Home » Reader question » Reader question: Income statement and gross occupational pension
Dear readers,
The entire discussion surrounding the new income statement is still unclear. What if one receives the gross occupational pension in Thailand? And people are exempt from paying tax in the Netherlands?
Is that sufficient to obtain a statement from the embassy?
Greeting.
Palm
Gross is then net and people want to see net on that note. You can enclose a copy of the exemption, then the embassy will see this and include the gross amount in the calculation.
Does the embassy not take into account Thai taxation?
That would be strange to say the least.
Do calculate with the Dutch tax, but not the possible tax due in Thailand.
Net money is deposited into your account. So you can also show how much your income is with bank statements.
Isn't it true that this income is in Thailand and you therefore have to declare it to the Thai tax authorities? The next question is whether the Dutch embassy should confirm this, because it is Thai taxable income. Or does immigration also accept fixed income that is taxable in Thailand and how should this be proven?
Tax obligation, does not mean that you have to pay tax, is a reporting obligation in Thailand since January 1, 2015 for foreigners who stay here for more than 180 days.
You should see this separately from demonstrating sufficient income for obtaining a year extension.
So your gross occupational pension is your net income (due to exemption in NL). Which makes it easier to meet the Thai requirement.
Now you have the obligation to report to the Thai tax authorities, where you only state what you have actually transferred to Thailand, so if your company pension is transferred directly to Thailand, then you state that. See taxes in this blog for details. You soon have an exemption of more than 400.000 baht depending on your (family status) and you are older than 60.
Your confusion lies in not distinguishing the two things: tax liability and income condition for year extension.
