  1. Yes I can believe that. Just to be clear I was not disputing recent/current Singapore prices.
  2. You would need to read your DTA as has been advised in all the other threads multiple times........
  3. My last trip to Singapore was about then and I thought it was sterile and expensive - however not as bad as the prices you mentioned. How long ago did you experience that? 2 years ago in a small town south west of London the minimum in a Wetherspoons was about £3.75 and all the other places were around a fiver......
  4. Not seen anybody answer you so you are currently wrong but who knows........ Change to regulation started from 1/01/2024 removing loophole of remitting year after earnt. However any savings prior to that date can be remitted without incurring tax. This is in play and effectively will only be seen when people file (those who do...) Jan-March 2025. Thread is about a new RD proposal to tax tax residents on world wide income - no-one knows exactly when or even if this will be put in play and therefore what dates will apply.
  5. @Tommy Dee (presuming I have the right person?) does this affect Fabulous 103FM?
  6. You are presupposing that the "vast majority"are from the US I presume? I don't have any stats but I doubt that.........and as @Dogmatix mentions some of us will be potentially royally stuffed........
  7. I suggest you recall incorrectly - or the post you remember was complete hogwash.......... As to the rest of your post.........I will pass .
  8. I agree it is definitely subject to the UK and hopefully he knows what he is referring to in that Thailand will ignore it........
  9. Yes the initial change announced last year looks like it will just move ahead but the "proposed" move to world wide taxation on tax residents is a bit of a seismic shift........Others have suggested however that the process to enshrine that will take a while so will likely not be implemented until 2025 earliest - if it goes ahead......
  10. Well I have just given you a practical example - IE me. You are/were confusing domicile with non-resident in relation to the person you replied to. Also when quoting something as you have, etiquette (if not AN rules), say you are supposed to quote the link to the source of the info Likewise Although my previous research agrees 100% with what you posted.
  11. I don't think it does as the UK/Thai version of the DTA states in Article 14 - Because it uses the word "may" it is potentially open to being taxed again and then requiring a credit requested against UK tax......or simply showing it has already been taxed may mean that the Thai RD leave it alone...... Has been argued about in the longer tax threads so someone else may have a more definitive view - which would still need to be tested with the relevant RD office........
  12. It's not necessarily that they think they do not have to do the same. That is how the tax rules have been set up for decades. Just so happens that Thailand not only moved the goal posts with the change announced last year but now are talking about moving the whole stadium..........(if it goes ahead)
  13. Perhaps we are talking Apples and Oranges. Registering as non-resident for tax in the UK is vastly different to registering as a non-dom. Non-doms are (as far as I am aware) are tax resident in the UK but not domiciled. As a lowly Brit but registered as non-resident for tax with HMRC I pay no tax on any offshore income or any capital gains excluding property. I have not had to show that I am registered elsewhere.
  14. if you haven't seen it maybe start with this - However the guide does not factor in the latest potential move of the goal posts.....
  15. If you want to install the app you have to press yes. As long as you know what it is and are happy with where you downloaded it from there should not be any issues. It obviously has to link into the OS to work.........
  16. This "fellow" has posted regularly over many, many years in the Pattaya forum. I would also like to see a builder rec. but can also understand why he may have pm'd it to the OP. If others need at the moment then nothing stopping them asking the member concerned.
  17. Export shop downstairs in the Outlet Mall is still there.
  18. I agree it used to be but found it significantly improved when they upgraded the lighting - I think last year? However I noticed the other day that some of the lights seemed to be failing.
  19. Why? If you are here for less than 180 days in a calendar year then you are not affected........
  20. India looking to do a specific deal with Iran - not really directly BRICS related is it....... Second example has been proven (according to your link) as a fake...... So how long did it take you to come up with those 2 poor examples which don't really support your original hypotheses....... And your answer tells us how that affects you personally........? I was genuinely intrigued as to how you thought it would impact your life.
  21. I should know but unfortunately have forgotten - where the hell is this road?
  22. What nonsense. What sanctions are there on India and South Africa - and Brazil.......... Thailand is but one country applying and not the first in line. There was a fairly recent thread on this. What real difference do you think it will make to you if/when they do join?
  23. If push came to shove and you were audited (and they didn't do what Mike suggested ) then I suggest that is where the plan would fall over. The additional change to allow savings up to 31/12/24 is already quite "generous".........
  24. No - however I disagree with Mike's view on this to the extent that it appears to be another loophole........
