Where do you have your ABP pension taxed?
Where your ABP pension is taxed is regulated in the Treaty for the avoidance of double taxation concluded between the Netherlands and Thailand (hereinafter: Treaty).

With a reasonable ABP pension, such an incorrect assessment can easily cost you about 5 to 6 thousand euros per year in undue income tax.

On the site I found a lot of interesting information about emigrating to Thailand. Very educational and useful. The information about deductions from the pension benefit if you live in Thailand is still a bit unclear/confusing to me.
