Simple, to invoice as a business the payment needs to go into a business account, which is a legal entity, not a personal account, strictly speaking you are stealing money from the business and committing fraud if your using a company invoice and detouring the money to a personal account..

 

Because they are sending money to a personal account, you are treated as an individual  not a company and they will be obligated by law to invoke withholding tax from you, as they dont know where you are resident or paying tax...currently the transaction is company to indivudual...

 

To not pay tax in france, you need to invoice from the company, money is paid into the company account, you draw a "salary" from your company and pay income tax on that in Thailand...then this transaction is company to company (legal entity to legal entity)

 

Thank you very much mate! Great answer ???? Not what I wanted to hear but at least I know what to do about it now! lol

"They are not paying my company account, i use my personal thai account" and there is your answer as to why your being taxed on the French end

Could you elaborate please? In a lot of years I've never had this issue before. 

Thanks for your information. It's a French company but they're not paying my company account, I use my personal thai account for business in my name as my lawyer just always told me mai dai for setting up a business account for whatever reason! So taxes I sort yearly or whenever my accountant asks for all my statements. So yes either way that has nothing to do with the French company I believe... So they listed TTC and deducted from what they owe me. I just don't see how they can deduct a french tax for me when I'm operating and giving them services here in Thailand and when I submit the invoice and receipts I'll likely get taxed here also. 

So should a European client be deducting tax based on their country from the payment for my services that I'm providing based in Thailand. I have a Thai company so presume they should be paying me in full and it's my responsibility to pay Thailand taxes as the client is not a Thai company.

Thanks

Im a drone operator. Ask him nicely to not fly over your property, if he says no throw a stick at it!

Some info as I have lots of mutual friends with the guy and saw him a few times. His Farang gf who found him is clearly implying what the police are saying is true and is hoping he finds peace and happyness now or something to that effect... Obviously needs investigating but does look to be a suicide at least to those who found him.

I love how the Koh Tao people leave sarcastic remarks anytime someone dies elsewhere in the country. Sure dodgyness is all around Thailand however not with such overwhelming evidence of corruption and a cover up as the Koh Tao cases!!!

Conclusion of the Ranong Andaman Club Visa Run

I'm on a Non Immigrant B Multiple entry visa with work permit. I was not asked to show any funds. A bus load of toursts from Koh Tao also never got asked to show any money or pay bribes unlike the other port in Ranong. It was a much more pleasurable experience and only costs a few hundred baht more which you will likely get extorted at the other port anyway!

It just seems retarded, re-iterating what lkv said, if you are fully employed you obviously are in a career with a certain salary with a Thai company sponsoring you (on paper although most the time we are just paying for a bunch of shit we don't need) which should be enough. Ive got millions of baht worth of investment sitting here in Thailand including the car i'll drive myself there with but sometimes actual cash can get low between buying and getting paid when you're constantly investing your money. Anyway, i've decided it's not worth the stress so to just get it but i will try without and report back! 

Yes I have a work permit, well some reports at least would be great as it's not easy for me to get 20k for tomorrow as ive just spent a load and get paid in a weeks time so thats why im wondering also if they give you a chance to goto an atm at least as if push came to shove I could get it out but would incur some fees in the process! Cheers for all the advice btw! :D 

Thanks, does anybody actually know the answer though? Seems lots of people guessing when it's to do with Thailand Visa info cause they make it so confusing! If you don't have it, do they let you goto an atm to withdraw at least?

So im doing a visa run soon on my non b multi visa that i've held around 7 years. Will I have to show 20k cash or thats just for tourists? 

Thank you!

I'm believing you but i'll give a call to be sure in the morning! Thank you for your time.

Someone elsewhere seems to think you can get a 30 day extension with a multiple entry non B 1 year visa

Anyone an expert on this or tried recently? :S 

Exact Quote:  "  if u have a 1 year non B visa u should get a 30 day
If u have a 1 year EXTENSION and u lose ur wp u will ONLY get 7 days to leave 
Meaning is everything.
ALSO:
If u have a 1 year Non B visa ( issued outside thialand) 
If you do a border run just before the Visa expires you will get another 90 days.
Giving a total of 15 months."

Ok thought as much but a friend thought otherwise! Cheers for the feedback!

Like the title says, just wondering if I can waddle my fat arse into Phuket Immigration and get a 30 day extension to my Non Immigrant B visa as I'm leaving overseas next month on holiday so only need a few weeks and saves me a visa run. Thank you :) 

I only wish passengers has beat the living crap out of him for saying such a joke before letting the authorities put him into a lifetime of debt to cover the costs of his actions.

So to say what happened. I'm on a Non B multiple entry visa, have to do a run every 3 months. I'm a work permit holder also. I had 39 days overstay. 

So they ask me why I have such long overstay, I explained my reason and apologised. Then they tell me I have to goto the airport and cant do it here for long overstay. (same shit they gave me last time when I had 1 day overstay because of an error bangkok airport made)

So feeling tired and not wanting to prolong my agony I ask them can I pay a little bit extra. He sits me down, trusty rip off calculator comes out and they ask me to pay an extra 2000 baht tea money.

On the way back I slipped 500 in my passport in case they decided to give me another going over coming back in and wouldnt accept my bank book as proof. They returned my passport with my 90 day extension and 500 baht still inside...

So corrupt as ever but the 500 baht back was maybe cause I took it quite well and was quite friendly with them during the ordeal cause I was just relieved to not have bigge problems and it was my fault.

Ps Burma border is so friendly these days. The same guys that have been there for at least 8 years, kids grown up. They don't hassle you like they used to they just politely give information and there is a TIP box if you want to and the Immigration officials there are quite friendly and nothing like the Ranong side of things.

Hi! If I can show at least 20k in my account via bank book is that sufficient to not pay the 500 baht under the table fine? I'm already having to pay bloody 20,000 overstay charge!

Thanks

The Thai guy came in against a much more experienced opponent and had a go! Screw the people laughing at him at screw the promoter for fixing an easy fight for their countryman. 

Ah sorry for the confusion, I'm on a B visa with a work permit but I have to leave the country every 3 months, my visa has not expired though.

Ah Damm, yes I've been flying out for over a year on jobs so forgot about it completely! Last time I was there they were very unfriendly to the point of intimidation/extortion as I was travelling alone and not with a tour with 1 day unknown overstay. He was hinting for me to give him the 10 usd I had for Burma, made me wait and wait, threatened to close and saying I'd have to fly instead as I was late. I'm gonna leave my phone recording in my pocket on this one

So for the first time in 8 years I confused my dates I'm a month overstay right now as I forgot to do a visa run! I'm heading to Ranong tomorrow but wondered if anyone knows what to expect? 500 baht per day fine maxing at 20k?

Thanks

Cut the heads off them??? Hope they were put to sleep first... Nothing surprises me here!

I think I'm a director but possibly not, it was setup in typical fashion for me to get a work permit and work legally, went away for quite a long time, came back heard nothing... head in sand... now judgement day is coming! I don't want to leave any trouble for the shareholders who helped me out so looks like I gotta just go pay for the old one. Just dont trust my accountant to give me the best deal even if it is my fault I'm in this situation!
