Yes, each to their own, but I know which does not expose an expat to the mine field of "owning" in Thailand.

Yes, some people, like yourself, for example, need to watch it three times.

Just another video that's out there. I don't know the guy. I have never engaged the services of his business. There's a thread running where the boss of the TRD tells tax residents to file, and you still put your own "spin" on it. Good Luck try trying to buck the Thai system. We've seen others try it, and it did not end well for them.

How do they know it's "misinformation" if you don't post any information to counter it?

It's been posted before. He's the Senior Legal Officer in the TRD. What more do you need? Do you want Thaksin himself to tell you, face to face?

Which would be most expats. Glad we cleared that up.

The dangerous posts are from those suggesting to do nothing, it will all go away.

I'm warning you about listening to those members who say do nothing, it will all go away. Those are the ones you should be scared of.

Freeze the video at 0:32. The name of the place they are in is called "Vespa Coffee Man." A Google bought up their Facebook page. It's in Phuket. https://www.facebook.com/p/Vespa-coffee-man-100075734266281/ Freeze at 4:10. There's a sign on a building saying "Visa Extension." If not Phuket, where do you say they are?

Link?

Merely pointing out a new "2 step" in "The Somchai Shuffle." They didn't tell him, "No need to file." They told him to go and ask immigration about it. What's next, go and ask your Thai bank about it? With every TRD Office making it up as they go along, we might even see some people who should pay tax, get a TM30 in a province where their local TRD say, "No need to file." They will go TRD Office shopping.

No. I'll continue to help you with your post count.

Great plan. What could possibly go wrong?

The lawyers can be bought. "Vard claimed his lawyer in Phuket was bought by the gang and when he hired a lawyer from Bangkok, the lawyer was also hired to lose the cases again, he alleged." Here's a bigger case, 65 million baht. Rent, don't buy, and enjoy your retirement.

I considered this. Are are you finding it? Is it genuine LTSC? If so, where did you pick up the license?

I don't care about your opinion of my posts. Why not go on the record and post your opinion on this tax policy? You have more posts them, and haven't posted any content in over a dozen posts. Pot kettle.

Wow. Check out "The Somchai Shuffle" in Phuket. He got referred to immigration about his possible tax liability. The chaos continues. Note: His friend was told by Phuket Immigration in December he will need tax documents for next year's extension. (2025) This guy documents "The Somchai Shuffle." Obviously, he can not film inside government buildings, but he films outside, and give his account of the meetings that just took place. He also sends in his Thai partner to cross reference the information given to him earlier at immigration. He mentions AN, and the information others have posted. The video is only 4 days old. Interesting times ahead.

So, your sole purpose of posting on tax threads is to troll members that you disagree with, yet don't post your own opinion.

What do you think the Thai government will do to force you to file? I, and some others, have suggested a certificate from the TRD will be needed at extension time. It's so easy for them to do this. You do know that Thai banks report account details. I can't see you getting a free pass. If they were to give you a free pass, they would have to give us all a free pass.

So it's "probably" now. Yes, and it's possible my tax agent may be able to "negotiate" my tax bill. TiT. Exactly why they will link it to immigration in the future.

Mike is off on a rekkie, checking out neighboring countries as a place to live for 6 months, in order to escape being a Thai tax resident.

Thailand has thousands of Thai tax residents that are foreigners. The message is they want to tax you. I think this is pretty clear to all. By all means, everyone should try to minimize their tax, but ignore the message at your own peril. Members spreading "messages" like, "It will never happen because they would have to hire 5000 more TRD staff" are simply laughable, yet, some actually believe it. Do they really believe it, or just really need to believe it. Who knows? Times are changing.

It's clear TRD staff have not been trained up to deal with a wave of foreigners coming through their doors. Tax is a complex set of laws in every country, including Thailand. I am sure you have used the saying, "This is Thailand" before. Isn't such a term "disrespectful" to Thailand and Thai people? Are you suggesting the several members that have posted about going to their local TRD Office and were simply told, "No need to file" are lying?

Telling people to abide by Thai tax law is not "dangerous" but you telling them not to worry, do nothing, it will all go away is "dangerous." Too funny. About 10 posts now with no content from you.

Yes, because it's my opinion. I am posting for myself. This guy read the Thai law. That's not an opinion, is it? It's YOUR opinion discussing this subject is scaremongering, but that's just opinion.
