Thread: Working overseas

If you work for an English company but live in Thailand and work is based from home travelling to job in various locations,get paid when you leave to when you return.Money is paid to yourself any nominated account company.
How do you stand on the T.A.X etc.

where are you paid - UK or Thailand?

The company will pay me to any nominated bank account I have said my English one

and you live in Thailand more or less than 180 days a year?

I have lived here for the past 2 years and intend staying here. I am married and been living here on 3 month non imm o Visas.I will be living here less than 180 days

If you live in Thailand more than 180 days a year, then you are a tax resident of Thailand.

Thailand has a world-wide tax earnings rule if you bring the money you earn into Thailand in the same tax year (01 Jan - 31 Dec) in which you earnt it.

If you bring the money into Thailand in a subsequent tax year to the tax year in which you earnt it, there is no income tax payable as the Revenue Dept / Revenue Code has a presumition that it was taxed in the country of source.

I cannot tell you what your tax liabilities in the UK would be, but others no doubt can

Many Thanks.If anybody has information on the tax liabiliy in the U.K please post

You need to fill in a form (forget the number) stating you are a non-uk resident. You will then be tax-free on your salary provided you are out of the country at least 9 months a year.

Would that be a form from thailand or england I have already informed the HMRC in england that i have left the country permanently

^it would be a form for the UK, Thailand doesn't have a form saying you are a non-res of the UK, all they care about is that you are a res of Thailand

In any event, on tax issues Thormaturge is your man. If he posts anything that differs from my posts (as they relate to tax issues), listen to him not me.

Tax? Haven't paid it since I was 18 years old.
I informed the UK tax-man that I am a non-resident. In Thailand I'm just what they love; a frequent tourist, so nobody to pay tax to.
