That could well be the case, non-resident at point of remittance. But I am stuck at my primary planning rule that anything income or derived (2024 onwards) whilst Thai tax resident is potentially tagged as Thai assessable, whenever it is remitted. Unless DTA and perhaps home tax authority priority etc. or expended outwith being remitted in some other way..... Since I'm not 100% in Thailand, I would tend to think having the CG whilst not resident and creating Savings Pots with paper trail would be more certain. (Provided practical considerations allowed)
-
If you are Thai Tax resident at the time of The CG, would the Thai Tax not have to be lower than Home country tax, at the point of the event. (Theoretical maybe rather than practical) Other situation could be you are Thai Tax resident, but you are UK tax resident at the time of the CG event, over 183 days in that UK tax year (6th April to 5th April)

It is good that the highlighted that if taking the upto 25% Tax Free in UK, pension commencement lump sum. Do not be Thai Tax Resident the year of that transaction! Could cost millions in Thai tax Back 6 years ago I took mine in March, and did not fly to Thailand until after the UK tax year had concluded on the 5th April, and also ensured less than 180 days in that year... That would be devastating if someone walked into that trap...

It may be strictly enforced should a co-incidental event flag you up somehow, in ongoing years. Bank deposit or transfer if they do a sample for scrutiny, but what's the odds (oops sorry no gambling in TH) Not as if they are going to pursue everyone, they haven't uptill now with their indiganouse folks

Planned to remit only;- Savings from non-resident Income Whilst non-resident Taxed only in UK Gov pension & perhaps sdditionally when TH tax resident;- Taxed at source in UK private pension(s) upto the amount of Thai RC Allowances+150k Zero+ slightly into 5% band. So poll question maybe:- Intermittently tax resident in Thailand, whilst restricting remittance whilst tax resident to low tax bands. Of course life is often only a series of random events, where tax planning cannot aleays be 1st priority

Unless you actually sold and repurchasedyour property prior to 1st Jan 2024 generating a new pricing point, I can't see how the interim valuations would be helpful. When you sell your property, will Thai RD not request your home country tax docs Probably, nearly surely, you should aim to not be Thai tax resident at the point of the property sale that generates the gain.

For the UK born kid we just went to the Embassy and obtained a Thai birth cert as mother is Thai. Then Thai passport. ID card was much later. (after having to give tea money to encourage the local office in Thailand to do their job ) Don't know if she could pass Thai nationality to my Grandson or not. -
If they issue a new / updated return form, fingers crossed it will clarify. If obtaining "tax authority certificate" like a " letter of confirmation" from HMRC whether it would reflect any DTA provision or (more likely) not. If not, how does, for example .Gov pensions remain as 'Taxed only in the UK' It does ask the purpose for requesting, but is that a process tick box or (less likely perhaps ) Is it processed to suit the reason requested. Will have to see if I can find.examples on the/ a tax forum.

It does mention the apportionment method for the relief. (That method circumstantially reinforced for CGT etc maybe). So it would seem that you have to list and provide the tax paid on say all your pensions, and the credit relief will be proportional to the amount remitted. So say perhaps (for simplicity example) UK state pension £10k UK Employer pension £15k UK Civil Service .GOV £ 5k (only taxed in UK re-DTA) Private pension 1 £1285 Private pension 2 £1285 £32570 (UK personal allowance £12570) - THB 1465650 So say 20% tax above p.a. = £4000 Remit say £20k - THB 900k Tax credit 61.4% of £4000=£2546 - THB 110.5 k credit relief available. But there should be no tax on the GOV pension, but it would be needed for the Credit relief Calc? So will the just say the Gov pension is placed at the bottom of the stack where they say your not being taxed, but that would (as mentioned in another post) it pushes everything else up the Thai taxation bands (also UK .Gov pension could well exceed the Thai tax PA and zero bands..) ( Something similar suggesting apportionment was noted in the Norwegian question PDF back about p222 ish with the emphasis on avoiding double relief, in relation to the Personal allowances of each state). It's Sunny here in Scotland currently, but God has still got the External Aircon set about 10C, Still,will go out for a wee while. .

Still a bit unsure how to express the Civil Service "only taxed in UK" DTA article 19 pension, on a Thai RD tax return. As it was mentioned that an office said there is only credit relief for tax paid. Which to me would suggest the entire amount and it's associated tax deducted from it, not applied as credit, and should all be excluded before TH RD computation. Because I'm looking as mine being all fully taxed as well above the UK Personal Allowance. ( the other bit of my occupational pension uses the PA up, hopefully the state pension will come along in about 6 years) It seems they may wish to include it and could push the remainder into a higher band. I would nly would wish Civil Service pension listed as an explanation of the remittance, and that it's been through the mill. I don't do returns in the UK, as they said, they can see everything on their screen. Interesting that that option is available, applicable family members just let them fix it all with the Tax coding.
