You've misread the tax chart. Tax on 1.8m is NOT at 25%. Its Tax =115k PLUS 25% on income in EXCESS of 1m, viz 800k x 25%= 200k. Total tax payable = 315k. Of course this is with NO deductions and NOT taking a DTA into account if there is one with the OP's home country.

would love to see a screen shot of the pop up, as pop ups of this nature have a tendency to be scams, especially if there is a need to make a telephone call for assistance.

I'd make a slight change to your comment and change foreigners to farangs because the ONLY people being slugged by the dual pricing are those with white skin or black skin. I've seen Japanese, Myanmar, Cambodians & even some Chinese tourists only paying the same price as Thais simply because they are Asian. I also notice how the OP has conveniently omitted to make mention of the dual pricing in hospitals. How does that benefit teh culture. It just lines the pockets of the greedy hospital administrators and doctors.

I can remember when it was first floated to have a GST (VAT) in Australia. The Howard Govt was suggesting, if I remember correctly, 10% on everything. This was changed to 10% only on certain types of items. However, before the GST came into effect, most of the govt's top economic advisors were suggesting a flat 20% GST on all products, even imported goods, and ZERO personal income tax, which meant that people had more of their wages to spend. Their argument was that the govt would raise more tax this way. They even used Kerry Packer as an example. Packer purchased his private jet/s overseas and flew them into Oz, no tax paid on the planes. The economists plan, if implemented, meant Packer would have to pay 20% GST on a plane worth millions of dollars. Howard liked the idea but the Treasurer Peter Costello somehow managed to convince parliament that this wouldn't work. The economists did get it right because their GST formula actually meant that the rich would end up paying their fair share of tax as they would be purchasing high value brand name items, thus more tax paid by them, and with this GST formula it guaranteed that they paid their fair share of tax. Of course history shows that this didn't happen and the middle & low income earners still pay the most personal income tax as they don't have the loopholes & tax havens that the rich do. Govt's, regardless of which country, will always structure their tax rules to favour the wealthy.

because they weren't at the meeting. However, this headline is heavily exaggerated. This was not an unexpected/surprise random drug test, this is an annual procedure in every District across the country. My wife, who is our village's Pooyai Ban, tells me that our district will be conducting the annual drug testing of all our District govt officials in January.

If you received a refund of tax deducted from your interest payments, then you already have a TIN.

of course it's a scam. I also received the same email and I've NEVER had a Kasikorn bank account.

there are some and they can most likely be counted on 1 hand, and I use my wife (recently elected pooyai baan) as an example. All our villages previous pooyai baans have charged a fee (which they are not supposed to) to certify document copies etc. which have gone directly into their pockets. With all the certifications that has been required for Myanmar & Laos people who have lived in Thailand for more than 20 years being granted citizenship, she has been offered fees usually around 500 baht each but she has refused on the basis of it's her job to do it for free. Some of them have insisted, so she's issued a receipt and told the relevant people that their cash will be used as a donation towards the village, and it has been deposited in the village's bank account. She's also made it known to the households in the village that run their small casinos that no bribes will be paid to the police, so they run their casinos at their own risk. She has the support of the vast majority of the village over both these issues. So in short, there are some who are not involved in any form of corruption.

If the biopsy comes back malignant, even if the cancer is localised within the prostate the OP's PSA readings are too high for Brachytherapy. My PSA readings were in range but also around the same as the OP's and Brachytherapy was immediately ruled out by my urologist as an option on that basis alone. For me the choice was conventional radical prostatectomy (robotic wasn't available when I was treated) rather than radiation.

as much as I wanted Tyson to knock Paul out, Paul won on points. The fact Tyson at 58 went the distance says a alot for Tyson's fitness but also says that Paul aint as good as he thinks he is.

have you seen the videos of his training regimen for this fight. Tyson looks fitter, stronger and faster than he has in a very long time. I'm not saying that makes him a certain winner, but I'd love to see him knock Jake Paul out cold.

I notice he didn't say whether it was the orange convicted felon demon.

It's called a car park NOT a parking garage. parking garage is just another instance of americans changing the english language to suit themselves rather than use the correct english naming format.

WRONG. #1. I'm not aussie. #2. It wasn't sarcasm, you meant it you arrogant pommy b.

another bible basher with no grip on reality.
