Those best XIs are really good time passers. Still nearly 3 weeks to wait for some proper footy, then another week till the Prem starts.

Silent treatment, abuse, is all from how they have been brought up. Im still married to one for 17yrs, not all bad and we have kids. They are just not on the same planet....when its good its good when its bad its very bad. For those of us who have kids here I can bet they have also witnessed their mom going mental.

Same situation with a house on mortgage, given these times were in had to use the 3 months grace option, times are tough and I wish you well bro. For those who question getting a mortgage here, yes you can but only as a guarantour.

Why not milk them for all you can.....they would do the same.

Anynother bites the dust

This does not make sense, if there are no infections, why should all places be closed, all people will be free of the virus if we are to believe the media. The whole world is crazy

Nice one Mark. Asa.

Schmiecal, Maldini, Vertonghen, Ramos , Lahm, Gerrard, Zidane, Berkamp, Pele, Maradona, Puskas

While you work on wilai's question, have a go at this one as well.

 

Six clubs have won the premier league.

Name the player that has played for four of those clubs, but he has never won the Premier League?

You're ignoring the FACT that Thailand has been doing very limited testing. I was just reading that Mexico has done a similar thing and their health authorities are openly admitting that their official numbers represent a massive undercount of the actual numbers.

I had a physio appointment at 1.30pm today at a very very good Hospital in BKK. I used 70% alcohol before I left the unit to wash my hands and at the same time took my temp. I got to the car park and had my hands rewashed and temp taken again before I could even get to my Vespa. I thought I would buy a bottle of Gin in case there is a lock-down and so the Supermarket kindly washed my hands and lasered my forehead once again. 10 minutes later I arrived at the Hospital and they gave me a thorough cleaning and temp check before I was allowed in. The lift had a hand gel machine and I couldn't resist it. I checked in where they nodded at the hand gel and then I was led to get my BP, temp & heart rate checked. Upon my return to the Condo I had another temp check and got doused in gel once again. In the lift was another hand wash gel and I thought "In for a penny, in for a pound" and had another splash around. So all in all, in the space of 2 hours I had 9 hand washes and 6 temp checks. Am I alone thinking the world has gone crazy?

About 30%-50% of the population take or have taken it IMHO.

Almost every university student I've met is taking it.

My gf was taking 10 tabs a day when I first met her.

Much more popular than cannabis.

 

But it's not certain this was the guy in the OPs problem.

More likely he was banging them both (30yo and 14yo) and got upset when they left.

A situation even more common that drug taking, most village people consider the step-daughter a perk of taking on mom, it isn't even all that frowned upon.

Absolute <deleted>, the man fell on hard times like alot of people. not condoning it but some theories are way off.

Yes the worlds gone mad

Mexico, have little, next to US to......think about it folks, something not right here

what you believe!
I don't smoke and I don't drink alcohol.
I live in the countryside in the middle of rice fields and heveas plantations.
My lung and heart capacities are in excellent condition, according to the last encephalogram and the radio of my lungs made a fortnight ago at the public hospital in Udon Thani.
I am not diabetic or fat, which my bike appreciates, moreover
When I climb Phupalek, 4.8 km at 10% average, I arrive at the top with pulsations at 115/120, so very below my maximum allowed which is, I remind you: 220 minus my age (71 ) = 149

TV family. Its a fact it started in China, point solved. Now were getting the picture, my family is stuck in Thailand and I can not get back for the forseeable future. Stop bickering and isolate, its the only way right now. You should see the chaos in Europe, its <deleted>%&ed

Its not rocket science, stay in for 2 weeks people. This is not going away.

People wearing masks to help prevent them from contracting the virus are not wasting them. The fault is with the supply chain and the Thailand government, not healthy people trying desperately not to get sick.

 

The truth is, Thailand is in serious trouble, masks or no masks. They've left it too late and Italy could be a paradise compared to what might happen here. They were so obsessed with protecting their tourist industry they lost sight of the big picture. Other countries have or are closing their borders. Australia just announced a total ban on non-citizens and residents from entering. New Zealand has shut down with only 6 confirmed cases. They have just shut down their tourism industry for the sake of their survival. Who in their right mind would take a vacation right now anyway?

 

It is very serious business in the Philippines right now too. Many or maybe all towns throughout the whole country are in total lockdown with no cars or people allowed in or out. All schools are closed. The giant city of Manila has been in lockdown since last Thursday. What is Thailand doing? Too little, too late.

Tropo, you hit the nail on the head bro. These are very testing times, Im stuck in Europe under lock down....this is no joke. Make sure your loved ones are ok. Mask do F%&k all.

Where is the company located?  If it is in the socialist utopia of Norway, taxes are owed there.  Assuming income taxes are higher than business taxes (working for your company), your best bet would be to form a Norske company with all its concomitant fees - formation, counsel, auditor etc. which may well be lower than BVI/Luxem offshore.

 

In addition, you'd have to set up a bank account for the offshore co. and have to deal with currency transfers fees, reporting etc.

 

Given that you are willing to invest ~$2,000-$3,000 on co. formation etc,, I'd suggest a $1.000 consultation with a CPA in your town in the first instance and you may well find that the path to lower tax burden to be quicker, easier and cheaper.

 

 

The company is located in the UK, but the job will be in Finland. I can just go on the books with the UK company or set up as a contractor to them, this is what I am exploring.

If your wife is Thai she can easily set up a company and get a tax/vat number.  

You can be an employee even if you don't work in and therefore have a work permit in Thailand. 

You can pay her to be office manager so she can pay the tax? As obviously you can work in Thailand.

 

If she lives in near Bangkok I can point her/you in the right direction.

 

Or they could hire you through and agency. If oil and gas should be easy.

 

Thanks Neil, not sure that route is possible. The company in the UK needs to see I pay tax somewhere, with me being a UK citizen they mentioned the CIS (self employed route) this way they will pay the 20% tax, I am just unsure on doing this hence looking at the offshore set up as Crossy mentioned. Its all giving me a headache tbh as never having done it before. Can you shed any more light on the agency option? the industry would be construction.

Thailand is the last place I'd consider setting up.

 

It's been a while since I've been contracting, but I used an umbrella company in Luxembourg (sorry I don't recall the name) or set up yourself in British Virgin Islands.

 

Thanks Crossy, can the above be done online, I just want the easiest solution, last resort is to go on the books with the company in the UK, but again its the high tax.

Hi Guy's

I am looking for some advice on the below, I will try to explain my situation the best I can.

I have been away from the UK since 2002 and have my family in Thailand, during this time we had lived due to my work in Dubai for 5 years. The job has now finished so my family have relocated back to Thailand, unfortunately I am now based in Norway with a new company, obviously missing the family very much, given the high tax over here at 43% I am barley getting by let lone to be bale to properly take care at home. My family do not want to relocate here.

I may have the opportunity to work with another company as a contractor to help save on tax and get home home more often, I believe in the UK you can do this with a CIS card? Given I have been away so long I am unfamiliar with this and am just chasing my NI number as I forget that long ago. I had been told that as long as I pay tax (Which obviously I am willing to do), the company would consider paying me in Thailand as long as I set up a company there, I would just like your advice on the best way for me to approach this, can I or do I register a company in Thailand and provide the details to my Europe employer or shall I go the route of trying to obtain and register through the UK going the CIS route?

Sorry if the above is a bit vague as I have never worked as a contractor before and I am just trying to find the best solution that suits financially without the high tax burden.

15 pages of reading shi&e , been a long time member, you new people are not worth a wan& , I know many people here with good hearts, there not all after ripping us off. Seems the OP has been had and fair play you mug
