If you want to get rid of Somalis, house them near water. In Northern Europe they drop like flies during summer because they are too stupid to understand the dangers of water and on the other hand they don't learn to swim because allah has banned it or something.

According to Chat-gpt: The statement: "Eliminating international double taxation on income and capital without creating opportunities for non-taxation or reduced taxation through complying with the key substantive conditions underlying the OECD Model Tax Convention" primarily concerns companies, but it can also apply to individuals, depending on the context. Here’s a breakdown: Primary Focus: Companies (Multinational Enterprises) This language is closely aligned with OECD Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) initiatives. It targets corporate tax planning strategies that exploit gaps and mismatches in tax rules (e.g., treaty shopping, artificial profit shifting). The goal is to: Avoid double taxation where the same income is taxed in two jurisdictions. But prevent abuse where entities reduce or avoid taxation entirely (double non-taxation or under-taxation). Example: A multinational sets up a shell company in a tax treaty jurisdiction to benefit from a treaty's lower withholding tax rate—despite having no real economic activity there. The OECD aims to stop this kind of abuse. Secondary Relevance: Individuals For individual taxpayers, especially cross-border workers or investors, double taxation agreements (DTAs) based on the OECD Model Convention: Prevent income (e.g., salaries, pensions, dividends) from being taxed twice. Allocate taxing rights between residence and source countries. However, the language in your quote is more technical and policy-driven, typical of corporate anti-avoidance frameworks—not standard individual-level tax relief. Conclusion: The statement mainly concerns companies, especially multinational corporations, and reflects efforts to strike a balance between: Preventing double taxation (legitimate relief), While blocking abuse of treaties to achieve double non-taxation or artificial tax advantages. If you have a specific use case (individual investor, business owner, etc.), I can narrow it further.

Many government officials here are mostly interested in lining their own pockets. This is a country where civil servants have exotic car collections. It's wishful thinking to think that the RD would be an exception. I think it’s obvious that there will be many cases where foreigners are scammed by RD officials, especially elderly ones intimidated by fear-mongering.

I guess the somchais at tax office are waking up to the fact that they can make money off of the falang numbnuts who are very eager to pay tax and don't take no for an answer.

We haven't had a prolonged bear market since Fed started doing QE in 2008. It has kept bond rates low and injected liquidity to the system. Perhaps this time could be different if the orange doofus continues with the tariff shenanigans and inflation shoots up. That would limit Fed's wiggle room significantly. Will be interesting to see how this plays out. A proper old school bear market would be an absolute shock for newer investors.

Islomophobia is an oxymoron. Phobia means irrational fear. There is nothing irrational about resisting, disliking, despising, hating or even fearing islam. It is the single worst ideology to ever appear on the face of the Earth.

Looks rather nice minus the bearded dancers. I wonder if they will tax foreign income in Trump Gaza? This could be an option if Thailand moves forward with the silly plan of taxing foreigners.

And six months later we will see a headline: "Solutions Sought for Dealing with Unruly Tourists in Thailand trains". This country is just absolutely pathetic. If they are this desperate for a few more baht why can't the PM take one for the team and launch her OF to fill the coffers.

If you want to donate money to an utterly corrupt 3rd world country I guess that's your right but don't expect the Thais to give a rat's ass about your 'moral right' to complain. They will laugh at your face. You will never have any rights here.

I wonder how progressive people see gender in other mammals. Let's say a puppy for example, do they agree that it can be either male or female and the gender can easily be verified by checking whether it has a dong or not? Or is it the same nonsense with animals?

At around 29:23 the guy says that if assessable income reaches certain threshold you need to file. So this seems to confirm the fact that if you have no assessable income then no need to file.

Western cozy prisons are way too soft places for these kind of criminals. Hard labor is what these people should get. Digging ditches, building roads etc. like in the past. Make this guy work for 12 hours a day seven days a week. If he refuses or cannot work anymore take him to the vet to be put down.

Well it seems to work for Singapore. If it's good enough for Singapore then surely it is good enough for Thailand.

You are confusing two things here. CRS and worldwide taxation. In these countries you have to declare foreign income because these countries have a worldwide tax system. It has nothing to do with CRS. If you want to find an example of a country that is in CRS and doesn't require tax residents to declare foreign income then look into countries that are in CRS and don't tax foreign income. Such as Singapore for example. This quote is from Singapore government website: "Generally, you do not need to pay tax or report overseas income received in Singapore, including income deposited into a Singapore bank account.". https://www.iras.gov.sg/taxes/individual-income-tax/basics-of-individual-income-tax/what-is-taxable-what-is-not/income-received-from-overseas

The CRS may very well have a grand mission statement where it says that the aim is to stop tax evasion bla bla bla. But what the countries have actually agreed to do is just share a lousy excel sheet with certain information about bank accounts. Nothing more, nothing less. To think that the CRS would mandate the participating countries to individually verify that no one is evading taxes is just absurd.
