Trump Administration Freezes Billions in Federal Funds at Cornell and Northwestern
The irony is so thicK you could choke on it in this forum. There are so many far-left, pro-China, anti-US/UK biased posters that it makes no sense... think about it. How can you be far-left, anti-western and pro-China? Unless of course it's like on Youtude where the CCP is paying foreign influences to be positive about China etc., which I could easily believe. Facepalm. -

Thai Tax on UK pensions
I might well be wrong but I've always understood that it was the act of HMRC ASSESSING all ones income that was important, whether or not they then actually demanded any payment. All my UK income, including that below £12,570, has been assessed for income tax and the relevant tax paid. It'll all become clear one day ........ or not. In the meantime, I won't lose any sleep over it. -

Thai tax tangle: Expats warned of new rules on overseas income
If I were a Brit, I'd certainly bank Carden's interpretation, and thus NOT consider my remitted OAP as assessable income. There's tons of wiggle room with this, as the UK-Thai DTA never addresses OAPs -- and there's not even an "other income" Article in the DTA addressing income not specific to other Articles. Thus OAP is an orphan, ripe for interpretation to your advantage. So, if you have to file a Thai tax return ('cause you have assessable income that exceeds allowances, and thus you owe taxes on it) -- do so; but don't include your OAP. And, of course, if no tax return need to be filed, 'cause OAP's non inclusion puts you below the taxable threshold -- don't file. Don't get a TIN, if you haven't already. And thus stay off the TRD radar screen. Nothing's going to happen. Less than a 1% chance, I would guess, of being called in for a chat at TRD -- unless you remit a huge amount of money to Thailand and thus raise a red flag. And if called in -- take your thumb drive with Carden's and his licensed Thai tax associate's advice on OAP assessability. Hey, always give yourself the advantage in a gray area, particularly if you have a thumb drive backing up your decision. Why some folks, like ExpatThaiTax say, yes, OAPs are assessable -- is beyond me. It really is a gray area, when the DTA is so silent about it. And, if TRD had put something out there to clarify, in Thailand's favor -- I would think Carden would have included this assessment. Or maybe not -- he's the dude that advertised to US expats that, retire in Thailand, and never have to pay taxes on your Traditional IRA again. Snake oil, anyone?
