The consensus among community members is that Thailand generally does not tax US pensions, especially for federal government pensions and social security benefits. However, specific details such as tax residency status, the type of pension, and its treatment under the US-Thailand Double Taxation Agreement (DTA) may influence this. Individual circumstances can vary, and it's advisable to consult a tax attorney familiar with the Thai/US tax treaty for personalized advice.
oh ok it works from state government awesome wasnt sure, what i read was federal benifits people on SSI Retirement payments dont hit the threshold for thai tax requirement either
just because you pay tax in the U.S. doesnât mean you donât pay taxes in Thailand. Are you a tax resident (180+ days in Thailand during the tax year)? Is your pension a private or government pension?
