once you spend 180 days in Thailand you will be classed as a Thai tax resident regardless if you are a tax resident in another country or not.

The Australian DTA only applies to government pensions not private pensions.

@Owen *******

it is already firmly in place.......it is a change to the interpretation of an existing law that is why no new law has appeared in the Royal Gazette, only the changes to the existing law were added.

@Charles *******

only Australian government pensions are not taxed in Thailand, every other pension(superannuation, private pensions) are taxable.

@Andy ***********

whether you are a tax resident of Australia or not has no bearing on your tax status here in Thailand. Once you spend over a 180 days here you are considered a tax resident and your Australian pension may be taxable if you remit it.

Only Australian government pensions are not taxed in Thailand. Superannuation and private pensions are taxable here even if you are an Australian tax resident.
