Well, Certificates of Residence are supposed to be free, but most pay 300 baht.
Why wouldn't the bosses of TRD offices make up their own rules to put their own snouts in the trough as well?
Said it before, most expat pensioners may not even have to pay any tax, but they MAY have to pay for a document from the TRD, and just like the free Certificate of Residence that is 300 baht, that goes straight into someone's pocket.
We will get to see how it unfolds early next year, but they can change the rules on the fly to suit themselves.
Irrelevant to foreigners living here. The government simply doesn't care.
Relevance?
And your point in relation to foreigners is????
The property market has been dead for years, due to oversupply.
So do most Thai's.
