Will I need to pay double tax in both the UK and Thailand under a DTV Visa?

Sefton ********

Will you need to pay, no one can answer from that limited info.. Too many other factors.

You can (probably) have assessable income that needs a tax return which may or may not generate a liability depending on many variables.

@Kristoffer *********

potentially yes.. Visa does not generally change tax liability (LTR excepted), source of income time incountry and DTA does.

There is also the issue of liability v assessability, and the declarations that may be needed to ensure compliance (at this point even professionals disagree).

Sefton ********

No one can answer this.. Immigration HQ have been 100% silent on availability and requirements for extensions.

Various regional offices have made a range of comments, which are best categorised as guesses and a cultural inability to admit 'I dont know' at this point.
