How can I avoid tax on my pension transferred to Thailand?

Let's say you have your life savings and you are getting pension money.

How to tell the money you brought in is from your savings or from the pension you got on your home country account ?

Ask some random guys on facebook about existential issues…ffs go to a tax lawyer..an accountant. There is way more to it..and your info above is wrong

watch this :

Simple answer to the OP is to use money in bank method rather than transfer money over every month ,if he’s worried about tax I should add

check out this first. All incomes that earned before 2024 and brought it into Thailand. this is non taxable in Thailand. But, incomes that earned after 2024 and brought it into Thailand is taxable in Thailand. For example, if you have savings, 1 millions USD for your retirement, and prove it with your bank statements that showed that you already have money 2015, or 2016,18 like that, before 2024, then you brought parts of that into Thailand to live on in Thailand, so this is to be considered as non taxable in Thailand. But if you get pension every month, and bring it to Thailand since 2024, the money is taxable in Thailand. but check the double taxation agreement between your country and Thailand.

I think this referred to 2024 only

Not anymore... That loop hole has been closed as of 2024..

You were misinformed about delaying by a year, that option disappeared in 2024. So send it whenever you want and then work out whether you are due tax or not taking into account only the income you either transfer to Thailand or withdraw from ATMs or whatever. Most UK pensions count as assessable income from a Thai tax perspective, only those received as a result of civil service or some local authority work are not assessable. That doesn't necessarily mean you pay Thai tax, but you would need to file a Thai tax return

If your gov or private pensions you pay uk tax you dont pay thai tax. I have personally been to tax office phuket, there's 2 offices on phuket, 3 times and all times they said dont waste our time filling anything out. If one day you are asked to go see them then you have to show you pay uk tax so keep that up to date. Please follow integrity legal on youtube. His american and a fully paid up thai national.
