Can I obtain a Tax Identification Number (TIN) and pay taxes with a DTV soft power visa in Thailand?

Jim ********

Why are you so keen to pay tax? I've spent my whole life trying to legally minimise tax, and now in Thailand I see so many foreigners desperate to pay tax! What am I missing?

What are the current tax implications for expats transferring savings to Thailand after January 2024?

Jim ********

@Stenbjorn ********

This is an extract from the OECD model convention on which DTAs are based, often with some modification to the wording to suit individual country's situations. Unfortunately the section on pensions has been excluded from some countries DTAs, most notably the UK, so UK pensions are taxable in Thailand

Every country has its own DTA with Thailand. All I know for sure is Australia, NZ, US, Canada and Germany pensions are only taxable in the country in which they're paid. In these cases there is zero assessable income and hence no tax return is required

Not knowing which country you're from I don't know. You need to read the DTA relevant to your country which determines if your pension remittances are assessable income in Thailand

Do I need to report to immigration every 90 days with a Non-OA visa while in Bangkok?

Jim ********

@Matthew ********

Which is why doing it by mail is the best option. Follow the instructions and it's fail-safe. I use it every time

She's in Bangkok so she can do the first report by mail - no need for the long hike out to CW

@Ian ********

The UK Double Tax Agreement with Thailand does not include the standard article on Pensions and Annuities, which means UK pensions are assessable for tax in Thailand (if transferred into Thailand). It mentions only pensions for "Government Service" - in other words only civil service pensions are exempt from taxation

@John *********

The same rule appears in many DTAs. US, Canada and NZ amongst them. I think it's only UK that has stuffed up very badly

No. As far as I know all superannuation pensions are through the employer. You can now choose which scheme to join (that's a relatively new law) and provide the details to your employer.
