For example, the developer XYZ in Moo Baan ABC, charges everyone in the Moo Baan 6.5 baht/unit.  So like 30-100 houses or however many in it.

Just wondering if thats ok.  Houses are "owned" by each person(s)/Company within it.

Thanks.

That's a grey area. The only way to find out would be to approach the OCPB.

Do you or anyone know if this applies to Moo Baan's aka Housing areas/villages/developments ?

 

I know of some that charge more than standard rate on electric.

It does not matter where the properties are located. The individual landlord must have 5 or more residential properties that they let out.

That can be 5 houses in a single moo baan. It could be 2 properties in one moo baan and 3 properties in another moo baan. It could be 5 condos in Bangkok. Or 1 condo in Bangkok, 1 condo in Phuket, a house in Chiang Rai and 2 apartments in Koh Pi Pi.

Yes you can go to the Labour Office and hand in the documents and pay the fee yourself.

You will, however, need to submit documentation supplied by your employer that is signed by a company director. There is no way of getting these documents without your employers agreement.

English is the only acceptable language anywhere on ThaiVisa including Classifieds, except within the Thai language forum, where of course using Thai is allowed. Short Thai translation of technical terms is permitted in specialty forums.

Thank you all for your replies, dear blackcab if she starts the business then how about our visas ? i will still be holding a non-o type visa and he will still have a tourist visa, how to change the visa into type B.

If you want an extension of stay based on working then you will have to set up a Thai limited company with four Thai employees paid at least the minimum wage for each extension of stay. You will also need to receive a minimum salary of 50,000 baht per month (assuming you are from a developed country) and you will need to pay social fund contributions for all staff.

Be aware that the extension of stay on the basis of work is one of the more difficult categories to get. My own documentation bundle for immigration is about 3cms thick.

I would be very surprised if your business idea would make enough profit to pay all of the outgoings.

Personally I would let her run the place for 6 months without forming a company and see if it's worth it.  You business partner can survive on tourist visas for that long until you can make a firm decision to move forward or not.

This even happened in June/July of 2018. It is not current news.

@cmsally You definately need to list it on ddproperty (and other similar websites) in English and Thai.

That is all most agents will do in terms of marketing, and most of them do not do it well.

...for certain reasons I can't get legally married...

That alone makes it almost impossible. Non-Thai applicants are expected to be legally married.

If you had video footage of her being violent, especially against your son, then you would have evidence enough to get full custody.

At the minute your wife has joint custody, so she has equal rights over your child.

Just to clarify, do you mean getting a test for your own peace of mind?

I ask because if you want to prove paternity in a Thai Court of Law then you can only use designated Thai hospitals.

As has been stated, you need to include half of the width of the walls. There is no overriding the land office measurement, unless you want to pay at your own expense for a new survey. Such a survey will have a waiting period of several weeks or sometimes several months. In the meantime the developer will ask you to pay them the price of the undisputed area (25sqm). You will get a receipt but you will not get the title deed.

Once the new survey is carried out, you will be liable for interest and penalties on any outstanding amount, as per your contract. Once this is paid you will be able to receive your title deed.

I can assure you that the land office surveyors do not tend to make mistakes. The teams that measure new build condos literally spend every day, for years, measuring new build units with laser measuring equipment.

Moved to the Bangkok Forum for local assistance.

Thai citizens do not need to open a "promptpay account". All they have to do is link their mobile phone number against their existing bank account in order to receive money sent by promptpay.

Your wife just needs to ask her bank to add promptpay to her existing bank account.

Once that is done she can have the money sent directly to her account. In future years, she should input the mobile telephone number she uses for promptpay into the tax refund website when she does her tax return. Her refund will get credited automatically to her bank account and she won't have to go anywhere.

Don't forget you also have to pay all outstanding taxes, penalties and late filling fees to bring the company up to date before it can be closed.

A large part of the closure process is the government checking they have received all taxes due.

Can he keep the house and stiff all creditors?

I doubt it. He might not be declared bankrupt, but eventually the Legal Execution Department will probably seize his house and auction it off.

...effectively raising my taxes by around 1,500%...

Your tax would not be increased. Each month you would pay 1/12 of the total annual tax due.

For example: 12,000 baht at the end of the year, or 1,000 baht each month for 12 months.

Have you checked the status of the company with the DBD? It might already be dissolved.

There are quite a few ways to work out pro rata salaries. You have mentioned monthly working days -v- days of the month. 

The normal practice in Thailand is the 30/31 method, but I have to say I'm not sure what system the Labour Court use in their calculations. I suspect the 30/31 method though.

we started our bus 4th quarter last yr. We don't have a company. I think they said to the wife that we have to pay march this yr?

 

I will do what you say and take photos and measure it. Ask wife to take this to the office to sort it. When they visited us they mentioned one of the signs will be 8000 baht. Huge money...

 

thanks

If you can prove the date the sign was erected or you can prove the business start date, you will pay only for the months of last year the sign was erected (about 3 months). If not you will be charged for the whole year. You can pay in March if you prefer. The actual rule is you must submit the PP1 form by the 31st March, and pay within 15 days of receiving your invoice.

Do you have a receipt from the sign manufacturer? Did your wife register as a sole trader at the district office?

Please measure the sign height and width at the widest points and post the measurements here. I will calculate the tax for you. Please state if the sign is Thai only text; foreign language only text, or a combination of Thai and foreign language text.

A tax rate of 8,000 baht would be a foreign language only sign of 10 square meters, or a combination Thai and foreign language sign of 20 square meters, or a Thai text only sign of approximately 133 square meters.

Perhaps the OP would like a drink to accompany his meal. There is an excellent selection in our pub, which is where I am moving this topic to.
