@Jan *****************
plan would be to use some of that £30k and leave the 800k in thai bank and forget about it . That would leave me £12k for the 1st year to settle . Don't touch the money at home until closer to OAP age .

the law has been in place since January , but I don't know anyone that's been hit with it yet . Its people who have been putting there cash offshore in a tax free place who are worried . If they bring it into Thailand from where it is they could get hot with the 35% tax . If they bring it into the UK first before sending it they will get hit with a tax bill here .

@Rene *******
no doesn't matter what the thai tax rate is . If you have paid tax in a country that has an agreement with Thailand then no tax is due , as long as you can prove your money has been taxed .

By the way the law for this has been in place since January and I've not heard it being used yet .

As long as the money coming in has been taxed, in a country Thailand has an agreement with , then no worries .
