It doesn't get any easier to apply for payroll tax exemption. The tax authorities in Heerlen ask you to prove that you are a tax resident in your country of residence (Thailand), and therefore pay tax there.

It's a figment of my mind that came to my mind today. Want to see this soaked loose whether or not to pay tax, because that is not the question. You live in Thailand and are liable to pay tax here, but now for whatever reason Tax Authorities Heerlen still levies tax, which is reserved for Thailand according to the Tax Treaty.

My girlfriend has had her long stay visa since March this year. She has also been working for a month now and has now received her first salary. Now we would like to save a certain amount each month. And a joint savings account is perfect for this, of course. Only we would like to technically not become partners. So that she is still entitled to care allowance, etc

Due to emigration to Thailand in 2018, I received an M-declaration form from the Tax Authorities in the Netherlands. At question 65 (out of a total of 83 questions on 58 pages!) the income to be preserved must be entered (mandatory in case of emigration). At question 65a this is the value of the accrued pension entitlements at the time of emigration (if taxable in the Netherlands ) or the total of the contributions withheld (if taxable in the country of residence). The explanatory notes to the M form do state what needs to be completed, but do not provide any indication as to how to obtain this information.

A lot has been written about paying taxes in Thailand, but what I would like to know, why do we as foreigners have to go through so much trouble to register with the tax authorities here? Surely it shouldn't be difficult for the tax authorities to know where you live and then send a tax bill to your address as, at least I assume, is done by the Thais.

Have a company pension of 15.431 euros and a reduced AOW for married couples of 7.860 euros. In the Netherlands I paid 697 euros in tax on my state pension and nothing on my company pension. In Thailand I paid 29.500 baht on my company pension plus AOW. Without AOW I would have had to pay 4.200 baht. In other words, a loss of 25.300 baht. If this was a one-off, it would still be manageable, but this will play every year.

Many contributions have already been published on Thailandblog about tax payment when emigrating to Thailand. Everyone apparently has their own truth, but it is also a complicated matter. I would now very much like to know from someone who will be in exactly the same situation as me, how that person handled it or what tips that person has to arrive at the most advantageous possible tax burden.

I would like to emigrate to Thailand. Have checked out a lot. I have a WIA benefit 100% + IVA. But I also want to renew the EA because I read old stories about tax deductions here in the Netherlands. I receive my WIA = income from the Netherlands.

The aim of the negotiations is a new or amended tax treaty. Such a treaty contains agreements that should prevent companies or citizens from paying double tax on the one hand and that no tax is paid on the other. This is achieved by dividing the taxing rights between the Netherlands and the other country in question and by including anti-abuse provisions in tax treaties to limit the risks of unintentional non-taxation and abuse.

I have been getting my tax on my state pension and pension back for several years now, because I register myself as a non-resident taxpayer. That's nice, but I wonder if I shouldn't register with the tax authorities here in Thailand (I've been living here for a few years now)?

I accrued my ABP pension through my employer (FOM Foundation), which was affiliated with ABP as a B3 institution (public employer under private law). I asked the ABP whether or not my ABP pension is taxable in Thailand, but I was referred to the tax authorities (logical!). Informing the tax authorities did not provide any clarity. I must first apply for the tax exemption in due course to find out where my ABP pension will be taxable.

My Thai wife wants to sell her apartment in Thailand. Now we have no idea how this process works properly and how the taxes should be paid correctly. Does a sales agreement have to be submitted to the Land Office? If not, how can they know the selling price? If this is the case, is it customary in Thailand to pay part in cash and make a sales agreement for the rest? Who pays the transfer fee? The buyer? Who pays the Business tax? The salesman?

Dear readers, I have a question for Dutch people who live in Thailand and are liable to pay tax there. My brother-in-law has been living permanently in Thailand as a pensioner since September 2018 and needs a declaration for his payroll tax exemption. He is 72 years old and speaks fluent Thai but does not have access to the internet in Thailand and is not at home in it. Now he has been to the tax office in Phetchabun to make a statement…

Since September 14, Belgians can submit their taxes via Tax On Web. Last year everything ran smoothly, now I get one error message after another. In the end I was able to save my declaration but not yet submitted it. Apparently there are also some benefits that we could use in the past. After filling in and checking everything, it turns out
that I have to pay back € 1.340 on my small civil servant pension. That is an almost full pension.

I would like to put to you a question related to two matters, firstly regarding tax payment in Thailand and secondly to the “amount of Thai baht 800.000 as an amount to obtain an annual visa or a minimum income of Thai baht 65.000. per month (possibly a combination of both with an annual total amount of Thai baht 800.000).
