@Todd ********

I was replying to your comment where you said "actually you still will be taxed here. But your taxes paid in other nation will count as a credit. If you owe more here… you pay" which was incorrect. But yes as you just replied now it depends on the DTA among other things.

By the way it looks like you're pretty upset about about the land down under, sounds like an Aussie bloke must've shagged your wife or something 🤣 what's got your knickers in a knot?

Peter Rowe/Power is the man to listen to mate, definitely don't go by

advice as he posts some strange stuff.

@Todd ********

that's wrong and a pretty wild statement to make, without even considering the exempt income remittances which requires no filing obligations or tax to pay there is also, Article 4 paragraph 3 in the Aus-Thai DTA which states;

"3. Where by reason of the preceding provisions, an individual is a

resident of both Contracting States, the status of the person shall be determined in accordance with the following rules, applied in the order in which they are set out.

(a) the person shall be deemed to be & resident solely of the

Contracting State in ₩hich a permanent home is available to the person;

(b) if a permanent home is available to the person in both Contracting states

or in neither of them, the person shall

be deemed to be a resident solely of the Contracting State in ₩hich the person has an habitual abode;

(c) if the person has a habitual abode in both Contracting States, or in neither of them, the person shall be deemed to be a resident solely of the Contracting state with which the

person's personal and economic relations are the closer."

you may want to read Article 4 in the DTA to see why Jim is correct.

Do up a Will. You could also leave some cash stored with the Will or with a letter you've left for your loved one's that will tide them over until they can access the bank accounts etc.

Go to the Doctor and explain what's going on, they're humans not robots, they will advise you what's your best step moving forward.

Hire a decent car, hardly feel any bumps in a nice car, especially if you drive yourself.

Pay an agent to do your extension, plenty in Ao-Nang/surrounds.

@Joe *******

the comment from Olivier, is pretty well spot on mate

There's no 60days time limit to legitimise your child.

It's very easy and very quick to complete the process, I used a lawyer but if you speak fluent Thai you could probably do it yourself.

I wouldn't stress mate. Even the tax professionals...have no idea and they even have different opinions amongst themselves of how things will play out, so I'd just sit back and wait for the dust to settle. Many of the fear mongers always commenting have probably already obtained TINs or been turned away so I wouldn't listen to 99% of them as everyone's circumstances are not exactly the same. The funds you're bringing in may not even be considered assessable. If you're here for over 6months do you need to lodge a return if your source of funds are from savings prior to 2023? or if you say sent less than ฿100k for the entire year? Or you're living on money you sent to Thailand years ago, Or your funds come from a pension that is only allowed to be taxed by your home country? Or or or or...

Maybe enter on the UK passports for a holiday
