Do UK expats in Thailand lose future UK state pension uplifts by receiving payments into a Thai bank account?

David ***********

Yes. Nothing to do with bank accounts. If it goes to your UK account still no uplift if youre not a UK resident. May be harder for them to catch you if you dont declare youre not resident but if they do, thats Tax fraud which is very serious im afraid
