'certificate of residence from immigration which needed a rental contract and landlords id copy' So you had a rental contract on a 30 day visa? Or was it a longer term visa?

Jim you don't have to do anything! I was just stating my situation and asking if anyone else had had an issue with Super payments. What occurred in previous years may or may not prevail after 2025. You are aware, or course, of the Revenue notice of late 2023 that sort of changed the game a little for some folks? Thus what occurred, even last year is of no relevance to the new guidance from Revenue. What and how and if they decide to play hard ball or not is a big question currently and no doubt will become clearer over the next year or so. But anyway thanks for the response.

the problem is this Jim. Thai BOI will not accept Aussie Super payments as being a pension because a) you could take the lot out tomorrow and casino it all, and B) amounts taken from an accumulation account, to top up the pension account are variable and thus not considered pension. If you have had experience of convincing Thai revenue that these withdraws are considered pension then I'd really like to discuss further

Maybe you should retract your statement as it really is wrong as it is stated. You do not know the situation that anyone is in, so in all honesty can't make that statement. Why make these sorts of statements that others then believe cos they read it on FB. God help them

@Brown *******
great, so your initial assertion that if you pay tax in Australia you won't pay any tax in Thailand applies to you and folks in your situation, but not everyone. Okay I get it now, you were just talking about yourself. Got it. Cheers

@Brown *******
so let's get this straight. You spendore than 180 days per year in Thailand, so technically you are tax resident in Thailand (assuming your not UN or Diplomat). You're not a pension so that means you have other means of support. Let's assume you're not a toy boy and being kept by a 3rd party, then you have an income source from overseas and you pay tax on said income in an overseas jurisdiction. We good so far? And now we have a situation where your Australian tax is higher than the Thai tax assessment, thus no additional tax to pay. Still good? Great, so in your particular case the DTA means you don't pay any tax in Thailand. Okay, so do you accept that other folks in a different income level will have a tax liability in Thailand?
