How does the US-Thailand Tax Treaty affect taxation of social security income for expats living in Thailand?

some one interpret as below:

those people

from countries which have

a double tax agreement

with Thailand could still need to pay new

tax in Thailand,

double tax means that you

will receive tax credit for

taxes paid outside of

Thailand. So, if you are

assed as having to pay

usd200 in USA and usd300

in Thailand, In Thailand you

would pay 300-200=100

dollars in Thailand.

anyway the risk is that one still likely to fill a tax report form with income and asset and let authority decide which is taxable and which be exempt. Filling the form could be a tedious process, depending on how it is designed, and whether there is english translation, or chinese? if not, hopefully no.need to seek professional help. And how can one prove whether the remitted income already taxed in other jurisdiction?(for example you have multiple income sources, and some sources already taxed but some exempted due to different tax law in another country )

does double tax exemption imply blanket tax exemption without need for exemption on an item by item basis (income source item/category) or need comparison of individual category, eg investment income, rental collected or simply pensions

But under thai law ...over 180 days you are considered a resident, for tax purposes

Thanks for posting. Good news!
