Are expats on a retirement visa required to pay taxes in Thailand?

@Roberto ******

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? 🤣

Sadly, unlike most other countries with a DTA, the UK version is very poor so I'd say yes you'll be assessed for tax on your pension

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!).

That's if you're solely a tax resident of Thailand. However, for dual tax residents you can use the formula in the DTA to ensure tax residency (and tax laws) remains with the country paying the pension, which means it is not taxable in Thailand

And what does that tell you? Hey, I can help you. Go and see one of your buddies at this place and hand over 3500 baht. They'll get you the number that you so desperately crave! 😂😂😂

I'm not misleading anyone. Each individual should check their own DTA. Can you not read this? Which part of "taxable only in that state" can't you understand?

There's a dozen "tax experts" touting for business in these groups who are misleading people. Perhaps you should start telling them to pull back on their misleading advice?
