Q1181. Can a Thai stock dividend tax voucher be translated with NAATI for passive income proof?

Answered by NAATI Certified Practitioner · NYC Visa & Translation

Yes, a Thai dividend withholding tax voucher can be translated by a NAATI-certified Thai-to-English translator to support evidence of passive income. Provide a clear copy showing the shareholder’s name, payer, payment date, gross dividend, withholding tax and net amount, including any notes or reverse-side entries. Supply the shareholder’s passport spelling and, if available, the company’s official English name. The translation should preserve tax terminology and distinguish dividend income from capital gains. A voucher alone may not establish ongoing income, so the receiving authority may also request bank credits, investment statements or tax returns. Confirm the evidence and translation requirements with the Department of Home Affairs or the Australian organisation assessing your finances.
