How are pensions taxed under the Singapore-Thailand tax treaty?
Under the Singapore-Thailand tax treaty, private pensions are generally taxable only in the country of residence β meaning no withholding tax applies at source (0%). This is favorable for retirees who have moved between the two countries, as their pension income will not be subject to double taxation. Government pensions may have different rules under a separate treaty article. This 0% rate compares to a median of 0% across Singapore's 42 active treaty partners, and 0% across Thailand's 22 active partners.
