Concern's about new taxes imposed on imcoming proceeds from my country THAT I HAVE ALREADY PAID TAX ON &

worked hard all my life to earn.

Hi to all, Angela here , i am a brand new group member. I am a semi retired middle aged Australian trades-woman. I am not wealthy but what little means i have i worked very very hard for. Indeed no man ever gave me a razoo cent nor did i ever ask.

Having been to Thailand 3 times over the last 15 yrs i have often considered retiring there.

Now i am not so sure 🤔. I have recently learned that the Thai Gov have audaciously proclaimed they will tax the income &/ or in my case incoming disbursements of my own hard earned money into a Thai bank account.

I have already paid tax on my own money 🤷‍♀️in Australia. There is no way i am going to abide supporting such a Yak hyde of a policy. Ned Kelly wore a helmet when he rorted ya but they intend to so so with a straight face 😮.

I would really value some honest opinions on the new tax policy for retiree's before i consider Thailand as a retirement destination, 🤔🤔 Kind regards Angela

Hi l have a question for the Aussie expats. I have recently found out that once I receive the aged pension I still have to live in Australia ( except holidays ) for 2 years before I can then live overseas and collect the aged pension. What I would like to know is if there’s any exceptions to the rule, as in Thai Wife or such. I’m 65 have a Thai Wife and house in Chum Saeng. To have to support myself for 2years without working will probably burn up half my savings. I’m amazed that no one seems to know about this. You would think the government would be happy to see the back of me.
