I agree you don't get to pick, but under the terms of the DTA I am an Australian Tax Resident, that's just how it falls. I can file a blank form and sign it no problem, but it's unlikely they'd want that as I'm not a Thai Tax Resident and have zero assessable income. I don't know where the "bragging" comes in! 😂
I am also a tax resident of Australia, so under the terms of the DTA, Australia becomes my sole tax residency. It's you that does not understand the DTA!
Actually you're wrong. Whether you pay tax in Thailand or not is dependent on your country's DTA with Thailand. You're obviously from the UK so I can understand your saltiness. I'd feel cheated too! 🤣🤣🤣. I won't be paying any tax in Thailand next year so I'm happy!
Actually mostly right. It all comes down to the Double Tax Agreement which exists between your country and Thailand and whether you maintain tax residency in your home country, which I do, but others may choose not to. But it's all in the DTA.
No way. It's only mugs who want to throw money at scamming Tax Agents who use these. I've no plans to get a tax ID number. I'll bet you use a visa agent too? 🤣
US, NZ, Germany and Canadian DTAs are the same. As far as I know only the UK has the f****d up DTA (probably a relic from the Thatcher years!). So I'll rephrase:- Under DTAs all pensions (except UK) are the same. Happy now? 👍👍👍
I'm sure most Aussies will have a "permanent home" in Australia. Certainly moreso than any "permanent home" in Thailand (unless someone is silly enough to buy property here!).
