Either get a return ticket which can be amended or get a cheap ticket out of Thailand.

I found some salted caramel biscuits in Marks & Spencer at lunch today. Much better than opening another bank account.

if you're in Thailand for more than 180 days then you are only taxed in Thailand on foreign income which you remit here. If you don't bring foreign income into Thailand then it's not taxable in Thailand.

You are right that a double tax treaty can be used to either reduce tax due in Thailand or completely remove any tax due in Thailand but you'd need to remit the overseas income in order to make it taxable here.

Any income earned in Thailand would be taxable in Thailand whether you are a tax resident or not, eg employment income.

yep, I was trying to keep it as simple as possible :)

no, no, and no. Income earned is taxed in the country it is earned/paid. You can't just do what you suggested, well you can but please let me know what the relevant tax authorities conclude as you'll no doubt be paying extra penalties and interest for deliberately trying to conceal stuff.

then I suggest you get a new accountant because if your accountant is telling you that UK sourced income, eg rental income, is not taxable in the UK then he's not doing his job properly and it will be you who picks up the shit should HMRC choose to investigate your affairs.

It may be that he's using allowances and legislation to legally reduce taxable income to zero but that is very different from saying UK sourced income is not taxable in the UK. If it's this then that's fine and legal, if it's the former (paragraph above) then I suggest you find a new accountant.

not true, I am also a UK non tax resident but if I had any UK sourced income, eg rental property, then it would be taxed in the UK. It would only be deemed taxable in Thailand if I remit it into Thailand, as a Thailand tax resident.
