance is bliss.

You are embarrassing yourself now.
