Thailand advances its bid for OECD membership to boost economy
topt replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Looking at the list of member countries I wonder how many years they think that will take? When you consider the next levels - OECD Accession candidates - 6 countries listed - Argentina (added 2022), Brazil, Peru, Romania, Bulgaria and Croatia. OECD Key Partners - another 5 names - Brazil, China, India, Indonesia and South Africa -

topt replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
How much do you want to lose? I didn't even bother to look. Having expressed a personal view on your specific comment I am a little disappointed to then be effectively insulted. Since you know little about me I am intrigued by what is meant by -

In case he hadn't noticed it doesn't matter what the law says if it is not enforced..........drink driving being a classic example. -
Same same. Had one trip 1 out of the 3 only 9 days ago at about 5.30pm. Being on a Saturday at that time I was prepared for it to take a while but in fact was fixed within an hour. Is a not irregular occurrence in the moo baan....... Cannot see how you can guard against it short of redesigning transformers.......

Not trying to be pedantic but I think you are using words like domicile in a somewhat free and easy way. It is very difficult for UK citizen to lose their domicile in the UK - especially as regards IHT. As a non resident I can earn offshore income and not be taxed on it and as long as away, I think for 5 years, I can remit back to the UK and not pay any tax on it as well - as long as still non resident when doing so. My domicile does not change. The domicile bit I think is to do with resident for tax in UK but have foreign domicile and then they can pay in different ways - sorry if this is not what you were referring to. Agree with @Yumthai above.

Sorry but maybe the late hour but can you elucidate at all on this? I know there is a way you can forgo your PA and not pay tax on UK divis etc but I thought you still had to pay on rental income irrespective? This is just DTA digest and for Thailand has been reported many times (by me) showing no relief for private or state pension so not sure of the relevance - other than if trying to claim a credit somewhere?

I suggest you read the article.........

Have you seen the news item opinion about the Russians on Phuket? How does extending their 30 day to 90 visa exempt fit in with your statement........ https://aseannow.com/topic/1324856-phuket’s-‘russian-invasion’-–-they’re-here-to-stay/

Yes I get that but is it normal in other beer bar complexes to not be able to set your own retail prices? My guess is no based on my experience from drinking in them years ago but my memory could be faulty.

Thanks for posting. I did see the message come up the other day after launching Kodi. Unfortunately however I ended up going back from 20 to 19.5 a while ago due to issues with the add-ons I had so I think it will be a while before I try 21. Saying that I am mainly using it as a viewer these days as said add-ons seem to offer less and less.........

Sorry to hear of your troubles but where were you able to get all that for only 6k baht?

What I am curious about is how the Thai RD is actually going to change their processes to supposedly "catch" all the literally hundreds (if not thousands) of expats who should probably have been filing a tax return for god knows how many years already....... If filing is based on an "honour" system perhaps they won't pro-actively do anything........ Considering the rule change was supposedly initially to close the loophole for Thai's it is going to be interesting to see how many foreigners who don't file actually get approached after the end of the first quarter next year.
