Haha I was on this crossing about 1,5 months ago couple of Loatian workers were on the border minibus with us aswell. They only had to pay 150bht, for the white people it was 900bht.

Freelance, no contracts.

Yes but a singapore bankaccount wouldnt give me a vat number, which means no one will pay me.

Syechelles company with singapore bamkaccount is one of the other options.

Thx soutpeel, i dont work the uk sector so no need to worry about that. In Holland they will pay u as long as u have a registered company and a VAT number.

Did some research and phonecalls to Dutch tax advisory companies, looks like it's going to be a company in Seychelles Island and a bank account in Mauritius.

Hey soutpeel,

Yes I've read the Thai tax tables. I am a self employed seafarer, 25% - 30% is better than Dutch taxes but still not really as low as i want them to be.

What would be the best legal way to avoid (high) taxes? Is it possible to start a company in Singapore or Hong Kong, pay taxes there and live in Thailand or The Philippines?

My income will vary between US$ 80.000 and US$ 120.000 each year, mainly earned in the northsea. Which means I can't just "hide" the money in an offshore account.

Best regards.

Hi there,

I know the tax story is a never ending story I'm thinking about permanently moving to Southeast Asia. I have been residing in Thailand 4/5 months a year for the past 4 years.

How did you do it? Just trough a Thai company? Or an offshore account/offshore company? For me it is important that everything is legal, I dont want any problems when I return back to Holland.

Thanks in advance!
