It would be for all tax residents. Which most expats are.. Get ready for next years tax filings.

Father has had superb treatment at nuffield for prostate and under a (very fair priced) copay for bupa.

Just to be pedantic as a rider who refuses to follow this. Thailand doesnt have a law that says bikes must ride in the slow lane, but the police, lawyers, judges and courts seem to think it is the law and apportion blame accordingly. Go through the road traffic act and code with a fine tooth comb and no such law exists. There is one line which applies equally to cars bikes and any other road user which says something like 'all vehicles should remain in the leftmost lane unless overtaking'.

Possibly.. But that clearly shows you the law exists doesnt it ?? You cannot be charged for a crime that is not a crime.

Only on a DTV (and possibly LTR tho it isnt clearly exempted in the Royal gazette publications for the LTR) it is not 'generally' legal. Also what is nonsense.. These cases have been very public knowledge to anyone who looks.

No or she would have dropped the case not needing the judges involvement. She has pushed consistently for his punishment and deportation. Considering the sheer volume of dodgy things on Phuket it seemed petty at a minimum. Only in any way news because she was a 'Dr' and enough status to push it.

So how about the teacher working online ?? Not paid in Thailand no Thai clients. Arrested, processed through the IDC and deported.

Your not reading him.. The OP falls under the work from Thailand professional category and can't get a digital work permit for that category. You can not obtain a work permit on the work from Thailand professional category, for your non Thai work. There has to be a Thai employer to obtain a work permit. Which means someone who is on the wealthy pensioner who wishes to work in Thailand, can apply for a work permit for that work which they do for a Thai entity but not for work done for a non Thai entity.

I was not aware of that rule.. However I hope the edit should make it clear why the statement works.. There is a conditional in the statement which you seem to seek to avoid.

The DTA states "Any pension paid .. in respect of services of a governmental nature rendered to that State or subdivision or local authority thereof shall be taxable only in that State." The caveat of 'in respect to' should also be clear ?

Private pensions absolutely should not be taxed at source in UK. What pensions are you claiming are UK taxable for a non resident ?

Many, even most Gov pensions (western) are assessable.. N Americans are not in that.

You can gift your wife 20 million per year.. tax free... Send it to her if she would be buying the land.

Pensions 100% not, I used to supply SIPP pensions from a previous business and the process is file a P85, obtain an NT tax code, do not get taxed at source. The only caveat for the UK is armed forces pensions and some senior civil servants which ARE always taxed at source. https://www.gov.uk/tax-on-pension/tax-when-you-live-abroad#

Local tax offices are frankly clueless.. I went to mine early in the year and they had so little understanding of the new rules, DTA's etc it was laughable.. Plus that WAS they way it was, now with the rule change, is that the way it is next year ?? I would liek them to put it in writing (I bet they resist that !!). This was recently published but still crucially does not adress the point we are both discussing. I agree with you that at this point we dont know, I tend to be suspicious enough to thing they will demand it, maybe not year 1, but over time as the noose tightens. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1l0uv2e9anPg9tgs9WzuBTQSETFQhzqJu/view?usp=drive_link
