Social security is not taxed in Thailand

If the pension comes from the federal government or any benifits from the federal government under the DTA no

General statement: Pensions are assessable for Thai tax when remitted by a Thai tax resident. Section 40:1 Thai Revenue Code.

However certain types of pensions are excluded from taxation in Thailand via the wording in country specific DTA’s.

IRA and 401k payments ARE taxable when remitted as a Thai tax resident.

Too many variables here: 1. Are you a tax resident? 2. When did you remit the money? 3. Is the pension covered under the U.S./Thailand DTA?

Only pay tax to the USA
