    UK State Pension for expats in Thailand - Paying Income Tax on the non existant yearly increases !!!

    in UK & Europe Topics and Events

    Posted

    I am in the same position as apparently many others are ie being taxed for an increase I do not get.Made a submission to HMRC thru the gateway site on 29/4/23 to this effect was given an estimated response date of 18/5/23.Still waiting for that their excuse is they are doing technical work on my submission or they are busier than normal.Hopefully this won't drag on too long..

    90 day report online no approval/receipt of notification email Jomtien.

    I did my 90 day report of address on 5/6/23 and after waiting 3 days for my approval email I decided to check the status of my application on the TM47 page only to see it had in fact been approved on the 6/6/23.Whilst I expect the email will turn up eventually my question is if it doesn't should I go to immigration in person before my due date just to confirm all is in order?I don't want a 2000 baht fine obviously.

    90 day report email reminder not received Jomtien.

    I've been 90 day reporting successfully online since August 2022 and previously always received an email reminder exactly 15 days before my due date.Until now that is..I should have been reminded yesterday 17th March for my due date 1st April and nothing has come.I have checked my spam folder.Have immigration stopped sending out reminders?It's no big problem as I will just go ahead and do it after the weekend and still have the option of doing it in person.Just wondered if anyone else has failed to get the reminder?

    I think you might be referring to the next day pick up of your approved extension.

     

    That's not how the article reads and also you are not given a queue number to pick up your pp..all that is required is the number given to you the previous day and you have always just walked straight in for pick up usually 2pm.

    As above, just leave it blank. Be aware though, that your Thai bank may block an overseas CNP (card not present) transaction. Do check with your bank first as there are many options for allowing or blocking certain types of transactions on cards.

      

     

    Thanks I will check with my Thai bank first.

    Valid from date is not an authorisation requirement for online transactions. Simply leave the box blank (or enter an earlier date). The expiry date is the required info, without which, the transaction cannot be processed. The valid from is not checked.

     

    You may well find that address verification and 3DS is required by merchants now as we've had it rammed down our throats (at great redevelopment cost) by the card industry to protect them from losses (they say it's for protection of cardholders but in reality it's to save banks losses as they always had to reimbuse card fraud). Now with 3DS (or 2FA) it makes online card fraud extremely difficult. It is up to us as merchants to set parameters and "valid from date" is not an option.

     

    I wasn't thinking so much about online transactions as the UK passport renewal form which specifically asks for the valid from date presumably one could just leave it blank or enter an earlier date as you suggest.I wonder will UK banks follow suit and drop the valid from date?
