Depends if you keep Australian Tax Residency. In that case it's not taxable in Thailand. To say it's "untaxed" is not quite true. Super contributions are taxed at 15% when they are paid in, and the Super Fund is taxed, the taxation comes from members funds. It's just the final amount which goes to the recipient doesn't have to be declared if the recipient is over 60. Good reason to retain Australian Tax Residency. So many tax perks

@Deepak ******

Can you indicate where you show non-assessable income?

@Greg *******

I've got one which I printed off the web. The one I have has no fields for non-assessable income and no fields for quoting DTAs.

@Deepak ******

Where does it state that on the tax return form? The tax return form only has spaces for "assessable income" which the pension is not, so there's actually nowhere to put it.

@Greg *******

That's my position. Fifteen years here, the rule change (delaying remittance until a later year) doesn't affect me, as I've always transferred pension money the same time I received it. Never had to get tax ID or file a return. As many countrys' DTAs state pensions only taxable in "country of residence" - I retain Australian Tax Residency - it wouldn't be taxable anyway. So my head is very firmly in the sand and will remain there until the Thai tax office issues clear instructions circulated amongst expat communities. There's a lot of doddery old farts out there never use the internet and have no idea of these changes. I can also see a clear "amnesty" for a year or so, until everything is settled and communicated.

20k without reporting

@Graham ******

And one thing Thailand is famous for is "amnesties". No-one's going to be fined anything! 🤣

@Graham ******

Beware of this guy. He's giving out a lot of vague information in his pursuit of poor suckers who don't know any different!!

Just bring wads of cash whenever you come in. I've been doing that for the last year or so, ever since this tax thing was mentioned.

@Flemming *******

All income won't be taxed. It's dependent on each individual circumstance. A person might be a tax resident in another country which would take precedence or might only transfer pension money which may be non-taxable in Thailand. Too many variables
