    Didn't a Polish Insta girl just get let off the hook for trying to smuggle much more cannabis into the UK?

    Maybe he meant that Thai people who are in the highest bracket (often high ranking government officials) receive enough brown envelopes during the year to bring their real tax rate down to 10%.

    There’s a new article on taxes on BP. It states that 4 million people in Thailand pay income tax. According to ChatGPT, there are approximately 2 million civil servants in Thailand. If we assume they all pay income tax, that leaves only 2 million people in the private sector contributing to income tax. I’m genuinely impressed by the tax-dodging skills of Thai people!

    If wokery and immigration from 3rd world countries were the way to promised land the UK economy should be absolutely booming. But the FTSE looks like a comatose man's pulse. What gives?

    Using a tax accountant guarantees nothing. You are still fully liable for everything, just as you would be without one. Always happy to say goodbye permanently to poor losers. One shouldn't hang around such people, online or offline, unless one wants to become one.

    What service are you talking about? You mean the LTR visa? Afaik that is the only way to get tax exemption on foreign income.
  8. Antti
    In that case yes but not all foreigners in Thailand are so poor that they would only own 10,000 baht in Thai taxes.

    Even if your paperwork is 100% perfect a rogue Somchai at RD can decide what they want anyway. IMO unless Thailand gives a blanket exemption for foreigners on foreign income ala Philippines the only truly safe way forward is less than 180 days per year in Thailand. They really shot themselves in the foot with these well planned and organized changes to the tax code..

    Lol, no it’s not. Why would it be? I guess you are American and don’t understand how normal countries do things.
  11. Antti
    What is the issue with that? Are you jealous?
  12. Antti
    Fine by me, as long as they quietly shelve their plans of taxing expats.
  13. Antti
    All that could be a moot point anyway if the Thai revenue department works like other branches of the government, i.e. they can decide what they want regardless of the laws and regulations. You might think you have all your ducks in a row but a Somchai in a provincial RD office just says ”you pay”. Then what you do?
  14. Antti
    Yes, I’m sure expats in Thailand need not to worry about negative income tax, which means getting money from the government. Positive (normal) income tax on the other hand, I wouldn’t be so sure about, at least in the long run.

    This is a totally unenforceable mess. Determining when remitted funds were earned will be difficult for people with multiple income sources, bank accounts, brokerage accounts, etc. Either taxes will continue to be something foreigners don’t have to worry about, or they will implement worldwide taxation. I don’t see this current situation being enforced.
