sure sale of sole residences not taxable. However if you have any income of pensions >£40 k plus state pension that is taxable.

Atm only £20k p/a can be put in Isa, most investement trusts pay more than an isa, after the first £1,000 interest p/a thats taxable too.

So leaving the UK doesnt save me a penny in tax.

I have a Canadian pe sion too which never enters the uk yet the HMRC tax that too!

@Paul *******

you still pay taxes on your UK income e even though you live in Thailand.

BTW I followed exact same route as you and have now left the UK and don't miss it at all.

@Tony *******

now you're wondering why you got involved in a conversation that you're too immature to understand.

Never mind, you can always post another cat picture.

@Tony *******

I don’t understand, why would I be interested in someone other than the signees to the agreement?

@Tony *******

Please could you show me the Thai Statutory law they states a legal document issued by the Land Office is in fact contrary to Thai Statutory law as you put it.

@David *********

you obviously seek out the wrong type of lady.

@Greg **********

but it didn’t say that! Why do you jump to assumptions?

I actually used Chavalitt and Co in Hua Hin who are one of the top lawyers and none of your doom and gloom scenarios have played out.

Please try sticking to facts not jungle drum gossip.

@Greg **********

same thing, you’re being pedantic, option to renew is effectively the same.

And severely disappointed? You haven’t said anything that changes the concept so why would I be severely disappointed?

@Tony *******

and your proof of that is?

You can get 3 x 30 year lease, or can put in wife’s name and get a usufruct agreement guaranteeing you the rights over the property until your death.

The land office will provide the usufruct.
