@John *********

@John *********
when you say bring in to thailand, my money is aid into my uk bank. And as I cant open a thai bank account on a DTV, there is no other option

@John *********
i will check the DTA.

Its not a necessity I work. Just considering whether its worth it.

@John *********
what is pro rata in this instance John?

If im 100% out of uk…

@Greg *******
no all my payments will be to my uk bank account exactly as now.

I wont be returning to to UK. Just a couple of trips to Greece in september and italy in May.

@Greg *******
hence Im hoping to chat with someone also doing the same thing…

It might be that I have to pay the tax in thailand and then claim it back from the UK at a later date. I know there is a question on my tax form that I submit each year which asks, how many weeks per year did I work outside of the UK.

@Greg *******
maybe I didn’t write this correctly. My DTV will be processed based on a letter from my employer stating that I can work remotely.

My tax will be deducted from my salary exactly as it is now.

But I don’t want to be taxed twice otherwise I will not work and retire completely.

@John *********
thanks John. So i pay my tax as normal in the UK then tell thailand tax department that Ive already paid my tax as it is taken out of my salary automatically?

I will be in Thailand most of the year with a couple of trips back to Europe
