  1. You don't live in Thailand, do you?
  2. Not late at all. I have agreed with you in the past on this. Then, there's also the proposed changes to non resident tax enforcement, but that's in another thread. I have suggested that moving to a more affordable country may be the only option for many, that would be Cambodia for most, or, to the village in Thailand, to live out one's days in a pitiful manner.
  3. Your thread topic was "try." Merely pointing out trying something similar in Thailand can lead to consequences that are detrimental to one's health. Do you agree, or not?
  4. Legal question. Say an apprentice is "hooning" in his bosses tradie ute and the boss receives a heap of fines in the mail. Should the boss have his ute crushed?
  5. Like I said, it encourages people who want to "hoon" to use someone else's car, right? Get it?
  6. Balconies are common in Thailand. So is getting assassinated for going up against connected Thai's, but hey, keep thinking they play by Australian rules here.
  7. No one is worried, just sorting out the BS from the facts here. Can you tell us all where all these police cameras are take photos of car thieves joy riding? Do those stolen cars get crushed? No.
  8. This guy was that stupid he didn't car about the dash cam. Looked like a meth head to me. My question to you is, where were all the police taking photos of him???? That's not how they caught him. He got caught because he was that high he drove there car to either his house, or where he was staying.
  9. Well, I guess there's no need to wear a balaclava when robbing a bank then. Talk about pea brain.
  10. That's great. Better than getting thrown off a balcony for complaining.
  11. Is there a police officer sitting next to the car thieve taking photos while they are joy riding? What a ridiculous comment.
  12. Minimal town planning laws in Thailand. If you are a vegan in Thailand, someone cooking meat next door is the least of your worries. You could have a pig farm, Thai karaoke, or nightclub open up next door, and there's nothing you can do about it.
  13. Funny how the government is directing people's focus towards "The Voice" and not the harsh economy reality facing tax payers, and future generations.
  14. Getting the dole comes with some obligations. For some who have been in Thailand for quite a while, they may not like to abide by such obligations.
  15. If anything, it will be raised to 68 or 69.
  16. All that does is encourage people to steal cars for their thrills. The car owner picks up the tab.
  17. I agree, but another member on this forum has stated that one is allowed to go overseas for a "prolonged period" of time and not be cut off, and not have the clock restarted on the 2 year prison sentence, because a nice girl at the call center told him so. When asked for a link on what is a "prolonged period" of time, and what is not, there was no reply. Grain of salt.
  18. Doesn't matter what you declare. They know you are have not been living inside Australia, and for how long. That's all they need to know.
  19. All that changes is the snouts in the trough for the next few years.
  20. Yet another new thread where the non resident for taxation purposes issue is being discussed, yet it's denied by many on the pension thread, despite dividends and pensions both being deemed as income by the Australian government. If you don't want to be taxed as a non resident of Australia for taxation purposes, then don't have any assets in Australia for them to tax. Simple concept, really.
  21. They don't tax interest on savings. Really? Link please? Investment properties are not as lucrative as they once were. Taxes, fees, levies, rates, maintenance etc. How does leaving money in Australia in a term deposit and / or buying a rental property, help someone remain a resident of Australia for tax purposes?
  22. Some posts about driving a taxi. It's all Uber, or similar now. You'll need an appropriate car, and have to do long hours. As for finding employment in Australia, when over 60 years of age, good luck. Chances are next to zero.
  23. That wooshing sound above your head is sarcasm flying over.
  24. Yawn. Been debated and proven through many links, particularly one link where the question was asked on an online ATO forum, and answered by a staff member from the ATO. A pension is deemed to be an income, and if you are a non resident for tax purposes, you "should" be paying 32.5% tax on any, and all income, derived from Australia, which includes pensions. The proposed changes are not new laws. They just allow the ATO, Centrelink, and Immigration data bases to finally all communicate together in order to either collect the 32.5% non resident tax from those earning back in Australia, or withhold 32.5% tax on pensions. It's as simple as that.
  25. So, it's only your opinion then. You forget, the legal public servants are permanently employed, on a salary, they are not outsourced and paid for a job. They get paid every fortnight regardless if they have 10 cases on the go, or 20 cases on the go, they still get paid the same. Sure, but you are yet to state, or link, an actual dollar figure as to what is not a "viable" tax debt to pursue. Is it $500, $5000, or more? You are the one claiming they will not chase a small debt, so what is "small?"
