Australia can't afford for the housing bubble to burst. The government has to keep pouring fuel on that fire. Remember what happened in America in 2008, it would be worse in Australia. For Aussie expats in Thailand, you would be lucky to get 15 baht for $1AUD.

Back up your data and reset the computer. Start with a clean slate.

Ok, so, next question is, How did the "little mark on the screen" get there? Does it have a SSD or HDD?

Youtube have been underpaying content creators for years. A members only section for payment is a way they can actually get paid for making their content. There's nothing wrong with paying a little for content that is helpful, or of interest to you. It supports the content creator.

Is it any different to an android box that you could have bought in Thailand?

Alcohol is taxed twice a year in Australia, so it has a compounding effect. As we are seeing with cigarettes, a black market flourishing, eventually, we will see the same with alcohol. Aussies could very well end up buying, and consuming, backyard distilled Lao Khao in the future.

You sound like an Australian politician.

Spinning fast as every day passes. http://australiandebtclock.com.au How can a country with such an abundance be so badly mismanaged and in so much debt?

For what it's worth, the word "pension" is used to describe monthly income generated by a super fund, but in many cases it's actually an "annuity." Therefore, using the word "pension" for these payments can be incorrect.

The DTA does not cover this type of income. It is taxable in Thailand.

Many of the elderly feel safer handling their cash inside the branch, and not on the footpath. There's good reason for this. Many of them would get their handbag snatched just leaving the ATM on pension day. Probably why some banks now have their ATM's behind sliding doors, 24/7, that you need to swipe your card to gain access.

One is "entitled" to apply for it based on age. Whether they are approved to receive it, or part of it, is a different story.

There will be no Aussie aged pension in the future for people who have worked throughout their life. Their super will push them over any means testing, so no pension for them. Same old, same old. The workers paying for those who can, but don't work, ever.

Can you give an example? Seems like the usual suspects to me.

Thank you for following me. I post in more than two forums. Be sure to check out all my posts, and hit the like button.

Probably because, unlike you, I post content.

That's because your link was worth <deleted> all. Nothing new in it.

Members should already be formulating a Plan B, a Plan C and a Plan D.

Might have something to do with all the Aussie call centers there.

I agree, and less stringent foreign labor laws.

You know the saying about death and taxes. If you don't want to pay tax, that only leaves the other option.

How was the American housing market in 2008, and for some years after that?

31st March is looming. Members will need to be proactive. No one wants to be the one they make an example of.

For some, it will be financially beneficial to say "bye bye Thailand" for 6 months of the year. For others, they will simply pay their tax liability because it's not so big. Some may have to make a judgement call if this tax still means Thailand is a value for money place to live full time. For high net worth individuals, it may be a game changer. Also, for pensioners, a little out of a little can be a lot to them. Interesting times ahead.

I know the Revenue Department boss has made these comments, but isn't this thread "scaremongering?" I mean, so many members think this tax issue will go away, and this thread is just scaring them. Maybe it should be deleted. After all, if we don't know about it, we can't be scared of it.
