Good question. I dunno mate. Maybe it would mean your income is also under the Thai tax threshold? I saw that in one of the links I posted so it is published
That's my belief, Jim. We won't pay more tax, at least not on our pensions that are taxed at source, as mine are in the UK. But we will have a duty to make declarations and claim the existing source deductions.
It's not a new law. It's a new interpretation. Instructions from the top to guide local tax inspectors. The click is ticking, in that foreign residents are now required to fill out income declarations, minus deductibles and allowances. So calendar year 2024 will be assessed in 2025 and tax bills will be issued to those who should pay. There are penalties for not submitting the form.
