And maybe, just maybe, the injury happened on another way. However, the hang 'em high brigade can't wait to get going on here without facts, witnesses or corroboration. Lack of brains indeed!!! ..................... Idiocy comes to mind. So a bit of evidence gathering is required before trashing a schoolteachers career. Furthermore, it's a highly unusual place to punish a 3-year-old child. Was something lost in translation with the parent running off gung ho? A few more facts required

Wow, My tax office and bank are nearby each other and 2 km from my house

No, Just take your documentary evidence.

Probably nearer the mark with your guess.

Bit OTT is that. The guy is being creative to drum up business, and let's face it, Christians are well aware that Santa Claus is for kids and bears no resemblance to the meaning of Christmas. It's a bit of harmless fun, take a chill pill.

Good, I hope it costs her a fortune. People like her preying on the dumb and unfortunate.

Doesn't he look amazing? Not a hint of sickness or a neck brace in sight.😆

If he did it. Children can tell lies as well. No evidence to prove it as yet.

Your post makes sense and is the right way for a tax office to go about things. I will be following your route in January. I am not concerned in the slightest about owing them anything, but at least I will have followed the rules, no matter how ambiguous they are. It stops any silly assessment of tax in the future, if your book work is in order at least, I imagine.

Tax office have accepted my certificate of disability, so there's 190,000 baht additional allowance. Pink card accepted as tax ID.

In their dreams.

Only in Thailand. Nutter! Absolute fruitcake.

Yes, That seems to be the case in many situations and these firms feeding on worry to drum up business.

Guys, I watched and listened to both videos, including the lengthy one from Siam Legal's tax expert. The tax expert is saying as foreigners we can contest the new interpretation of the tax rules, not law, because it isn't law, by the revenue department. This is freely admitted by Siam Legal. We can only contest and sue in the court after we have received a tax bill., or an assessable tax bill, based on what we declare or are assessed on. We cannot pre-empt a lawsuit based on something that hasn't happened. I definitely think it is a sit on the fence approach and see what happens and not go racing for tax IDs and TIN numbers based on wannabe Thai tax experts on ASEAN Now, who constantly ram only their opinions down our throats. A quickie for you all. I went to the office of disabilities and spent five hours arguing my case, I am not joking, five hours!, regarding my disabled tax allowance. I spoke to no less than six different disability officers, each one with a completely different opinion to the one previous. That did not include those officers passing by and stopping that felt obliged to stick their sixpence worth in even though it was nothing to do with them. So, you see, you will probably get a similar response from many tax offices as many don't seem to know what is going on yet.

A Swiss businessman summed them up many years ago to me. He said:- ' They are Polite, but they have no manners! '

You can open a non-resident account in Cambodia and get around 4%, you can get monthly interest payments. Tax on interest is around 15% on your interest payment or 7% if you are resident there, which is also easy. Your money would be in USD. Here are two of the strongest banks.

I got it and I agree, They won't do it though, and these bastards deserve a lot more than two years as they've committed murder.

Confused by your comment. Are you saying these kids were in the military, it says nothing about that.

I went to the office for disabilities in Kalasin city today to request a disabled card. Anybody who is under 65 and can prove a disability can claim an additional 190,000 baht on their yearly tax allowances. They were very slow, I was there five frustrating hours, and he printed a plastic disability card off and then was overruled by a senior, and it was not handed over. After showing them letters from the tax office in my local area, and a letter from a doctor at my hospital confirming I have a disability, I was issued, as a compromise, a certificate of disability for tax purposes. The reason given for not giving a card was these cards are linked to prompt pay and monthly government access to disability funds, so they didn't want to give me one, even though I would have no access to such funds, anyway. It was what we call Red tape when they also said my doctor's form signed and stamped was the wrong form, even though this is what the tax office gave me to take to the hospital. So, that's what you do guys if under 65 and disabled to get a further allowance. FWIW, The offices were well aware of the new tax rules being enforced from January 1st 2024, and it is mentioned in the certificate.

Are you really so sad you think Thais just eat platefuls of rice? Ask the 7-11's, KFC, MacDonald's, Five star, Dunkin' Donuts. It's actually what planet are you living on, they were eating sandwiches, if it was rice I would have said such. What an ill thought out, waste of time response on something irrelevant, instead of focussing on the issue.

Then it must be cheap, because the cost of living in Laos is more expensive than Thailand, and on poorer wages.

It's not only about the money, it's the associated heartbreak the users cause. Most are layabouts and get money for drugs from cheating, theft and burgling, doing anything to get funds to buy drugs. They are not 10 baht either, nearer 50 baht to 100 baht. They also attack and bully family members for money, hurt loved ones, neglect their own children and have no respect for others whilst out of control on these substances. Yaa Baa is a scourge on society in Thailand. 75% of those in jail are on drug related offences.

"Do not regret getting old, it's a privilege denied to many " Credited to Mark Twain. A sobering thing to do, is to go visit the War cemetery in Kanchanaburi, I have been a few times and taken friends. Nearly 7,000 poor souls there, and when you look at the young ages of them, it's very upsetting. You come away being very grateful to be still here. I am 62 and had a few health issues, and survived cancer through radical surgery in 2005. I feel, what we have in the here and now, is better than the other option.

Even main dealers pass your cars on to their mates who are second hand car dealers. They then get backhanders. Car dealerships don't, to my knowledge, particularly get involved with what is now, a second hand car.
